Mabel Wynn : $b or, "Those boys"

In the quiet town of Westville a new kind of Sunday‑School begins to stir, drawing together wary deacons, skeptical matriarchs and a handful of hopeful reformers. As traditional believers brace against “innovations,” a modest institute opens its doors, offering instruction, discussion and a fresh burst of prayer that gradually fills the pews with curious faces. The early meetings pulse with the tension between old habits and the promise of a more united, thoughtful faith.

Into this charged atmosphere steps Mabel Wynn, a bright‑spirited newcomer eager to prove herself despite her admission that she may “make a poor show.” Her enthusiasm lands her at the superintendent’s desk, where she asks where she can serve, setting the stage for a personal journey of learning, responsibility, and the challenge of living out the ideals spoken in the opening hymns. Listeners will find a vivid portrait of a community wrestling with change, and a young woman poised to discover where her heart truly belongs.
