Flint forecloses on the property of Widow Ames, rousing the indignation of the minister, David Dowling. The Dowlings take Mrs. Ames home, and the following Sunday the text is: "It is harder for a camel to pass through a needle's eye." Jabez leaves in the middle of the sermon. The next day when a delegation calls on him for a donation he tells them that they will get nothing of the sort from him, but that if they will depose Dowling and call a new man that he will build them a new church. This is done and Dowling, brokenhearted, retires. Before the new meeting house is finished Flint is stricken with small-pox. Fearing to die, he sends for the new minister to read him the scripture but the preacher is afraid to go near the diseased man. In despair, Flint summons Dowling. The old minister goes to him and helps the village doctor save Flint's life. Dowling is reinstated, his salary doubled, and the Widow Ames receives back her home.
