It is astonishing how a commandment so simple and distinct, and how a duty which you would have imagined would be eagerly greeted by the impulse of gratitude, of affection, and of compassion, was forgotten for so long a time, in the churches of the Reformation especially. Now we are accustomed to hear of mission work among the heathen nations, and to find that a great multitude of people are interested in it, and regard it with respect; but it was only at the commencement of the last century, and with great difficulty, [that] the attention of the Church was roused to this important duty; and even in the... Church of Scotland there were a number of ministers who thought that the state of heathenism was so utterly corrupt, and that there was so much to be done in our own country, that it was altogether a Utopian project to think of converting the idolaters, and that it was not our imperative duty to trouble ourselves with their wretched condition.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7149</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Serve a noble disposition, though poore, the time comes that hee will repay thee. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49738]]></link><description><![CDATA[Serve a noble disposition, though poore, the time comes that hee will repay thee.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49738</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We had to either prevent or slow down their counters by keeping our front court active and making them play ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30492]]></link><description><![CDATA[We had to either prevent or slow down their counters by keeping our front court active and making them play defense.

Fully persuaded that the Bible was an imposture, they were determined to expose [it]. Mr. West chose the Resurrection of Christ, and Lord Lyttleton the conversion of St Paul, for the subject of hostile criticism. Both sat down to their respective tasks full of prejudice and a contempt for Christianity. The results of their separate endeavours was that they were both converted by their attempts to overthrow the truth of Christianity! They came together, not as they had expected, to exult over an imposture exposed to ridicule, but to lament their folly and congratulate each other on their joint conviction, that the Bible was the word of God. Their able enquiries have furnished two most valuable treatises in favour of revelation -- one, entitled "Observations on the Conversion of St Paul", and the other, "Observations on the Resurrection of Christ.".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6743</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The life of spies is to know, not bee known. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49886]]></link><description><![CDATA[The life of spies is to know, not bee known.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49886</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A Marchant that gaines not, looseth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49059]]></link><description><![CDATA[A Marchant that gaines not, looseth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49059</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Phillips Brooks, Bishop of Massachusetts, spiritual writer, 1893   The Bible is like a telescope.
