As an illustration of the text about the righteous that groweth like a tree and the unrighteous that, like chaff, the wind bloweth away, this picture may be of use to Sunday schools and the like. The first nine tenths part of it is very carefully thought out and effective. It is so well prepared and played that the old story becomes quite fresh and newly interesting, so that we enjoyed watching it. But that "home coming" to the old barroom is most unconvincing and weak and, after what had gone before, so is the method of conversion. We think that, if the opening of the picture had been the father's reading the text to his son, it would have been even stronger. Kathlyn Williams plays the girl; Barney Furey the man, and Al. W. Filson his father. The photography is clear in most of the scenes. - The Moving Picture World, July 26, 1913
