Failure on this part should mean failure on the whole exam. It is absolutely disgraceful that we expect missionaries to the Bantus to learn Bantu, but never ask whether our missionaries to the Americans or English can speak American or English. Any fool can write learned language: the vernacular is the real test. If you can't turn your faith into it, then either you don't understand it or you don't believe it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8516</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are so many little dyings that it doesn't matter which of them is death. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11188]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are so many little dyings that it doesn't matter which of them is death.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11188</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I feel like Canada's punishment from the US is over.

He reaches out to foreigners who are beyond the borders of the "Israel of God". He seeks the release of captives, prisoners, and slaves. He denounces the scribes and religious leaders who "devour the houses of widows". Despite his well-known requirement of loyalty that surpasses family ties, he insists that a man put the care of his own parents ahead of his obligations to his religion. His treatment of women is radically opposed to the strictures of that day. He exhibits sympathy and understanding toward children. He operates an out-patient clinic wherever he happens to be. He insists upon justice as the basis for everyday dealings between citizens. The social teaching of parables like "the good Samaritan" and incidents such as the encounter with the rich young ruler have had an effect upon his followers that cannot easily be measured. If one summary statement of Jesus' ethics can be made, it is that love of God is best shown by love of fellow men.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6598</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Up here in the north country (areas with high levels of snow), we'd like to see 10 percent more deer, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32198]]></link><description><![CDATA[Up here in the north country (areas with high levels of snow), we'd like to see 10 percent more deer, in the middle snow fall zone we could have up to 50 percent more deer, and in southern areas where we have a lot of agriculture in the landscape, perhaps around 15 percent fewer deer.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32198</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[His frown was full of terror, and his voice Shook the delinquent with such fits of awe  As left ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15506]]></link><description><![CDATA[His frown was full of terror, and his voice Shook the delinquent with such fits of awe  As left him not, till penitence had won   Lost favor back again, and clos'd the breach.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15506</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I experience a period of frightening clarity in those moments when nature is so beautiful.
