I hope I am not wrong in saying that there is nothing Christian in such an attitude. It savours of the Paganism that saw behind the world a kind of ironical malice; that made Polycrates throw his ring into the sea, and called the Furies the Kindly Ones, if haply they might be so appeased.   But we stand outside this world of darkness, for we have learnt that all things were created by the eternal Word, who is Christ Jesus. We know, in the Pauline phrase, that it is in Him that the whole universal order of things consists or holds together. Those who have come to know that, know in consequence that they are in their Father's house. It is a big house, and they have begun to explore only a little of it. It has great reaches, and some of them are still shadowy. But it is His house, all of it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6868</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There's a bunch of coffee cups out, and coffee made. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41001]]></link><description><![CDATA[There's a bunch of coffee cups out, and coffee made.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41001</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An inordinate passion for pleasure is the secret of remaining young ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62524]]></link><description><![CDATA[An inordinate passion for pleasure is the secret of remaining young]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62524</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Alphege, Archbishop of Canterbury, Martyr, 1012  The Son of God suffered unto the death, not that men ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8082]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Alphege, Archbishop of Canterbury, Martyr, 1012  The Son of God suffered unto the death, not that men might not suffer, but that their sufferings might be like His.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8082</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He that thinks amiss, concludes worse. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49404]]></link><description><![CDATA[He that thinks amiss, concludes worse.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49404</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[History shows that there are no invincible armies. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66635]]></link><description><![CDATA[History shows that there are no invincible armies.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66635</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're just trying to piece together the last few days, hours of this woman's life.

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[As for types like my own, obscurely motivated by the conviction that our existence was worthless if we didn't make ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3328]]></link><description><![CDATA[As for types like my own, obscurely motivated by the conviction that our existence was worthless if we didn't make a turning point of it, we were assigned to the humanities, to poetry, philosophy, painting -- the nursery games of humankind, which had to be left behind when the age of science began.
