Excerpt from Porphyry, the Philosopher, to His Wife, Marcella No body of men should attract more interest, and within certain limits more sympathy, than those who in the third and fourth centuries stood forth as the champions of the creed and civilisation of the ancient world. It is true that they failed to understand their age; it is also true that to the believer in that Providential government of the world known to the philosopher as "the survival of the fittest," the fact that their cause was lost is sufficient proof that in its own brief day it was not fitting that it should live.
