What is to become of a stone mason if he received a contract to build a shrine to a Roman god? What is to become of a Taylor, that was hired to sew garments for priests of the Greek gods?

There's a story about F.W. Charrington. He was the heir to a fortune made by brewing. He was passing a bar one night. There was a woman waiting at the door. A man, obviously her husband, came out, and she was trying to keep him from going back in. With one blow of his fist the man knocked her down. Charrington started forward, and then he looked up. The name above the bar was his own, and Charrington said: 'With that one blow that man did not only knock his wife out, he also knocked me clean out of that business forever.' And he gave up the fortune he might have had, rather than touch money earned in such a way.
