Vexed by an evil spirit, like the Gadarene swine and other critics. Obsession was once more common than it is now. Arasthus tells of a peasant who was occupied by a different devil for every day in the week, and on Sundays by two.

But the little mark on the soul may be much the same in both. Each has done something to himself which, unless he repents, will make it harder for him to keep out of the rage the next time he is tempted, and will make the rage worse when he does fall into it. Each of them, if he seriously turns to God, can have that twist in the central man straightened out again: each is, in the long run, doomed if he will not.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8554</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Forgive your enemies, but never forget their names ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13836]]></link><description><![CDATA[Forgive your enemies, but never forget their names]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13836</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no advancement to him who stands trembling because he cannot see the end from the beginning. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48375]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no advancement to him who stands trembling because he cannot see the end from the beginning.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48375</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This has been a big thrill not only for our boys, but for the families.
