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[The best way to keep good acts in memory is to refresh them with new. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/498]]></link><description><![CDATA[The best way to keep good acts in memory is to refresh them with new.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/498</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When evening closes Nature's eye, The glow-worm lights her little spark  To captivate her favorite fly   And ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17581]]></link><description><![CDATA[When evening closes Nature's eye, The glow-worm lights her little spark  To captivate her favorite fly   And tempt the rover through the dark.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17581</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In literature as in ethics, there is danger, as well as glory, in being subtle.

The Notebooks of Florence Allshorn March 16, 2000 Continuing a Lenten series on prayer:  I have called my material surroundings a stage set. In this I can act. And you may well say "act". For what I call "myself" (for all practical, everyday purposes) is also a dramatic construction; memories, glimpses in the shavinglass, and snatches of the very fallible activity called "introspection", are the principal ingredients. Normally I call this construction "me"' and the stage set "the real world". Now the moment of prayer is for me -- or involves for me as its condition -- the awareness, the reawakened awareness, that this "real world" and "real self" are very far from being rock-bottom realities. I cannot, in the flesh, leave the stage, either to go behind the scenes or to take my seat in the pit; but I can remember that these regions exist. And I also remember that my apparent self -- this clown or hero or super -- under his grease-paint is a real person with an off-stage life. The dramatic person could not tread the stage unless he concealed a real person: unless the real and unknown I existed, I would not even make mistakes about the imagined me. And in prayer this real I struggles to speak, for once, from his real being, and to address, for once, not the other actors, but -- what shall I call Him? The Author, for He invented us all? The Producer, for He controls all? Or the Audience, for He watches, and will judge, the performance?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8496</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Higher fuel and energy prices have hit purchasing power, amid a high inflation rate. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37576]]></link><description><![CDATA[Higher fuel and energy prices have hit purchasing power, amid a high inflation rate.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37576</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[So long as all the increased wealth which modern progress brings, goes but to build up great fortunes, to increase ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48363]]></link><description><![CDATA[So long as all the increased wealth which modern progress brings, goes but to build up great fortunes, to increase luxury, and make sharper the contest between the House of Have and the House of Want, progress is not real and cannot be permanent.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48363</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Architecture is frozen music. [Ger., Die Backunst ist eine erstarrte Musik.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3021]]></link><description><![CDATA[Architecture is frozen music. [Ger., Die Backunst ist eine erstarrte Musik.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3021</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think they both are strong contenders especially with what they did this weekend. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42384]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think they both are strong contenders especially with what they did this weekend.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42384</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It makes no difference who you vote for - the two parties are really one party representing four percent of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60988]]></link><description><![CDATA[It makes no difference who you vote for - the two parties are really one party representing four percent of the people.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60988</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are sadistic scientists who hurry to hunt down errors instead of establishing the truth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65914]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are sadistic scientists who hurry to hunt down errors instead of establishing the truth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65914</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They were moving out of there pretty fast, ...
