But cleansing his feathers as often as he would, he could not change their color, while through want of food he perished. Change of habit cannot alter Nature.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1540</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Dry bread at home is better then rost meate abroad. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49205]]></link><description><![CDATA[Dry bread at home is better then rost meate abroad.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49205</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They talk about the f------ mob; at least we've got principles! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36308]]></link><description><![CDATA[They talk about the f------ mob; at least we've got principles!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36308</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One life is all we have and we live it as we believe in living it.

This is testimony, the apostolic testimony, and this, with the energy of love, is the missionary motive. The insistent task of missionary education and responsibility is to engender this motive throughout the Church, a task that can only be accomplished as men are confronted anew with the message of the Bible and with its supreme and central story, the story of the cross.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7710</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Allen Gardiner, founder of the South American Missionary Society, 1851 Commemoration of Albert Schweitzer, Teacher, Physician, Missionary, 1965 ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7744]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Allen Gardiner, founder of the South American Missionary Society, 1851 Commemoration of Albert Schweitzer, Teacher, Physician, Missionary, 1965  In this Body of Christ, Paul sees "the ecclesia of God". Ecclesia is a Greek word with a splendid history. It was used in the old free commonwealths of Greece for the general assembly of all free citizens, by which their common life was governed. When political liberty went, the name still survived in the restricted municipal self-government which the Roman State allowed. It was taken over by the brotherhoods and guilds which in some measure superseded the old political associations. Among the Jews who spoke Greek, this word seemed the appropriate one to describe the commonwealth of Israel as ruled by God -- the historical Theocracy. Our translation of it is "Church". That word, however, has undergone such transformations of meaning that it is often doubtful in what sense it is being used. Perhaps for ecclesia we may use the word -- simpler, more general, and certainly nearest to its original meaning -- "commonwealth".
