Excerpt from Samson and Shylock: Or, a Preacher's Plea for the Workingmen, Himself a Day Laborer Text: And Hezekiah had exceeding much riches. For God had given him substance very much. And Hezekiah prospered in all his works. - II Chron. 32: 27, 29, 30. King Hezekiah was a good man and rich. Though his coffers were full, his heart was none the less rich both manward and Godward. Accumulated wealth, power, prerogative and dazzling aggrandizment could not sour his disposition, or induce acerbity of spirit. He was impervious to all the wiles of wealth. He was not a rich man, but a Man rich. There are more rich men than there are men rich. Dives has a numerous posterity. The capitalist snubbing the associates of humbler years, and even turning his back on the toil-bent parents that succored him in infancy and youthhood, shows how Lazarus may develop the spirit that is so universally detested.
