And when they are wicked, the Humanitarian theory of punishment will put in their hands a finer instrument of tyranny than wickedness ever had before. For if crime and disease are to be regarded as the same thing, it follows that any state of mind which our masters choose to call 'disease' can be treated as crime, and compulsorily cured. It will be vain to plead that states of mind which displease the government need not always involve moral turpitude and do not therefore always deserve forfeiture of liberty. For our masters will not be using the concepts of Desert and Punishment but those of disease and cure.

I plucked the thorn and offered it to Thee, And for my thorn Thou gavest love and peace,  Not joy this mortal morn:  If Thou hast given much treasure for a thorn, Wilt Thou not give me for my rose increase Of gladness, and all sweets to me?

Now there is something in our natural selves that may well make us wary of such a contact. The man who in his heart intends to go on being selfish or proud, or who has already decided how far his Christian convictions should carry him, is probably obeying a sound instinct when he keeps away from this glorious but perilous Sacrament. For, if the truth be told, men are often willing to put their trust in a god who in the end must be triumphant, simply because they want to be on the winning side; but they are not nearly so ready to bear any part of the cost of that winning. Yet the fellowship of the broken bread and the poured-out wine can mean no less than that.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7615</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our wretched species is so made that those who walk on the well-trodden path always throw stones at those who ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9737]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our wretched species is so made that those who walk on the well-trodden path always throw stones at those who are showing a new road.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9737</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA['Twas sung, how they were lovely in their lives, And in their deaths had not divided been. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16764]]></link><description><![CDATA['Twas sung, how they were lovely in their lives, And in their deaths had not divided been.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16764</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Leadership is action, not position. -Donald H.
