The time came when the Church had ceased to grow, except externally in wealth, power, and prestige; and these are mere outward adornments, or hampering burdens, very likely. They do not imply growth or creativeness. The time came when dogmatism, tyranny, and ignorance strangled the free intellectual activity of the Church, and worldliness destroyed its moral fruitfulness. Then joy spread her wings and flew away. The Christian graces care nothing for names and labels; where the Spirit of the Lord is, there they abide, but not in great Churches that have forgotten Him. How little of joy there is in the character of the religious bigot or fanatic, or in the prudent ecclesiastical statesman! A show of cheerfulness they may cultivate, as they often do; but it is like the crackling of thorns under a pot: we cannot mistake it for the joy of the Lord which is the strength of the true Christian.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8262</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Being born in a duck yard does not matter, if only you are hatched from a swan's egg. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36285]]></link><description><![CDATA[Being born in a duck yard does not matter, if only you are hatched from a swan's egg.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36285</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This business will never hold water. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5024]]></link><description><![CDATA[This business will never hold water.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5024</guid></item></channel></rss>
