The Notebooks of Florence Allshorn  August 26, 2000 Continuing a short series on the Bible:   Have you noticed this? Whatever need or trouble you are in, there is always something to help you in your Bible, if only you go on reading till you come to the word God specially has for you. I have noticed this often. Sometimes the special word is in the portion you would naturally read, or in the Psalm for the day, ... but you must go on till you find it, for it is always somewhere. You will know it the moment you come to it, for it will rest your heart.   ... Amy Carmichael, Edges of His Ways  August 27, 2000 Feast of Monica, Mother of Augustine of Hippo, 387 Concluding a short series on the Bible:   Christ is the master; the Scriptures are only the servant.   ... Martin Luther August 28, 2000 Feast of Augustine, Bishop of Hippo, Teacher, 430  Too late came I to love thee, O thou Beauty so ancient and so fresh, yea too late came I to love thee. And behold, thou wert within me, and I out of myself, where I made search for thee: I ugly rushed headlong upon those beautiful things thou hast made. Thou indeed wert with me; but I was not with thee: these beauties kept me far enough from thee: even those, which unless they were in thee, should not be at all.  ... St. Augustine, Confessions August 29, 2000 The Divine Perfections. How shall I praise th' eternal God,  That Infinite Unknown? Who can ascend his high abode,   Or venture near his throne? The great invisible! He dwells  Conceal'd in dazzling light: But his all-searching eye reveals  The secrets of the night. Those watchful eyes that never sleep,  Survey the world around; His wisdom is the boundless deep,  Where all our thoughts are drown'd.  He knows no shadow of a change,  Nor alters his decrees; Firm as a rock his truth remains,   To guard his promises.  Justice, upon a dreadful throne,  Maintains the rights of God; While mercy sends her pardons down,  Bought with a Saviour's blood. Now to my soul immortal King,   Speak some forgiving word; Then `twill be double joy to sing  The glories of my Lord.   ... Isaac Watts, Hymns and Spiritual Songs, Book II, #166  August 30, 2000  As for what the Church thinks and says, what influence does that have on the handling of American politics, the conduct of American education, the regulation of marriage and divorce, on sex and drink, on how industrial disputes are settled, on how we carry on business? As a plain matter of fact, religion in this country is generally regarded as a tolerated pastime for such people as happen to like to indulge in occasional godly exercises -- as a strictly private matter in an increasingly close-knit and socially acting society -- in other words, as something that does not count. I should like to see the Church recognize that it has been pushed into the realm of the non-essentials, and to persuade it to fight like fury for the right and the duty to bring every act of America and Americans before the bar of God's judgment. [Christian leaders] are making valiant claim to such a right and duty; but the great mass of Church members are content to regard the Church as a conglomerate of private culture clubs, nice for christenings, weddings and funerals. Most Church members readily agree with the unchurched majority that it is not the proper business of the Church to criticize America or Americans.  ... Bernard Iddings Bell, God is Not Dead August 31, 2000 Feast of Aidan, Bishop of Lindisfarne, Missionary, 651 Commemoration of Cuthburga, Founding Abbess of Wimborne, c.725 Commemoration of John Bunyan, Spiritual Writer, 1688   Christians are like the flowers in a garden, that have each of them the dew of Heaven, which, being shaken with the wind, they let fall at each other's roots, whereby they are jointly nourished, and become nourishers of each other.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7280</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Math is like love -- a simple idea but it can get complicated. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26519]]></link><description><![CDATA[Math is like love -- a simple idea but it can get complicated.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26519</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The male is a domestic animal which, if treated with firmness, can be trained to do most things. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27118]]></link><description><![CDATA[The male is a domestic animal which, if treated with firmness, can be trained to do most things.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27118</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Beautiful places, they were.

The shared life of the Christian community must become a context in which the differing gifts can be used for each other. There is much still to be learned about this. Are the homes of married Christians an added support for the single? Is the availability of the single Christian put at the disposal of his married friends, for "babysitting" duties and the like. And what is true of the mutual support of married and single needs to be true in a wider way of the care exercised by the married and the single for each other, so that nobody's home life becomes completely cut off from support and help.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6479</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I met a preacher there I knew, and said, Ill and overworked, how fare you in this scene?  Bravely! ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48066]]></link><description><![CDATA[I met a preacher there I knew, and said, Ill and overworked, how fare you in this scene?  Bravely! said he; for I of late have been   Much cheered with thoughts of Christ, the living bread.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48066</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Many hands make light work. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22118]]></link><description><![CDATA[Many hands make light work.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22118</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Keep doing some kind of work, that the devil may always find you employed. [Lat., Facito aliquid operis, ut semper ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62118]]></link><description><![CDATA[Keep doing some kind of work, that the devil may always find you employed. [Lat., Facito aliquid operis, ut semper te diabolus inveniat occupatum.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62118</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can never lose anything that really belongs to you, and you can't keep that which belongs to someone else. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64541]]></link><description><![CDATA[You can never lose anything that really belongs to you, and you can't keep that which belongs to someone else.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64541</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The average man does not get pleasure out of an idea because he thinks it is true; he thinks it ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46725]]></link><description><![CDATA[The average man does not get pleasure out of an idea because he thinks it is true; he thinks it is true because he gets pleasure out of it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46725</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It isn't enough for your heart to break because everybody's heart is broken now. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19054]]></link><description><![CDATA[It isn't enough for your heart to break because everybody's heart is broken now.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19054</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think it will be technically feasible to have a large-size OLED TV by Super Bowl 50. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40137]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think it will be technically feasible to have a large-size OLED TV by Super Bowl 50.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40137</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[None make a greater show of sorrow than those who are most delighted. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51666]]></link><description><![CDATA[None make a greater show of sorrow than those who are most delighted.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51666</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Finance is the art of passing currency from hand to hand until it finally disappears. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15675]]></link><description><![CDATA[Finance is the art of passing currency from hand to hand until it finally disappears.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15675</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All this, and Heaven too! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19097]]></link><description><![CDATA[All this, and Heaven too!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19097</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Shall I never see a bachelor of threescore again? -Much Ado about Nothing.
