To justify Christianity because it provides a foundation of morality, instead of showing the necessity of Christian morality from the truth of Christianity, is a very dangerous inversion; and we may reflect that a good deal of the attention of totalitarian states has been devoted with a steadfastness of purpose not always found in democracies, to providing their national life with a foundation of morality -- the wrong kind, perhaps, but a good deal more of it.

My gracious Master and my God,   Assist me to proclaim, To spread through all the earth abroad   The honours of thy name. Jesus! the name that charms our fears,   That bids our sorrows cease; 'Tis music in the sinner's ears,   'Tis life, and health, and peace. He breaks the power of cancelled sin,   He sets the prisoner free; His blood can make the foulest clean,   His blood availed for me. He speaks, and, listening to his voice,   New life the dead receive, The mournful, broken hearts rejoice,   The humble poor believe. Hear him, ye deaf; his praise, ye dumb,   Your loosened tongues employ; Ye blind, behold your Saviour come,   And leap, ye lame, for joy. Look unto him, ye nations, own   Your God, ye fallen race; Look, and be saved through faith alone,   Be justified by grace. See all your sins on Jesus laid:   The Lamb of God was slain, His soul was once an offering made   For every soul of man. Awake from guilty nature's sleep,   And Christ shall give you light, Cast all your sins into the deep,   And wash you purest white. With me, your chief, ye then shall know,   Shall feel your sins forgiven; Anticipate your heaven below,   And own that love is heaven.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6332</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nobody has any doubt that ETA wanted to attack before the general elections, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29322]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nobody has any doubt that ETA wanted to attack before the general elections,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29322</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you are all wrapped up in yourself, you are overdressed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52094]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you are all wrapped up in yourself, you are overdressed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52094</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The mark of the immature man is that he wants to die nobly for a cause, while the mark of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26583]]></link><description><![CDATA[The mark of the immature man is that he wants to die nobly for a cause, while the mark of the mature man is that he wants to live humbly for one.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26583</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The die was now cast; I had passed the Rubicon.
