Study the advertisements in any popular magazine: people are "invited to apply for membership"; "members will receive a catalogue"; they are even offered "rules", which they gladly accept because the need for authority lies heavily upon them; they then receive a card admitting them to the circle, with the "President's signature" printed on it. In the need for belonging, the acknowledgement of dependence, may lie the greatest opportunity of the Christian evangelist. It is not unlike the conditions under which the early Church worked. In the later Roman Empire, crumbling under its own size, its communications and resources stretched to the utmost, the mystery-religions came into their own. Rites of initiation, the sharing of secret knowledge, offered to people of all classes an escape from the perplexities of life, a retreat into a closed circle of the elect where they might feel that their transformed personalities had some significance. Who can know how many weary souls there were who strayed into the Church through rumours of a secret rite of purification, of a shared meal that conferred wisdom, and who remained to comprehend the fullness of the Godhead, a belonging greater than they had ever imagined.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6843</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[High prices may not be enough of an incentive for risky developments in conventional oil, let alone oil shale. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29515]]></link><description><![CDATA[High prices may not be enough of an incentive for risky developments in conventional oil, let alone oil shale.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29515</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All they had to do was look at what he did and look at what he achieved. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33893]]></link><description><![CDATA[All they had to do was look at what he did and look at what he achieved.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33893</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My goal as a Christian (is) to sound the alarm. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39569]]></link><description><![CDATA[My goal as a Christian (is) to sound the alarm.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39569</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I've never done this before.

But depend upon it, they do not by adding these words, or any words, bring it about that their prayers should be in the name of Christ. To pray in the name of Christ means to pray in such a way as represents Christ. The representative always must speak in the spirit and meaning of those for whom he speaks. If Christ is our representative, that must be because He speaks our wishes, or what we ought to make our wishes; and if we are to pray in the name of Christ, that means that we are, however far off, expressing His wishes and intentions.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8373</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Those who attain any excellence commonly spend life in one pursuit; for excellence is not often granted upon easier terms. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11648]]></link><description><![CDATA[Those who attain any excellence commonly spend life in one pursuit; for excellence is not often granted upon easier terms.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11648</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To be ignorant of what occurred before you were born is to remain always a child. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6022]]></link><description><![CDATA[To be ignorant of what occurred before you were born is to remain always a child.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6022</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I've been introducing them to adults for 30 years.
