For God reigns in the hearts of His servants; there is His Kingdom. The power of grace hath subdued all His enemies; there is His power. They serve Him night and day, and give Him thanks and praise; that is His glory. This is the religion and worship of God in the temple. [Continued tomorrow]  ...Jeremy Taylor, Holy Living    October 11, 1997  Commemoration of Ethelburga, Abbess of Barking, 675  The temple itself is the heart of man, Christ is the high priest, who from thence sends up the incense of prayers, and joins them to His own intercession and presents all together to His Father; and the Holy Ghost by His dwelling there hath also consecrated it into a temple; and God dwells in our hearts by faith, and Christ by His Spirit, and the spirit by His purities: so that we are also cabinets of the mysterious Trinity, and what is this short of heaven itself, but as infancy is short of manhood?... The same state of life it is, but not the same age. It is heaven in a looking glass, dark but yet true, representing the beauties of the soul, and the grace of God, and the images of His eternal glory, by the reality of a special presence.  ...Jeremy Taylor, Holy Living    October 12, 1997  Commemoration of Wilfrid, Abbot of Ripon, Bishop of York, Missionary, 709 Commemoration of Elizabeth Fry, Prison Reformer, 1845  If God reveal anything to you by any other instrument of His, be as ready to receive it as ever you were to receive any truth by my ministry: for I am verily persuaded, the Lord has more truth yet to break forth out of His holy Word.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6500</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Oh, it's a good bird. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33736]]></link><description><![CDATA[Oh, it's a good bird.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33736</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ideas are everywhere, but knowledge is rare. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52161]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ideas are everywhere, but knowledge is rare.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52161</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In show business, you get chewed up and spit out. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38611]]></link><description><![CDATA[In show business, you get chewed up and spit out.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38611</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA['Tis hard to be wretched, but worse to be knowne so. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49988]]></link><description><![CDATA['Tis hard to be wretched, but worse to be knowne so.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49988</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For the principle of majority rule is the mildest form in which the force of numbers can be exercised.
