It lay in the relationship he held with God. We know the familiar idea of Jesus' oneness with God: only we deal with it too much as a doctrine of the Church, not as an element in Jesus' own experience. If we never find it in reality, in life, we cannot reveal the true Christ-like character at all -- we will always be trying earnestly to be something, but on too superficial and obvious a plane.  ... The Notebooks of Florence Allshorn June 28, 1996 Feast of Irenêus, Bishop of Lyons, Teacher, Martyr, c.200  The Church exists, and does not depend for its existence upon our definition of it: it exists wherever God in His sovereign freedom calls it into being by calling his own into the fellowship of His Son. And it exists solely by His mercy. God shuts up and will shut up every way except the way of faith which simply accepts His mercy as mercy. To that end, He is free to break off unbelieving branches, to graft in wild slips, and to call "No people" His people. And if, at the end, those who have preserved through all the centuries the visible "marks" of the Church find themselves at the same board with some strange and uncouth late-comers on the ecclesiastical scene, may we not fancy that they will hear Him say -- would it not be so like him to say -- "It is my will to give unto these last even as unto thee"? Final judgement belongs to God, and we have to beware of judging before the time. I think that if we refuse fellowship in Christ to any body of men and women who accept Jesus as Lord and show the fruits of His Spirit in their corporate life, we do so at our peril. It behooves us, therefore, to receive one another as Christ has received us.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6898</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Take a little rum The less you take the better  Pour it in the lakes   Of Wener ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26688]]></link><description><![CDATA[Take a little rum The less you take the better  Pour it in the lakes   Of Wener or of Wetter.    Dip a spoonful out     And mind you don't get groggy,      Pour it in the lake       Of Winnipissiogie.        Stir the mixture well         Lest it prove inferior,          Then put half a drop           Into Lake Superior.            Every other day             Take a drop in water,              You'll be better soon               Or at least you oughter.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26688</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All commend patience, but none can endure to suffer. - Gnomologia, 1732. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22145]]></link><description><![CDATA[All commend patience, but none can endure to suffer. - Gnomologia, 1732.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22145</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man can fail many times, but he isn't a failure until he begins to blame somebody else. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4289]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man can fail many times, but he isn't a failure until he begins to blame somebody else.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4289</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Basically, I'm for anything that gets you through the night - be it prayer, tranquilizers or a bottle of Jack ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13008]]></link><description><![CDATA[Basically, I'm for anything that gets you through the night - be it prayer, tranquilizers or a bottle of Jack Daniels.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13008</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In general, mankind, since the improvement of cookery, eats twice as much as nature requires. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17592]]></link><description><![CDATA[In general, mankind, since the improvement of cookery, eats twice as much as nature requires.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17592</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ye field flowers! the gardens eclipse you 'tis true: Yet wildings of nature, I dote upon you,  For ye ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16258]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ye field flowers! the gardens eclipse you 'tis true: Yet wildings of nature, I dote upon you,  For ye waft me to summers of old,   When the earth teem'd around me with fairy delight,    And when daisies and buttercups gladden'd my sight,     Like treasures of silver and gold.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16258</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We were about six inches from being up 14-7 on a fade route.
