It is here ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7479]]></link><description><![CDATA[Continued from yesterday:  The result of all this is that the Christian is a free man. It is here to be observed that the term "freedom" is ambiguous in common usage. It is sometimes used to imply that a man can do just as he likes, undetermined by any external force. To this the determinist replies that as a matter of fact this freedom is so limited by the laws which condition man's empirical existence as to be illusory. The rejoinder from the advocates of free will is that no external force can determine a man's moral conduct (and with mere automatism we are not concerned), unless it is presented in consciousness, and that in being so presented it becomes a desire, a temptation, or a motive. In suffering himself to be determined by these, the man is not submitting to external control, but to something which he has already made a part of himself, for good or ill. When, however, we have said that, we are faced with a further problem. Not all that is desired is desirable, and in being moved by my immediate desire I may be balking myself of that ultimate satisfaction which is the real object of all effort. If that is so, then to "do as I like" may well be no freedom at all. There is a law of our being which forbids satisfaction to be found along that line, as it is written, "He gave them their desire, and sent leanness into their souls." (Ps. 106:15) (Continued tomorrow).]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7479</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We wanted to make things happen.

It is the grateful, faithful, fruitful use of what we have, little or much. It is to take the cup of Providence, and call upon the name of the Lord. What the cup contains is its contents. To get all that is in the cup is the act and art of contentment. Not to drink because one has but half a cup, or because one does not like its flavor, or because somebody else has silver to one's own glass, is to lose the contents; and that is the penalty, if not the meaning, of discontent. No one is discontented who employs and enjoys to the utmost what he has. It is high philosophy to say, we can have just what we like if we like what we have; but this much at least can be done, and this is contentment: to have the most and best in life by making the most and best of what we have.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7524</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How can we accept another to keep our secret if we have been unable to keep it ourselves. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55014]]></link><description><![CDATA[How can we accept another to keep our secret if we have been unable to keep it ourselves.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55014</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Here's a health to you and yours who have done such things for us and ours. And when we and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59405]]></link><description><![CDATA[Here's a health to you and yours who have done such things for us and ours. And when we and ours have it in our powers to do for you and yours what you and yours have done for us and ours,  Then we and ours will do for you and yours what you and yours have done for us and ours.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59405</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Idleness is the only refuge of weak minds, and the holiday of fools ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20326]]></link><description><![CDATA[Idleness is the only refuge of weak minds, and the holiday of fools]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20326</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If moisture gets in under the glass (covering), it can completely ruin the painting.
