This professor imparted the wisdom of the times and did not earn a living wage. The sons of wealthy and powerful individuals are students who lack any motivation. The professor's next-door neighbor, businessman Olsen, had money and a lot of food, while the Grieg family had almost none. Peter Olsen and Reverend Gates were both attracted by the beauty of young Amelia Griggs. When wealthy son Phil West fell in love with Amelia Griggs and became friends with the poor Pastor Gates, he finally saw the difference in his life and tried to do something to change it.
