Whose is it? The clue lies in Acts 12, where St. Peter, strangely freed from Herod's prison, knows at whose house they will be gathered for prayer. He knocks, startles the gate-girl Rhoda. It was "the house of Mary the mother of John whose surname was Mark" -- the young man who was to write the earliest of the gospels. The first meeting place of any Christian congregation was the home of a woman in Jerusalem. Something of the sort happens everywhere. The church in Caesarea centres upon Philip the Evangelist. "Now this man had four daughters, virgins, which did prophesy." ... Joppa church depends on Tabitha, "a woman full of good works and almsdeeds which she did". Follow St. Paul about the Mediterranean. He crosses to Europe because he dreams of a man from Macedonia who cries, "Come over and help us". But when he lands at Philippi it is not a man, but a woman. "Lydia was baptized and her household" -- his first convert in Europe, a woman. Everywhere women are the most notable of the converts, often the only ones who believe. In Thessalonica there are "of the chief women not a few"; Beroea, "Greek women of honourable estate"; Athens, only two names, one of them, Damaris, a woman. At Corinth Priscilla and Aquila come into the story, the pair always mentioned together, and four times out of the six with the wife's name first, a thing undreamed of in the first century. Why? Because she counted for more in church affairs -- hostess of the church in her houses in Corinth, Ephesus and Rome, chief instructress of Apollos the missionary, intimate of the greatest missionary of all, St. Paul. Six times in the Epistles greetings are sent to a house-church, and in five cases the church is linked with a woman's name.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6865</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You may have tangible wealth untold,Caskets of jewels and coffers of gold.Richer than I you could never be;I know someone ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22438]]></link><description><![CDATA[You may have tangible wealth untold,Caskets of jewels and coffers of gold.Richer than I you could never be;I know someone who told stories to me.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22438</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The drop hollows out the stone not by strength, but by constant falling. [Lat., Gutta cavat lapidem non vi, sed ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46163]]></link><description><![CDATA[The drop hollows out the stone not by strength, but by constant falling. [Lat., Gutta cavat lapidem non vi, sed saepe cadendo.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46163</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Know that the amount of criticism you receive may correlate somewhat to the amount of publicity you receive. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52517]]></link><description><![CDATA[Know that the amount of criticism you receive may correlate somewhat to the amount of publicity you receive.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52517</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never was anything so inconsistent. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50300]]></link><description><![CDATA[Never was anything so inconsistent.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50300</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I thought I had it.

He is nothing of the kind: he is simply a man who is sure of his foundation, and is convinced that the only way to any true advancement is spiritual, and is Christ; and therefore he persists, in spite of all appearances, in clinging to Christ as the only foundation, and in building all his hopes for the future on the acceptance of Christ. He is not content with attacks upon symptoms of evil; they seem to him superficial: he goes to the roots. He cannot be content with teaching men Christian principles of conduct, "Christian ideals of social life" -- still less with the establishment of colleges and clubs. Nothing but Christ Himself, faith in Christ, the obedience of Christ, seems to him equal to the need, and nothing else is his work but the establishment of that foundation. In doing this he is not showing indifference to social evils, he is not standing aloof from beneficent movements; he is actively engaged in laying the axe to the roots of the trees which bear the evil. That is not indifference.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7839</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Annuit coepis.
