Our New Minister (1910)

We are shown a scene in the country post office, where the news that the new minister will arrive with the next train causes great commotion and all prepare to meet him. At the same time, Marguerite, a city girl, also arrives, to open a milliner shop in the little village and with her cunning ways, causes a stir in the hearts of the country youths. Cynthia, a sweet country girl, was the sweetheart of Reuben Lealand and when he also became a victim of Marguerite, it would seem her heart would break. However, Cynthia found a friend in the new minister who was a witness of the indifferent treatment poor Cynthia received and Reuben decided that the simplest way to get out of reach would be an elopement with Marguerite. This he almost accomplished but for the minister, who not only checked the elopement, but married Reuben and Cynthia and pointed out the road for Marguerite to follow. This accomplished, he did more, he re-united the hearts of Reuben and Cynthia and we see a happy ending.
