If you have to do with one who is unquestionably a slanderer, do not excuse him by calling him frank and free-spoken; do not call one who is notoriously vain, liberal and elegant; do not call dangerous levities mere simplicity; do not screen disobedience under the name of zeal; or arrogance, of frankness; or evil intimacy, of friendship. No, my friends, we must never, in our wish to shun slander, foster or flatter vice in others: but we must call evil evil, and sin sin, and so doing we shall serve God's glory.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6909</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Brigid, Abbess of Kildare, c.525  We should not draw too sharp a distinction between this "barren land" ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6531]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Brigid, Abbess of Kildare, c.525  We should not draw too sharp a distinction between this "barren land" or "wilderness" of our pilgrimage, and the sweet home that God has prepared. We all know the changes and chances of this troublous life; but we can also know in this vale of tears the healthful spirit of His grace. Health for the whole man is God's gracious purpose for us here and now, often frustrated, often prevented by unbelief. The life of the saints in light must not emphasize for us simply the contrast between their state and ours, but rather the beginning of the gift of eternal life and all its benefits of inner strength and peace amid earthly vicissitudes. .]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6531</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Eternity forbids thee to forget. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14196]]></link><description><![CDATA[Eternity forbids thee to forget.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14196</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[NBC in Madison should have been more concerned.
