"It would take long long long to make us all so." "It would be slow p'raps. Well, so it would but good comes quick for them as begins callin' it. It's been quick for ME," drawing her thread through the needle's eye triumphantly. "Lor', yes, me legs is better me luck's better people's better. Bless yer, yes!" "It's true," said Glad; "she gets on somehow. Things comes. She never wants no drink.
"Yea, hard by stood a small company, one of them in the garment of a Rabbi. Beholding the struggling he said, 'Verily, verily, it is easier for a camel to get through a needle's eye than for a rich man to get into Heaven. Then did those about fasten searching eyes on me, and I like him not." "The truth doth fit close, friend Joel.
That seems to you rather a strong expression, does it not? But let me make good my boldness. A needle's point is very fine, I admit; but a person who could not see it without spectacles must have very poor sight. Whereas the last subdivisions of the blood-tubes are so attenuated, that the best eyes in the world, your own included, cannot distinguish them.
And where our Saviour saith himself, "It is more easy for a camel" or, as some say, "for a great cable rope," for "camelus" so signifieth in the Greek tongue "to go through a needle's eye than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God."

"How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God! For it is easier for a camel to enter in through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God." LUKE xviii. 24, 25. The most significant thing in the teaching of Jesus concerning money is the large place which it fills in the records of our Lord's public ministry.

In this way the rich inevitably become the elect, both here and hereafter, and the needle's eye is widened into a gap." There was on Mr. Parr's lips a smile not wholly pleasant to see.
Larrabbee, that she was reserved for a worldly match. A clergyman's wife! What would become of the clergyman? And yet other clergymen had married rich women, despite the warning of the needle's eye. She drove him in her buckboard to Jordan's Pond, set, like a jewel in the hills, and even to the deep, cliff bordered inlet beyond North East, which reminded her, she said, of a Norway fiord.
Mairover the gardener's craft be a gentle one, and I see na reason why, if a white lily like yoursel must toil and spin, it should na be oot in God's sunshine, where the flowers bloom, instead o' pricking the bluid oot o' yer body, and the hope oot o' yer heart, wi' the needle's point, as I ha' seen sae mony o' my ain coontry lassies do.
But he had a cold humility which he had discovered to be a mere essential of the intelligence."
