Some followers of the Rev. R. J. Campbell, in their almost too fastidious spirituality, admit divine sinlessness, which they cannnot see even in their dreams. But they essentially deny human sin, which they can see in the street. The strongest saints and the strongest sceptics alike took positive evil as the starting-point of their argument. If it be true (as it certainly is) that a man can feel exquisite happiness in skinning a cat, then the religious philosopher can only draw one of two deductions. He must either deny the existence of God, as all atheists do; or he must deny the present union between God and Man, as all Christians do. The new theologians seem to think it a highly rationalistic solution to deny the cat.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6801</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A desire can overcome all objections and obstacles. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22526]]></link><description><![CDATA[A desire can overcome all objections and obstacles.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22526</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9270]]></link><description><![CDATA[Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9270</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you're going to San Francisco, Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8754]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you're going to San Francisco, Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8754</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Gossip is what no one claims to like -- but everyone enjoys. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17894]]></link><description><![CDATA[Gossip is what no one claims to like -- but everyone enjoys.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17894</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Edmund of the East Angles, Martyr, 870 Commemoration of Priscilla Lydia Sellon, a Restorer of the Religious Life ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7357]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Edmund of the East Angles, Martyr, 870 Commemoration of Priscilla Lydia Sellon, a Restorer of the Religious Life in the Church of England, 1876   It is to be acknowledged that many passages in the Bible are abstruse, and not to be easily understood. Yet we are not to omit reading the abstruser texts, which have any appearance of relating to us; but should follow the example of the Blessed Virgin, who understood not several of our Saviour's sayings, but kept them all in her heart.
