Read the Introduction by Rev. Robert Maguire, D. D.

Mr. Hard-Heart

"HARD-HEART is, of a truth, a Diabolonian principle. It knows not what remorse or sorrow is; it feels nothing; no impulse pierces through this hard iron breast-plate. Others may weep, but Hard-Heart never weeps; others may feel, but Hard-Heart can not sympathize with any. Of such a one it may be said—'His heart is as firm as a stone; yea, as hard as a piece of the nether millstone,' Job 41:24."[2]
