Within the wide bounds of the Christian Church there is abundant scope for the multiplicity of races, languages, and social conditions; room also for separate organizations with different traditions of faith and order, and much diversity of operation. But there is no room for strife or hostility, for pride or selfassertion, for exclusiveness or unkind judgments, nor for that kind of independence which leads men to ignore their fellowship with the great company of believers, the communion of saints. These things are contrary to the revealed will of God, and should be made at once to cease. As these disappear, the outward manifestation of unity will come in such ways as the Spirit of God shall guide.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6985</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My poor head is in such a whirl, my mind is all in bits. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27965]]></link><description><![CDATA[My poor head is in such a whirl, my mind is all in bits.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27965</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every girl should use what Mother Nature gave her before Father Time takes it away. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17468]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every girl should use what Mother Nature gave her before Father Time takes it away.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17468</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Stuff your eyes with wonder . . . live as if you'd drop dead in ten seconds.
