Frederick Ward Kates  September 2, 2000 Commemoration of Martyrs of Papua New Guinea, 1942   The apostles were moved, not so much by an intellectual apprehension, as by a spiritual illumination. They met men, and the need of those men whom they met cried aloud to them. Their own desire for the revelation of the glory of Jesus in the salvation of men went out towards those whom they met, and was immediately answered by the recognition of the need of those whom they met for Jesus Christ.   ... Roland Allen, Pentecost and the World  ... Also see comments on this book in Bookworms September 3, 2000 Feast of Gregory the Great, Bishop of Rome, Teacher, 604   The task is not, in essence, the securing of uniformity, or cooperation, or Church reunion, or any of the external forms, through which nevertheless the unity may be manifested. Within the wide bounds of the Christian Church there is abundant scope for the multiplicity of races, languages, and social conditions; room also for separate organizations with different traditions of faith and order, and much diversity of operation. But there is no room for strife or hostility, for pride or selfassertion, for exclusiveness or unkind judgments, nor for that kind of independence which leads men to ignore their fellowship with the great company of believers, the communion of saints. These things are contrary to the revealed will of God, and should be made at once to cease. As these disappear, the outward manifestation of unity will come in such ways as the Spirit of God shall guide.   ... G. T. Manley, Christian Unity  September 4, 2000 Commemoration of Birinus, Bishop of Dorchester (Oxon), Apostle of Wessex, 650   If all you have found [in Christianity] is advantage, whether it is fun or profit or security, then you haven't started following Him yet. His way is the way of the Cross. The world can be very hard on those it hates. If it is not hard on you, perhaps it sees nothing in you to hate. But then it doesn't see Jesus in you, for it hates Jesus with an undying hatred. While your way is still all fun, all easy, all jolly, it is only your way: when you turn from it to follow His way, it will cost. It may cost you everything you have. That is what it cost Him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7281</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Timothy and Titus, Companions of Paul Commemoration of Dorothy Kerin, Founder of the Burrswood Healing Community, 1963  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6940]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Timothy and Titus, Companions of Paul Commemoration of Dorothy Kerin, Founder of the Burrswood Healing Community, 1963  Social enthusiasms have such power today, they raise people so effectively to the supreme degree of heroism in suffering and death, that I think it is as well that a few sheep should remain outside the fold in order to bear witness that the love of Christ is essentially something different.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6940</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Death will have his day. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51505]]></link><description><![CDATA[Death will have his day.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51505</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The greatest test of courage on earth is to bear defeat without losing heart. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10334]]></link><description><![CDATA[The greatest test of courage on earth is to bear defeat without losing heart.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10334</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For Catholics before Vatican II, the land of the free was pre-eminently the land of Sister Says-except, of course, for ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5302]]></link><description><![CDATA[For Catholics before Vatican II, the land of the free was pre-eminently the land of Sister Says-except, of course, for Sister, for whom it was the land of Father Says.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5302</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We've been told that we probably will not be able to get home. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40061]]></link><description><![CDATA[We've been told that we probably will not be able to get home.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40061</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The first step in the evolution of ethics is a sense of solidarity with other human beings. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63713]]></link><description><![CDATA[The first step in the evolution of ethics is a sense of solidarity with other human beings.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63713</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you are planning for a year, sow rice; if you are planning for a decade, plant trees; if you ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51886]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you are planning for a year, sow rice; if you are planning for a decade, plant trees; if you are planning for a lifetime, educate people.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51886</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And I did wonder - because it's now three years ago since I left prison - whether there would come ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37721]]></link><description><![CDATA[And I did wonder - because it's now three years ago since I left prison - whether there would come a time when I would forget it, or it would be in the past as anything else might be - no, it's there every day of my life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37721</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The difference between sex and death is that with death you can do it alone and no one is going ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60238]]></link><description><![CDATA[The difference between sex and death is that with death you can do it alone and no one is going to make fun of you.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60238</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Most people would rather die than think: many do. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11225]]></link><description><![CDATA[Most people would rather die than think: many do.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11225</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I grew up in the West, grew up on the land, was educated as a geologist.
