Study the advertisements in any popular magazine: people are "invited to apply for membership"; "members will receive a catalogue"; they are even offered "rules", which they gladly accept because the need for authority lies heavily upon them; they then receive a card admitting them to the circle, with the "President's signature" printed on it. In the need for belonging, the acknowledgement of dependence, may lie the greatest opportunity of the Christian evangelist. It is not unlike the conditions under which the early Church worked. In the later Roman Empire, crumbling under its own size, its communications and resources stretched to the utmost, the mystery-religions came into their own. Rites of initiation, the sharing of secret knowledge, offered to people of all classes an escape from the perplexities of life, a retreat into a closed circle of the elect where they might feel that their transformed personalities had some significance. Who can know how many weary souls there were who strayed into the Church through rumours of a secret rite of purification, of a shared meal that conferred wisdom, and who remained to comprehend the fullness of the Godhead, a belonging greater than they had ever imagined.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6843</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All paid jobs absorb and degrade the mind. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23281]]></link><description><![CDATA[All paid jobs absorb and degrade the mind.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23281</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The root of all superstition is that men observe when a thing hits, but not when it misses. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58347]]></link><description><![CDATA[The root of all superstition is that men observe when a thing hits, but not when it misses.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58347</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is always good to win the first match of the series, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41967]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is always good to win the first match of the series,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41967</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is courage in a man: to bear unflinchingly what heaven sends. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10342]]></link><description><![CDATA[This is courage in a man: to bear unflinchingly what heaven sends.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10342</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Father of rosy day, No more thy clouds of incense rise;  But waking flow'rs,   At morning hours, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58292]]></link><description><![CDATA[Father of rosy day, No more thy clouds of incense rise;  But waking flow'rs,   At morning hours,    Give out their sweets to meet thee in the skies.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58292</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But even if Koizumi loses, the chances are very small that Japan will change its structural reform policies. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39860]]></link><description><![CDATA[But even if Koizumi loses, the chances are very small that Japan will change its structural reform policies.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39860</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Guilt is always jealous. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18495]]></link><description><![CDATA[Guilt is always jealous.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18495</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Language was invented to ask questions.
