'No one has said anything to me about a war. I really think I should have been told. I'll be damned,' he said defiantly, 'if they shall have a war without consulting me.

Come as the fire: and purge our hearts  Like sacrificial flame; Let our whole soul as offering be  To our redeemer's name.

In these Books we shall find the father from whom, the son by whom, and the holy Ghost in whom all things have their being and keeping up, and these three persons to be but one God, and one substance.   Read [Holy Scripture] humbly with a meek and lowly heart, to the intent you may glorify God, and not your self, with the knowledge of it: and read it not without daily praying to God, that he would direct your reading to good effect: and take upon you to expound it no further than you can plainly understand it. For (as Saint Augustine says) the knowledge of holy Scripture is a great, large, and a high place, but the door is very low, so that the high & arrogant man cannot run in: but he must stoop low, and humble himself, that shall enter into it... The humble man may search any truth boldly in the Scripture, without any danger of error. (Continued tomorrow)   ... "A Fruitful exhortation to the reading of holy Scripture", from the Anglican Homilies [1562]  March 4, 2001 Commemoration of Felix, Bishop, Apostle to the East Angles, 647 Continuing a short series of testimonies on the Scriptures:   Scripture in some places is easy, and in some places hard to be understood. This have I said, as touching the fear to read, through ignorance of the person. And concerning the hardness of Scripture, he that is so weak that he is not able to [eat] strong meat, yet he may suck the sweet and tender milk, and defer the rest, until he wax stronger, and come to more knowledge. For God receives the learned and unlearned, and casts away none, but [does not discriminate]. And the Scripture is full as well of low valleys, plain ways, and easy for every man to use, and to walk in: as also of high hills & mountains, which few men can climb unto.   ... "A Fruitful exhortation to the reading of holy Scripture", from the Anglican Homilies [1562]  March 5, 2001 Continuing a short series of testimonies on the Scriptures:   We are to believe and follow Christ in all things, including his words about Scripture. And this means that Scripture is to be for us what it was to him: the unique, authoritative, and inerrant Word of God, and not merely a human testimony to Christ, however carefully guided and preserved by God. If the Bible is less than this to us, we are not fully Christ's disciples.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6351</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Relying on the government to protect your privacy is like asking a peeping tom to install your window blinds. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9361]]></link><description><![CDATA[Relying on the government to protect your privacy is like asking a peeping tom to install your window blinds.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9361</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no wider gulf in the universe than yawns between those on the hither and thither side of vital ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62472]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no wider gulf in the universe than yawns between those on the hither and thither side of vital experience.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62472</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Those graceful groves that shade the plain, Where Tiber rolls majestic to the main,  And flattens, as he runs, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59261]]></link><description><![CDATA[Those graceful groves that shade the plain, Where Tiber rolls majestic to the main,  And flattens, as he runs, the fair campagne.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59261</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A Scout is never taken by surprise; he knows exactly what to do when anything unexpected happens. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54901]]></link><description><![CDATA[A Scout is never taken by surprise; he knows exactly what to do when anything unexpected happens.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54901</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Silence is the great teacher, and to learn its lessons you must payattention to it.

Born in a manger, and crucified as a malefactor, He now controls the destinies of the civilized world, and rules a spiritual empire which embraces one-third of the inhabitants of the globe. There never was in this world a life so unpretending, modest, and lowly in its outward form and condition, and yet producing such extraordinary effects upon all ages, nations, and classes of men. The annals of history produce no other example of such complete and astonishing success in spite of the absence of those material, social, literary, and artistic powers and influences which are indispensable to success for a mere man.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6179</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The man had packed his suitcase and was ready to travel abroad to his holiday residence.
