If, just as we are, we would lay ourselves on the altar of service of Jesus Christ, there is no saying what Christ could do with us and through us. We may be sorry and embarrassed that we have not more to bring -- and rightly so; but that is not reason for failing or refusing to bring what we have and what we are.

Or recall the infinite pains that have been taken, down the centuries, to preserve minute orthodoxy in all points of mental belief while ugly evils flaunt along the streets and are accepted meekly as part of the makeup of things! Or recollect how easy it is to assume that we, ourselves, are Christian people. Why? Oh, well, just the usual reasons: we say our prayers, when we are not too sleepy; and we come to church, when there is nothing much to do; and so, of course, there is no doubt of it, although our tempers may remain uncurbed, and our characters are not the least like Jesus Christ's, nor growing any nearer it! Do we not need that solemn warning that Christ gives us when He tells us bluntly that many people lose their lives and souls, because they are always laying the emphasis and stress on the wrong points?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7814</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To exclude from positions of trust and command all those below the age of 44 would have kept Jefferson from ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1880]]></link><description><![CDATA[To exclude from positions of trust and command all those below the age of 44 would have kept Jefferson from writing the Declaration of Independence, Washington from commanding the Continental Army, Madison from fathering the Constitution, Hamilton from serving as secretary of the treasury, Clay from being elected speaker of the House and Christopher Columbus from discovering America.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1880</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I love night more than day--she is so lovely; But I love night the most because she brings  My ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44512]]></link><description><![CDATA[I love night more than day--she is so lovely; But I love night the most because she brings  My love to me in dreams which scarcely lie.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44512</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Here and there they are seen swimming in the vast flood. [Lat., Apparent rari nantes in gurgite vasto.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56198]]></link><description><![CDATA[Here and there they are seen swimming in the vast flood. [Lat., Apparent rari nantes in gurgite vasto.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56198</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Among men, sex sometimes results in intimacy; among women, intimacy sometimes results in sex ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55265]]></link><description><![CDATA[Among men, sex sometimes results in intimacy; among women, intimacy sometimes results in sex]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55265</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men who are resolved to find a way for themselves will always find opportunities enough; and if they do not ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45103]]></link><description><![CDATA[Men who are resolved to find a way for themselves will always find opportunities enough; and if they do not find them, they will make them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45103</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The 3 percent kicks in during year three.
