Its seers and prophets are not men of philosophic mind, who have risen from the seen to the unseen and, by dint of much reflection, have gradually attained to elevated conceptions of Him who is the Author of all that is. They are men of God whom God has chosen, that He might speak to them and, through them, to His people. Israel has not, in and by them, created for itself a God: God has, through them, created for Himself a people.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7795</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Learning is not compulsory.

He taught that God, as the great feudal superior of the universe, allotted to all earthly authorities their rule in fief as subject to Himself. The priesthood was not an office of dominion, but of service, and its prerogatives ceased when service was not rendered. Dominion was not granted to one person as God's Vicar on earth, but the King was as much God's Vicar as the Pope; nay, every Christian held his rights immediately of God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6754</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I saw two clouds at morning Tinged by the rising sun,  And in the dawn they floated on  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8903]]></link><description><![CDATA[I saw two clouds at morning Tinged by the rising sun,  And in the dawn they floated on   And mingled into one.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8903</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Barnabas the Apostle  It is obvious ... that there are many lay people who can counsel more ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7404]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Barnabas the Apostle  It is obvious ... that there are many lay people who can counsel more effectively than the minister can in such areas as adjusting to widowhood, coming to terms with advancing age, bringing principle to bear upon business decisions, because they have experience in these fields which the minister does not personally have. At the very least, they can add a note of reality to what the minister offers. In many cases, the group takes up where the individual counseling left off, supplementing it or even eliminating it entirely. I have been repeatedly thankful that a group was available to give steady guidance who had made a fresh start in Christian living, but who still had a long way to go; this has been especially true in cases of loneliness, moderate emotional instability, inability to understand others, and need of continued guidance in the use of prayer and the Bible and the accepting and giving of love. In the nature of the case, no amount of individual counseling can fully deal with these needs. The "priesthood of all believers" becomes a recognized fact, with each person helping to open up for his neighbor the way to God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7404</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The strength of criticism lies in the weakness of the thing criticized. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10763]]></link><description><![CDATA[The strength of criticism lies in the weakness of the thing criticized.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10763</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A buck of the first head. -Love's Labour 's Lost.
