He is free to move from place to place, from job to job, from acquaintance to acquaintance, and -- if he has attained a high degree of emancipation -- from wife to wife. He is in every context a more and more anonymous and replaceable part, the perfect incarnation of the rationalist conception of man. Wherever western civilization has spread in the past one hundred years, it has carried this atomizing process with it. Its characteristic product in Calcutta, Shanghai, or Johannesburg, is the modern city into which myriads of human beings, loosened from their old ties in village or tribe or caste, like grains of sand fretted by water from an ancient block of sandstone, are ceaselessly churned around in the whirlpool of the city -- anonymous, identical, replaceable units. In such a situation, it is natural that men should long for some sort of real community, for men cannot be human without it. It is especially natural that Christians should reach out after that part of Christian doctrine which speaks of the true, God-given community, the Church of Jesus Christ. We have witnessed the appalling results of trying to go back to some sort of primitive collectivity based on the total control of the individual, down to the depths of his spirit, by an all-powerful group. Yet we know that we cannot condemn this solution to the problem of man's loneliness if we have no other to offer. It is natural that men should ask with a greater eagerness than ever before, such questions as these: "Is there in truth a family of God on earth to which I can belong, a place where all men can be truly at home? If so, where is it to be found, what are its marks, and how is it related to, and dis tinguished from, the known communities of family, nation, and culture? What are its boundaries, its structure, its terms of membership? And how comes it that those who claim to be the spokesmen of that one holy fellowship are themselves at war with one another as to the fundamentals of its nature, and unable to agree to live together in unity and concord?" The breakdown of Christendom has forced such questions as these to the front. I think that there is no more urgent theological task than to try to give them plain and credible answers.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7045</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Write without pay until somebody offers to pay ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62413]]></link><description><![CDATA[Write without pay until somebody offers to pay]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62413</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't know the full story but we'll be in touch with him as soon as possible.

All we can have by ourselves is a club or a debating society; and our only hope, left to ourselves, is to win as many members for our own club and away from other clubs as we can. And whatever this is, it is not Mission. Mission belongs to God. The Mission was His from the beginning; it is His; it will always be His. He has His purposes from the foundation of the world, and the means to fulfill them; and the only part the Church has in this is obedience -- a share in the eternal and life-giving obedience of the Son of God... And the most terrible judgment on the Church comes when God leaves us to our own devices because He is tired of waiting for our obedience -- leaves us to be the domestic chaplains to a comfortable secular world -- and goes Himself into the wilderness of human need and injustice and pain. This judgment does come on churches and nations, when they forget that God is in command, that He does the choosing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7139</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Always keep a song in your heart - it's like karaoke for the voices in your head ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57201]]></link><description><![CDATA[Always keep a song in your heart - it's like karaoke for the voices in your head]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57201</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We can sometimes love what we do not understand, but it is impossible completely to understand what we do not ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64141]]></link><description><![CDATA[We can sometimes love what we do not understand, but it is impossible completely to understand what we do not love.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64141</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The original is unfaithful to the translation. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10601]]></link><description><![CDATA[The original is unfaithful to the translation.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10601</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But here more slow, where all are slaves to gold, Where looks are merchandise, and smiles are sold. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4903]]></link><description><![CDATA[But here more slow, where all are slaves to gold, Where looks are merchandise, and smiles are sold.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4903</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs even though checkered by failure than to take ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54289]]></link><description><![CDATA[Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs even though checkered by failure than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much because they live in the grey twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54289</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I always turn to the sports page first.
