Thus his stay had not been long enough for him to do more than teach the fundamental truths which seemed to him of the first importance: all the circumstances of his visit were still fresh in his memory and he was recalling to the minds of his readers what he had taught them by word of mouth. Now in that Epistle we get an extraordinarily clear and coherent account of simple mission-preaching not only implied but definitely expressed. (Continued tomorrow).]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7978</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I can tell it all in song: pathos, gladness, love, joy, unhappiness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65353]]></link><description><![CDATA[I can tell it all in song: pathos, gladness, love, joy, unhappiness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65353</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The problem is that these institutions made it through the storm but the worst may be yet to come. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34143]]></link><description><![CDATA[The problem is that these institutions made it through the storm but the worst may be yet to come.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34143</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Chance is always powerful.

Well it is for the world that He was indeed a God of Battles. Well it is for us that He was to all the rest only a rival and a foe. In the ordinary way, it would have been only too easy for them to have achieved the desolate disaster of conceiving Him as a friend. It would have been only too easy for them to have seen Him stretching out His hands in love and reconciliation, embracing Baal and kissing the painted face of Astarte... It would have been easy enough for His worshipers to follow the enlightened course of Syncretism and the pooling of all the pagan traditions. It is obvious indeed that His followers were always sliding down this easy slope; and it required the almost demoniac energy of certain inspired demagogues, who testified to the divine unity in words that are still like winds of inspiration and ruin, [to stop them]. The more we really understand of the ancient conditions that contributed to the final culture of the Faith, the more we shall have a real and even a realistic reverence for the greatness of the Prophets of Israel. As it was, while the whole world melted into this mass of confused mythology, this Deity who is called tribal and narrow, precisely because He was what is called tribal and narrow, preserved the primary religion of all mankind. He was tribal enough to be universal. He was as narrow as the universe.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8135</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Delay is a great procuress ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11839]]></link><description><![CDATA[Delay is a great procuress]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11839</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Thomas à Kempis, priest, spiritual writer, 1471   It is no great matter to associate with the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6687]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Thomas à Kempis, priest, spiritual writer, 1471   It is no great matter to associate with the good and gentle; for this is a naturally pleasing to all, and everyone willingly enjoyeth peace, and loveth those best that agree with him. But to be able to live peaceably with hard and perverse persons, or with the disorderly, or with such as go contrary to us, is a great grace, and a most commendable thing.  ...
