Excerpt from Cities of Paul: Beacons of the Past Rekindled for the Present The diseases which infected all and ruined most of the cities mentioned in this book are not strangers among us. Political rings more insolent and more rapacious than that which plundered Tarsus are objects familiar to most Americans. The greed that turned into bandits the merchants of Corinth has perverted into depredators upon the community some, at least, of those soldiers without uniforms, whose legitimate business is to defend it from hunger and cold and nakedness. Roman contempt for the helpless slave has reappeared in that brutal indifference to the public welfare shown alike by syndicates of capital and combinations of labor, upper and nether millstones grinding the rest of us between them.
