But once, in the heart of an angry crowd, their enthusiasm soured suddenly into a growling muttering. He applied it confidently to a man who, under the inspiration of His friendship, had broken with his sorry past and his old selfish, unclean ways, and was doing what he could to put things right. Now that, He said, is what I call a saved man. Very solemnly He tells us that on the Day of Judgement we shall not be asked the questions we are expecting, but others that will puzzle and startle us. Those folk on the left hand were, as far as we hear, respectable folk; their business books were straight, their home life was kindly, they themselves were clean-living men and women: nothing whatever is laid to their charge excepting this, that they lived in a world needing their help and were too absorbed in something -- what it was, we are not told; it may have been their souls -- to give what aid they could.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7405</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They knew the line was there.

Some followers of the Rev. R. J. Campbell, in their almost too fastidious spirituality, admit divine sinlessness, which they cannnot see even in their dreams. But they essentially deny human sin, which they can see in the street. The strongest saints and the strongest sceptics alike took positive evil as the starting-point of their argument. If it be true (as it certainly is) that a man can feel exquisite happiness in skinning a cat, then the religious philosopher can only draw one of two deductions. He must either deny the existence of God, as all atheists do; or he must deny the present union between God and Man, as all Christians do. The new theologians seem to think it a highly rationalistic solution to deny the cat.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6801</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The guilty one is not he who commits the sin, but the one who causes the darkness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11081]]></link><description><![CDATA[The guilty one is not he who commits the sin, but the one who causes the darkness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11081</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I hope that no American . . . will waste his franchise and throw away his vote by voting either ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61008]]></link><description><![CDATA[I hope that no American . . . will waste his franchise and throw away his vote by voting either for me or against me solely on account of my religious affiliation.
