When the church finds its members falling into gross and scandalous sins, then it is time for the church to awake and cry to God for a Revival of Religion. When such things are taking place as give enemies of religion an occasion for reproach, it is time for the church to ask God, "What will become of Thy great name?"  5. When there is a spirit of controversy in the church or in the land, a revival is needful. The spirit of religion is not the spirit of controversy. There can be no prosperity in religion, where the spirit of controversy prevails.  6. When the wicked triumph over the church, and revile them, it is time to seek for a Revival of Religion.  7. When sinners are careless and stupid, and sinking into hell unconcerned, it is time the church should bestir themselves. It is as much the duty of the church to awake, as it is for the firemen to awake when a fire breaks out in the night in a great city. The church ought to put out the fires of hell which are laying hold of the wicked. Sleep! Should the firemen sleep, and let the whole city burn down, what would be thought of such firemen? And yet their guilt would not compare with the guilt of Christians who sleep while sinners around them are sinking stupid into the fires of hell.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7692</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Perfection is the child of time. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64826]]></link><description><![CDATA[Perfection is the child of time.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64826</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Judge your success by what you had to give up in order to get it ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23471]]></link><description><![CDATA[Judge your success by what you had to give up in order to get it]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23471</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In nothing do men more nearly approach the gods than in giving health to men. [Lat., Homines ad deos nulla ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18916]]></link><description><![CDATA[In nothing do men more nearly approach the gods than in giving health to men. [Lat., Homines ad deos nulla re propius accedunt quam salutem hominibus dando.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18916</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We'll try to wipe this one away as quickly as possible.

It does not always ask words, but it always wants work. The motives and not the means are the things on which it passes judgment. And the man who shows by his life that he is not ashamed of the Gospel will assuredly one day find that the Gospel is not ashamed of him. There is much more which might be said, but I refrain. Ere I close, you will let me add my emphasis to the fact that it is in our life and conduct that we must show our devotion to Christ. The silent Gospel reaches further than the grandest rhetoric.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8263</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end: and much study is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4535]]></link><description><![CDATA[And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end: and much study is a weariness of the flesh.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4535</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I believe the best social program is a job. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65994]]></link><description><![CDATA[I believe the best social program is a job.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65994</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A holy day, after all, is a day for considering everything you otherwise think too little about.rn ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64332]]></link><description><![CDATA[A holy day, after all, is a day for considering everything you otherwise think too little about.rn]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64332</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Career is too pompous a word.
