Jesus said: "It is easier for a camel to go through the needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven." But the most significant of the utterances of the illumined Nazarene is the one in which he said: "Except ye become as little children, ye can in no wise enter the kingdom of heaven."
Thus, we find that in most of the swiftest sewing machines, the needle bar is actuated by a simple crank pin or eccentric, there being no loop dip or pause in its motion. The diagram shows a positive take-up in three positions at the commencement of the needle's descent, during the detention of the loop by the beak, and during the casting off of the loop.
Imagine a magnetic needle swung out of its position and tending to return to it while moving with a uniform speed through a resisting medium in which a sheath of a diameter slightly greater than the needle's opens bit by bit. The Sirex behaves more or less in the same fashion. His magnetic pole is the light outside. He makes for that direction by imperceptible deviations as his tooth digs.
You do with all your complicated egoity as the camel did with his cameltiness before he could enter the needle's eye; then heigh presto! it is the Elixir of Life you have drunk; it is freedom you have attained of the roaming-place of Dragons!
Foakes Jackson, entitled "The Faith and the War," a volume in which the curious reader may contemplate deans and canons, divines and church dignitaries, men intelligent and enquiring and religiously disposed, all lying like overladen camels, panting under this load of obsolete theological responsibility, groaning great articles, outside the needle's eye that leads to God.
Unlock the gates; I guess the matter. Doria has been rash. The state balances upon a needle's point. There has assuredly been some disturbance at the senate-house. What's here! They're coming down the street of Balbi a crowd of many thousands the halberds glitter ah, swords too! Halloo! Senators! They come this way. FIESCO. Sedition is on foot.
And now think what a wonderful fairy tale you might write for yourself and every word of it true of the adventures of one atom of Potash or some other Salt, no bigger than a needle's point, in such a lava stream as I have been telling of. How it has run round and round, and will run round age after age, in an endless chain of change.
But not until he saw Stewart pounce on the incident of the mammoth surprise-party as a clinching argument against land-monopoly, did that austere janitor hang his keys on his thumb, to hunt-up, far back in his book, the page reserved in case of rich men. And still the metaphor of the camel and the needle's eye stands unimpaired.
However, so it was, and when I tell you what the needle's end was, you will probably not think me worth a serious person's attention. That I shall, of course, regret, but it was simply this: Dora would write with a 'J' pen for which it was William's idiosyncrasy to have an unconquerable aversion.
It's like looking for a needle in a bundle of hay, I know; but the needle's there, and you've got to pick out the hay bit by bit till there's nothing left but dust it's sand here then you've got to blow the dust away, and there's the needle." "That's good philosophy, Sam," said Frank, smiling. "Is it, sir? Well, I am glad of it. I only meant it for good advice."
