It was a
matter of surprise to all, that the son of the miser, Mark Hurdlestone,
should know how to use, without abusing, his wealth; that, avoiding the
selfish idolatry of the Gold Worshipper and the folly and extravagance
of the spendthrift, he dedicated to the service of God and his
fellow-creatures the riches that, in his father's case, had illustrated
the truth of the heaven-taught proverb:--
"How hardly shall a rich man enter the kingdom of God!"
