Vexed by an evil spirit, like the Gadarene swine and other critics. Obsession was once more common than it is now. Arasthus tells of a peasant who was occupied by a different devil for every day in the week, and on Sundays by two. They were frequently seen, always walking in his shadow, when he had one, but were finally driven away by the village notary, a holy man; but they took the peasant with them, for he vanished utterly. A devil thrown out of a woman by the Archbishop of Rheims ran through the trees, pursued by a hundred persons, until the open country was reached, where by a leap higher than a church spire he escaped into a bird. A chaplain in Cromwell's army exorcised a soldier's obsessing devil by throwing the soldier into the water, when the devil came to the surface. The soldier, unfortunately, did not.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44812</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is the one hundred and tenth anniversary of the birthday of Washington.

He was not indifferent to observances, but the practices of the people bulked in His thoughts before the practices of the Church. It has been pointed out as a blemish on the immortal allegory of Bunyan that the Pilgrim never did anything -- anything but save his soul. The remark is scarcely fair, for the allegory is designedly the story of a soul in a single relation; and, besides, he did do a little. But the warning may well be weighed. The Pilgrim's one thought, his work by day, his dream by night, was escape. He took little part in the world through which he passed. He was a Pilgrim travelling through it; his business was to get through safe. Whatever this is, it is not Christianity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8003</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men who ape the saint and play the sinner. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50468]]></link><description><![CDATA[Men who ape the saint and play the sinner.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50468</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Clare of Assisi, Founder of the Order of Minoresses (Poor Clares), 1253 Commemoration of John Henry Newman, Priest, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6981]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Clare of Assisi, Founder of the Order of Minoresses (Poor Clares), 1253 Commemoration of John Henry Newman, Priest, Teacher, Tractarian, 1890   In the first ages, [catechizing] was a work of long time; months, sometimes years, were devoted to the arduous task of disabusing the mind of the incipient Christian of its pagan errors, and of moulding it upon the Christian faith. The Scriptures indeed were at hand for the study of those who could avail themselves of them, but St. Iranaeus does not hesitate to speak of whole races who had been converted to Christianity, without being able to read them. To be unable to read or write was in those times no evidence of want of learning; the hermits of the deserts were, in one sense of the word, illiterate, yet the great St. Anthony, though he knew not letters, was a match in disputation for the learned philosophers who came to try him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6981</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I've trained harder, I'm better, I'm stronger, the blood of a champion runs through my veins, I've earned this opportunity, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40331]]></link><description><![CDATA[I've trained harder, I'm better, I'm stronger, the blood of a champion runs through my veins, I've earned this opportunity, I'll earn this victory, I've already won.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40331</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tis after death that we measure men. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11226]]></link><description><![CDATA[Tis after death that we measure men.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11226</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There would be no passion in this world if we never had to fight for what we love. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2080]]></link><description><![CDATA[There would be no passion in this world if we never had to fight for what we love.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2080</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[She rears her young on yonder tree; She leaves her faithful mate to mind 'em;  Like us, for fish ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18899]]></link><description><![CDATA[She rears her young on yonder tree; She leaves her faithful mate to mind 'em;  Like us, for fish she sails to sea,   And, plunging, shows us where to find 'em.    Yo, ho, my hearts! let's seek the deep,     Ply every oar, and cheerly with her,      While slow the bending net we sweep,       God bless the fish-hawk and the fisher.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18899</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Dan understands the dynamics of what goes on here in athletics.
