Such churches may invite and suffer temporary periods of unpopularity -- by standing up for West Indian immigrants, say, or refusing indiscriminate baptism. But on the whole, the storms are weathered by churches, and ministers, whose interest in the community and presentation of the faith [are] alert and genuine. Even so, the Church has every excuse for getting itself disliked: none at all for escaping notice.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6616</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I called the New World into existence to redress the balance of the Old. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2400]]></link><description><![CDATA[I called the New World into existence to redress the balance of the Old.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2400</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have some Jewish members of Congress, not a lot but there's a bunch of us. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35301]]></link><description><![CDATA[We have some Jewish members of Congress, not a lot but there's a bunch of us.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35301</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One of the greatest delusions in the world is the hope that the evils in this world are to be ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47178]]></link><description><![CDATA[One of the greatest delusions in the world is the hope that the evils in this world are to be cured by legislation.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47178</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm not into working out.
