You will see at once that this is an impossibility. From considering how the cruelty of our ancestors looks to us, you may get some inkling of how our softness, worldliness, and timidity would have looked to them, and hence how both must look to God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8513</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Bartolomè de las Casas, Apostle to the Indies, 1566  God hath work to do in this world; ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7417]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Bartolomè de las Casas, Apostle to the Indies, 1566  God hath work to do in this world; and to desert it because of its difficulties and entanglements, is to cast off His authority.

The Bible characterizes men in such a state as "lost", and as being "without hope in the world"... And let no one suppose that such a term as "lost" is merely a bit of conventional theological jargon. It stands for a terrible reality, a reality which modern man in his modern predicament knows only too well from his own bitter experience. It gives rise to the voices of despair which haunt our radios, our newspapers, our fiction and poetry, our stage and screen, our doctors' offices, our hospital wards, our grisly nightmare of atomic war, and the conversation of common people who no sooner meet than they begin to bemoan the fate that has overtaken the world.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7438</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2806]]></link><description><![CDATA[Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2806</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's hard to be nostalgic when you can't remember anything. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44642]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's hard to be nostalgic when you can't remember anything.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44642</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One must be frank to be relevant. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16624]]></link><description><![CDATA[One must be frank to be relevant.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16624</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of John Coleridge Patteson, First Bishop of Melanesia, & his Companions, Martyrs, 1871 For the power Thou hast given ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8171]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of John Coleridge Patteson, First Bishop of Melanesia, & his Companions, Martyrs, 1871 For the power Thou hast given me to lay hold of things unseen: For the strong sense I have that this is not my home: For my restless heart which nothing finite can satisfy:  I give Thee thanks, O God.
