In all right efforts for the future, religion must be given first place. No provision to secure peace or just social principles can be worth much unless the foremost aim be to establish the Kingdom of God. It is not the minds and bodies only of generations to come that have to be remembered, but their immortal souls.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7765</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In this world there is always danger for those who are afraid of it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11061]]></link><description><![CDATA[In this world there is always danger for those who are afraid of it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11061</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When we look out towards this love that moves the stars and stirs in the child's heart and claims our ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7789]]></link><description><![CDATA[When we look out towards this love that moves the stars and stirs in the child's heart and claims our total allegiance, and remember that this alone is Reality and we are only real so far as we conform to its demands, we see our human situation from a fresh angle; and we perceive that it is both more humble and dependent, and more splendid, than we had dreamed. We are surrounded and penetrated by great spiritual forces of which we hardly know anything. Yet the outward events of our life cannot be understood, except in their relation to that unseen and intensely living world, the Infinite Charity which penetrates and supports us, the God whom we resist and yet for whom we thirst; who is ever at work, transforming the self-centred desire of the natural creature into the wide spreading, outpouring love of the citizen of Heaven.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7789</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is commonly and truly also said: "Matters be ended as they be friended." ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13791]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is commonly and truly also said: "Matters be ended as they be friended."]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13791</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We've got a team.

It is here amongst the people, that the Church must worship and live its life. If it is faithful both to God and to its Gospel, it will be used to hold forth the Word of light to the conversion of those that see and hear. But if its light is hid, then wherewith shall the neighborhood be lighted?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7418</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Philip & James, Apostles  Here is opened to us the true reason of the whole process of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6965]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Philip & James, Apostles  Here is opened to us the true reason of the whole process of our Saviour's incarnation, passion, death, resurrection, and ascension into Heaven. It was because fallen man was to go through all these stages as necessary parts of his return to God; and therefore, if man was to go out of his fallen state there must be a son of this fallen man, who, as a head and fountain of the whole race, could do all this -- could go back through all these gates and so make it possible for all the individuals of human nature, as being born of Him, to inherit His conquering nature and follow Him through all these passages to eternal life. And thus we see, in the strongest and clearest light, both why and how the holy Jesus is become our great Redeemer.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6965</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can't drown yourself in drink.
