Not only must we meditate upon these things here -- for this short exhortation sufficeth not to eradicate the evil -- but at home let the husband be reminded of them by the wife, and the wife by the husband, and let an emulation obtain in families to the fulfilment of the divine law.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6275</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The living need more charity than the dead ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35621]]></link><description><![CDATA[The living need more charity than the dead]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35621</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All government is a trust.
