And this often in all sincerity. But, at other times, we are not really much disturbed about it; or, at least, not nearly so much as our heaped-up language would imply. What we imagine that we are achieving through this unreality I do not know. We shall not fool the All-wise; nor induce Him to believe that we are anything other, or better, than we actually are! Were it not saner to tell Him the truth, exactly as it is -- not that we are overwhelmed with sorrow for our sinfulness, if it is not so; but rather this, that, to all our other sinfulness, we have added this last and crowning sinfulness, that we are not much worried about it, or, at least, not nearly as much as we ought to be. Be pleased, in pity, to grant us such measure of sorrow for our failures as will lead us to a true repentance; and, through that, to a new way of life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8001</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Stephen, Deacon, First Martyr  O little town of Bethlehem,   How still we see thee lie! ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7557]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Stephen, Deacon, First Martyr  O little town of Bethlehem,   How still we see thee lie! Above thy deep and dreamless sleep   The silent stars go by: Yet in thy dark streets shineth   The everlasting Light; The hopes and fears of all the years   Are met in thee tonight. For Christ is born of Mary;   And gathered all above, While mortals sleep, the angels keep   Their watch of wondering love. O morning stars together   Proclaim the holy birth; And praises sing to God the King,   And peace to men on earth. How silently, how silently,   The wondrous gift is giv'n! So God imparts to human hearts   The blessings of His Heav'n. No ear may hear His coming,   But in this world of sin, Where meek souls will receive Him still,   The dear Christ enters in. O holy Child of Bethlehem,   Descend to us, we pray, Cast out our sins, and enter in,   Be born in us today. We hear the Christmas angels   The great glad tidings tell; O come to us, abide with us,   Our Lord Emmanuel.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7557</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As hard as modern man strives to be free he is a slave chained to the past. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47579]]></link><description><![CDATA[As hard as modern man strives to be free he is a slave chained to the past.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47579</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Contemplating this blighted and sinister career, the lesson is burnt in upon the conscience, that since Judas by transgression fell, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6892]]></link><description><![CDATA[Contemplating this blighted and sinister career, the lesson is burnt in upon the conscience, that since Judas by transgression fell, no place in the Church of Christ can render any man secure. And since, falling, he was openly exposed, none may flatter himself that the cause of Christ is bound up with his reputation, that the mischief must needs be averted which his downfall would entail, that Providence must needs avert from him the natural penalties for evil-doing. Though one was as the signet upon the Lord's hand, yet was he plucked thence. There is no security for any soul except where love and trust repose, upon the bosom of Christ. Now if this be true, and if sin and scandal may conceivably penetrate even the inmost circle of the chosen, how great an error it is to break, because of these offenses, the unity of the Church, and institute some new communion, purer far than the Churches of Corinth and Galatia, which were not abandoned but reformed, and more impenetrable to corruption than the little group of those who ate and drank with Jesus.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6892</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is a familiar beast to man, and signifies love. -The Merry Wives of Windsor.
