Every principle of selection, every separation connected with it that is not necessitated quite objectively by common work, local conditions, or family connections is of the greatest danger to a Christian community. When the way of intellectual or spiritual selection is taken, the human element always insinuates itself and robs the fellowship of its spiritual power and its effectiveness for the Church, and drives it into sectarianism.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8602</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is faith among men that holds the moral elements of society together, as it is faith in God that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15038]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is faith among men that holds the moral elements of society together, as it is faith in God that binds the world to his throne.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15038</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No foreign sky protected me, no stranger's wing shielded my face.

But Man having induced death upon himself, God hath taken Man's Creature, death, into his hand, and mended it, and whereas it hath in itself a fearfull form and aspect, so that Man is afraid of his own Creature, God presents it to him, in a familiar, in an assiduous, in an agreeable and acceptable form, in sleep, that so when he awakes from sleep and says to himself, shall I be no otherwise when I am dead, than I was even now, when I was asleep, he may be ashamed of his waking dreams, and of his Melancholique fancying out a horrid and an affrightful figure of that death which is so like sleep. As then we need sleep to live out our threescore and ten years, so we need death, to live that life which we cannot out-live.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8181</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All right.
