It is rather to return to Christ not a figure of the imagination, but the Christ of the Scriptures and to listen to His voice in obedience, to discover afresh what is the Truth. All unpretentious Bible study, every effort to disseminate a true scriptural theology, and every earnest prayer is part of the task of promoting that unity which is truly Christian. We must not envisage Christian Unity as consisting of faroff and doubtful schemes, but as something very nigh which affects us all. If we are really to seek for Christian Unity, we must be prepared to pay the cost. For it must be based upon love, and love is always costly. It will never be attained until there is "far more humility, far more thought, far more self-sacrifice, and far more prayer, than there is at present." (Streeter) If we are right in the conclusion that such disunion as has been sinful in the history of the Church has been due to pride, selfassertion, and contempt for God's Word and commandment, then it follows that the way to the unity which God wills [is] through humility, love of the brethren, and obedience to the Divine Revelation. When Christians pray to be shown where they have been wrong, proud, complaisant, or censorious, and to be put right; when they meet for common counsel and study of the Word, in the spirit of obedience and prepared to subject their individual opinions to the guidance of the Spirit; where the strong are willing to foster and strengthen the weak; and where all are seeking the common good rather than their own sectional interests: then the pathway to unity will become plain, and God will grant His blessing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7840</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Old age means realizing you will never own all the dogs you wanted to ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13683]]></link><description><![CDATA[Old age means realizing you will never own all the dogs you wanted to]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13683</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[At that point, we'd stop recycling. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36400]]></link><description><![CDATA[At that point, we'd stop recycling.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36400</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Only an inventor knows how to borrow, and every man is or should be an inventor.   - Ralph ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23006]]></link><description><![CDATA[Only an inventor knows how to borrow, and every man is or should be an inventor.   - Ralph Waldo Emerson,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23006</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We should wage war not to win war, but to win peace. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60615]]></link><description><![CDATA[We should wage war not to win war, but to win peace.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60615</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hee that loves the tree, loves the branch. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49470]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hee that loves the tree, loves the branch.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49470</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fans don't boo nobodies. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57464]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fans don't boo nobodies.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57464</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When I look at the Hudson River, I can't help but feel overwhelmed by its beauty and responsible for its ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33179]]></link><description><![CDATA[When I look at the Hudson River, I can't help but feel overwhelmed by its beauty and responsible for its protection.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33179</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Visions for those too tired to sleep, These seeds cast a film over eyes which weep. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47688]]></link><description><![CDATA[Visions for those too tired to sleep, These seeds cast a film over eyes which weep.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47688</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Herb is the healing of a nation, alcohol is the destruction. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1991]]></link><description><![CDATA[Herb is the healing of a nation, alcohol is the destruction.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1991</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Allen Gardiner, founder of the South American Missionary Society, 1851 Commemoration of Albert Schweitzer, Teacher, Physician, Missionary, 1965 ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7282]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Allen Gardiner, founder of the South American Missionary Society, 1851 Commemoration of Albert Schweitzer, Teacher, Physician, Missionary, 1965   The renewal of our natures is a work of great importance. It is not to be done in a day. We have not only a new house to build up, but an old one to pull down.   ... George Whitefield, letter   [Thanks to Bill Blake at pilgrimwb@aol.com]  September 7, 2000 Commemoration of Douglas Downes, Founder of the Society of Saint Francis, 1957 There are three lessons I would write,  Three words, as with a burning pen, In tracings of eternal light,  Upon the hearts of men. Have Hope. Though clouds environ round,  And gladness hides her face in scorn,  Put off the shadow from thy brow:  No night but hath its morn. Have Faith. Where'er thy bark is driven -  The calm's disport, the tempest's mirth - Know this: God rules the hosts of heaven,  The inhabitants of earth. Have Love. Not love alone for one,  But man, as man, thy brother call;  And scatter, like a circling sun,  Thy charities on all.   ... Friedrich von Schiller  September 8, 2000   Temptations and occasions put nothing into a man, but only draw out what was in him before.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7282</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hail, Day of days! in peals of praise Throughout all ages owned,  When Christ, our God, hell's empire trod, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13142]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hail, Day of days! in peals of praise Throughout all ages owned,  When Christ, our God, hell's empire trod,   And high o'er heaven was throned.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13142</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If we plant a flower or a shrub and water it daily it will grow so tall that in time ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16280]]></link><description><![CDATA[If we plant a flower or a shrub and water it daily it will grow so tall that in time we shall need a spade and a hoe to uproot it.
