It is rather to return to Christ not a figure of the imagination, but the Christ of the Scriptures and to listen to His voice in obedience, to discover afresh what is the Truth. All unpretentious Bible study, every effort to disseminate a true scriptural theology, and every earnest prayer is part of the task of promoting that unity which is truly Christian. We must not envisage Christian Unity as consisting of faroff and doubtful schemes, but as something very nigh which affects us all. If we are really to seek for Christian Unity, we must be prepared to pay the cost. For it must be based upon love, and love is always costly. It will never be attained until there is "far more humility, far more thought, far more self-sacrifice, and far more prayer, than there is at present." (Streeter) If we are right in the conclusion that such disunion as has been sinful in the history of the Church has been due to pride, selfassertion, and contempt for God's Word and commandment, then it follows that the way to the unity which God wills [is] through humility, love of the brethren, and obedience to the Divine Revelation. When Christians pray to be shown where they have been wrong, proud, complaisant, or censorious, and to be put right; when they meet for common counsel and study of the Word, in the spirit of obedience and prepared to subject their individual opinions to the guidance of the Spirit; where the strong are willing to foster and strengthen the weak; and where all are seeking the common good rather than their own sectional interests: then the pathway to unity will become plain, and God will grant His blessing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7840</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wealth is in applications of mind to nature; and the art of getting rich consists not in industry, much less ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61440]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wealth is in applications of mind to nature; and the art of getting rich consists not in industry, much less in saving, but in a better order, in timeliness, in being at the right spot.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61440</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They could bring the weapon today inside a cargo container that comes to one of our ports, and the technologies ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35958]]></link><description><![CDATA[They could bring the weapon today inside a cargo container that comes to one of our ports, and the technologies that we have deployed would have a low chance of finding it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35958</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When I woke up this morning my girlfriend asked me, 'Did you sleep good?'

There is something more true in his denunciation of idolatry as sin than in our denial that it is possible for a man to worship an idol, or in our suggestion that all idolatry is only a road to spiritual worship of the one true God... One day, I think, we shall return to these stern doctrines, realizing in them a truth more profound than we now know, and then we shall preach them with conviction, and, being convinced ourselves, we shall convince others.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7675</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Gross ignorance is 144 times worse than ordinary ignorance. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63791]]></link><description><![CDATA[Gross ignorance is 144 times worse than ordinary ignorance.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63791</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A malady Preys on my heart that med'cine cannot reach. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56239]]></link><description><![CDATA[A malady Preys on my heart that med'cine cannot reach.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56239</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the old world that is passing, in the new world that is coming, national efficiency has been and will ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13622]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the old world that is passing, in the new world that is coming, national efficiency has been and will be a controlling factor in national safety and welfare.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13622</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA['Tis a glorious charter, deny it who can, That's breathed in the words, "I'm an Englishman." ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13917]]></link><description><![CDATA['Tis a glorious charter, deny it who can, That's breathed in the words, "I'm an Englishman."]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13917</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We all die.
