He may hold it a long time, or a short time, but it is then that he must strike it or never.

When the church finds its members falling into gross and scandalous sins, then it is time for the church to awake and cry to God for a Revival of Religion. When such things are taking place as give enemies of religion an occasion for reproach, it is time for the church to ask God, "What will become of Thy great name?"  5. When there is a spirit of controversy in the church or in the land, a revival is needful. The spirit of religion is not the spirit of controversy. There can be no prosperity in religion, where the spirit of controversy prevails.  6. When the wicked triumph over the church, and revile them, it is time to seek for a Revival of Religion.  7. When sinners are careless and stupid, and sinking into hell unconcerned, it is time the church should bestir themselves. It is as much the duty of the church to awake, as it is for the firemen to awake when a fire breaks out in the night in a great city. The church ought to put out the fires of hell which are laying hold of the wicked. Sleep! Should the firemen sleep, and let the whole city burn down, what would be thought of such firemen? And yet their guilt would not compare with the guilt of Christians who sleep while sinners around them are sinking stupid into the fires of hell.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7692</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One of the lessons of history is that 'nothing' is often a good thing to do and always a clever ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19508]]></link><description><![CDATA[One of the lessons of history is that 'nothing' is often a good thing to do and always a clever thing to say.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19508</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Both countries are convinced they're going to meet their future financing needs on the domestic markets. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34541]]></link><description><![CDATA[Both countries are convinced they're going to meet their future financing needs on the domestic markets.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34541</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To reach a great height a person needs to have great depth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1459]]></link><description><![CDATA[To reach a great height a person needs to have great depth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1459</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is the mind that maketh good of ill, that maketh wretch or happy,rich or poor. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21306]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is the mind that maketh good of ill, that maketh wretch or happy,rich or poor.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21306</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing is terrible except fear itself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21215]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing is terrible except fear itself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21215</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are events which are so great that if a writer has participated in them his obligation is to write ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14275]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are events which are so great that if a writer has participated in them his obligation is to write truly rather than assume the presumption of altering them with invention.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14275</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our greatest glory is not in never falling but in rising every time we fall. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66834]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our greatest glory is not in never falling but in rising every time we fall.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66834</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The fair, the chaste, and unexpressive she. -As You Like It.
