What is the point and peak and heart and centre of it? Is it the offering we bring to God of praise and adoration, of thanksgiving and sacrifice, our praise, our sacrifice to Him? That has its place, not legitimate only, but imperative. And yet to put that in the foreground is to make the service fundamentally man-centered and subjective, which, face to face with God, is surely almost unthinkably unseemly. Or is the ideal we should hold before us that other extreme, so ardently pressed on us these days, that, face to face with the Lord God Almighty, High and Holy, it is for us to forget ourselves and -- leaving behind our petty little human joys and needs and sins and risings above thanksgiving and petition and confession -- to lose ourselves in an awed adoration of God's naked and essential being, blessing and praising Him, not even for what he has done for us, and been for us, but for what, in Himself, He is. To me, that seems not an advance, but a pathetic throw-back to the primitive of Brahmanism. We shall not learn to know God better, nor how to worship Him more worthily, by careful rubbing out from memory every wonder of Christ's revelation of Him.

We used to read the lives of the Saints together. And when I read of the martyrdoms which they suffered for the love of God, I used to think that they had bought their entry into God's presence very cheaply. Then I fervently longed to die like them, not out of any conscious love for Him, but in order to attain, as quickly as they had, those joys which, as I read, are laid up in Heaven. I used to discuss with my brother ways and means of becoming martyrs, and we agreed to go together to the land of the Moors, begging our way for the love of God, so that we might be beheaded there. I believe that our Lord had given us courage enough even at that tender age, if only we could have seen a way. But our parents seemed to us a very great hindrance.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7666</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There does a sable cloud Turn forth her silver lining on the night,  And casts a gleam over this ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8912]]></link><description><![CDATA[There does a sable cloud Turn forth her silver lining on the night,  And casts a gleam over this tufted grove.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8912</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fishing is a delusion entirely surrounded by liars in old clothes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16094]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fishing is a delusion entirely surrounded by liars in old clothes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16094</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The indispensable first step to getting the things you want out of life is this: decide what you want. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1217]]></link><description><![CDATA[The indispensable first step to getting the things you want out of life is this: decide what you want.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1217</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am not a has-been.
