Excerpt from The Second Things of Life
'Take Mark, and bring him with thee: for he is useful to me for ministering.' - 2 Tim. iv. 11.
On the shore of the bay of Naples, north of Pozzuoli, there is a ruined temple of Serapis. Only three columns survive, but they have one striking and significant characteristic. For about nine feet the marble is perforated by the borings of a marine bivalve, which can still be traced within the holes drilled into the stone.
