The mind of our generation, having little comprehension or taste for such a message, is usually content to try to discover "the Jesus of history", conceived as a human example and teacher of a distant past. Meanwhile, there exists always alongside all forms of religious belief the great tradition of mystical experience. The mystic knows that, whatever be the truth about an historic act or person, there is a Spirit dwelling in man. In our time, even natural science abates its arrogant denials and admits the possibility of such immanence... The weak point of mysticism, as seen at least by a matter-of-fact person, is that it is apt to be so nebulous ethically. What the Immanent is, those who claim most traffic with It can often least tell us. Is It a power making for righteousness, or is It a higher synthesis of good and evil? Or is It not a moral -- that is to say, not a personal Being at all?... The raising of these questions is not intended to throw any doubt upon the validity of mystical experience as such; but we have a right to ask what content is given in the experience. Paul was a mystic, but all his mystical experience had a personal object. It was Jesus Christ, a real, living person --historic, yet not of the past alone; divine, yet not alien from humanity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7501</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A bit of fragrance clings to the hand that gives flowers. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62814]]></link><description><![CDATA[A bit of fragrance clings to the hand that gives flowers.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62814</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can milk a cow the wrong way once and still be a farmer, but vote the wrong way on ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60992]]></link><description><![CDATA[You can milk a cow the wrong way once and still be a farmer, but vote the wrong way on a water tower and you can be in trouble.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60992</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[His confidence shall be rooted out of his tabernacle, and it shall bring him to the king of terrors. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12135]]></link><description><![CDATA[His confidence shall be rooted out of his tabernacle, and it shall bring him to the king of terrors.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12135</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is a sin to believe in the evil of others, but it is seldom a mistake. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14312]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is a sin to believe in the evil of others, but it is seldom a mistake.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14312</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Not everybody trusts paintings but people believe photographs. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46574]]></link><description><![CDATA[Not everybody trusts paintings but people believe photographs.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46574</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He that can heroically endure adversity will bear prosperity with equal greatest of the soul; for the mind that cannot ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/872]]></link><description><![CDATA[He that can heroically endure adversity will bear prosperity with equal greatest of the soul; for the mind that cannot be dejected by the former is not likely to be transported without the latter.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/872</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The public must be put in its place, so that it may exercise its own powers, but no less and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47408]]></link><description><![CDATA[The public must be put in its place, so that it may exercise its own powers, but no less and perhaps even more, so that each of us may live free of the trampling and the roar of a bewildered herd.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47408</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There goes the parson, oh illustrious spark! And there, scarce less illustrious, goes the clerk. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48074]]></link><description><![CDATA[There goes the parson, oh illustrious spark! And there, scarce less illustrious, goes the clerk.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48074</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What hath God wrought? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54858]]></link><description><![CDATA[What hath God wrought?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54858</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's become synonymous with mainstream rock and pop music lovers who perceive it as the most audience-friendly festival. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33105]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's become synonymous with mainstream rock and pop music lovers who perceive it as the most audience-friendly festival.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33105</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of James Hannington, Bishop of Eastern Equatorial Africa, Martyr in Uganda, 1885  We come to Jesus Christ: and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7843]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of James Hannington, Bishop of Eastern Equatorial Africa, Martyr in Uganda, 1885  We come to Jesus Christ: and He does for us what He promised; and the thing works out. To our amazement, it works out. And then we settle down. We have had our own first-hand and irrefutable experience. But, instead of opening the windows to the glory of the sunshine so evidently there, instead of being incited to a hugeness of faith by what Christ has already done for us, we can't believe that there can be anything more, or that even He can work, for us, anything better. That first foretaste satisfies us. And so we camp for life out on the confines of the Kingdom, and never press on to inherit what is there and meant for us.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7843</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An ambassador is an honest man sent to lie abroad for the commonwealth. [Lat., Legatus est vir bonus peregre missus ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57858]]></link><description><![CDATA[An ambassador is an honest man sent to lie abroad for the commonwealth. [Lat., Legatus est vir bonus peregre missus ad mentiendem rei publicae causae.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57858</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They have tried at all times to create doubts about the democratic legitimacy of a president who has been elected. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30102]]></link><description><![CDATA[They have tried at all times to create doubts about the democratic legitimacy of a president who has been elected.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30102</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I've got a lot of confidence coming in, and now let's see what we can do with it.
