He was not indifferent to observances, but the practices of the people bulked in His thoughts before the practices of the Church. It has been pointed out as a blemish on the immortal allegory of Bunyan that the Pilgrim never did anything -- anything but save his soul. The remark is scarcely fair, for the allegory is designedly the story of a soul in a single relation; and, besides, he did do a little. But the warning may well be weighed. The Pilgrim's one thought, his work by day, his dream by night, was escape. He took little part in the world through which he passed. He was a Pilgrim travelling through it; his business was to get through safe. Whatever this is, it is not Christianity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8003</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As there is no worldly gain without some loss so there is no worldly loss without some gain. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26501]]></link><description><![CDATA[As there is no worldly gain without some loss so there is no worldly loss without some gain.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26501</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[With the arm which won the victory he protects the vanquished. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50813]]></link><description><![CDATA[With the arm which won the victory he protects the vanquished.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50813</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man is truly free, even here in this embodied state, if he knows that God is the true agent ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63872]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man is truly free, even here in this embodied state, if he knows that God is the true agent and he by himself is powerless to do anything.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63872</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Agnes, Child Martyr at Rome, 304  Most Christians are affected far more than they know by the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7601]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Agnes, Child Martyr at Rome, 304  Most Christians are affected far more than they know by the standards and methods of the surrounding world. In these days when power and size and speed are almost universally admired, it seems to me particularly important to study afresh the "weakness", the "smallness of entry", and the "slowness" of God as He begins His vast work of reconstructing His disordered world. We are all tempted to take short cuts, to work for quick results, and to evade painful sacrifice. It is therefore essential that we should look again at love incarnate in a human being, to see God Himself at work within the limitations of human personality, and to base our methods on what we see Him do.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7601</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Then I heard this young veteran on TV speaking about the war.
