Suppose three unexcused absences required that the individual's name be automatically dropped from the roll, and he could be reinstated only by special vote of the body. Suppose absences from services had to be made up by attending services in some other place, or by carrying out some special project. Suppose church members had to be re-elected to membership each year, and that their attendance and participation in the program of activities determined how the vote went. Oh, well -- just suppose.   ... from The Baptist Messenger  September 16, 2002 Feast of Cyprian, Bishop of Carthage, Martyr, 258 Commemoration of Ninian, Bishop of Galloway, Apostle to the Picts, c. 430 Commemoration of Edward Bouverie Pusey, Priest, tractarian, 1882   This seems a cheerful world, Donatus, when I view it from this fair garden, under the shadow of these vines. But if I climbed some great mountain and looked out over the wide lands, you know very well what I would see--brigands on the high roads, pirates on the seas; in the amphitheaters men murdered to please applauding crowds; under all roofs misery and selfishness. It is really a bad world, Donatus, an incredibly bad world. Yet in the midst of it I have found a quiet and holy people. They have discovered a joy which is a thousand times better than any pleasures of this sinful life. They are despised and persecuted, but they care not. They have overcome the world. These people, Donatus, are the Christians -- and I am one of them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6833</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I come not, friends, to steal away your hearts. I am no orator, as Brutus is,  But (as you ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45248]]></link><description><![CDATA[I come not, friends, to steal away your hearts. I am no orator, as Brutus is,  But (as you know me all) a plain blunt man   That love my friend; and that they know full well    That gave me public leave to speak of him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45248</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Degeneracy follows every autocratic system of violence, for violence inevitably attracts moral inferiors.

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. Little is always much in the hands of Christ.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7489</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When the hornet hangs in the holly hock, And the brown bee drones i' the rose,  And the west ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19612]]></link><description><![CDATA[When the hornet hangs in the holly hock, And the brown bee drones i' the rose,  And the west is a red-streaked four-o'clock,   And summer is near its close--    It's--Oh, for the gate, and the locust lane;     And dusk, and dew, and home again!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19612</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I started looking forward to this season after that game against Hilliard.
