This is a mercy for the Christian; for when does sin ever occur in the community that he must not examine and blame himself for his own unfaithfulness in prayer and intercession, his lack of brotherly service, of fraternal reproof and encouragement -- indeed, for his own personal sin and spiritual laxity, by which he has done injury to himself, the fellowship, and the brethren? Since every sin of a member burdens and indicts the whole community, the congregation rejoices, in the midst of all the pain and the burden that the brother's sin inflicts, that it has the privilege of bearing and forgiving.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8603</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The old Irish when immersing a babe at baptism left out the right arm so that it would remain pagan ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3602]]></link><description><![CDATA[The old Irish when immersing a babe at baptism left out the right arm so that it would remain pagan for good fighting]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3602</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What I conclude is that religion has nothing to do with experience or reason but with deep and irrational needs ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14660]]></link><description><![CDATA[What I conclude is that religion has nothing to do with experience or reason but with deep and irrational needs]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14660</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The editor sat in his sanctum, his countenance furrowed with care, His mind at the bottom of business, his feet ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23329]]></link><description><![CDATA[The editor sat in his sanctum, his countenance furrowed with care, His mind at the bottom of business, his feet at the top of a chair,  His chair-arm an elbow supporting, his right hand upholding his head,   His eyes on his dusty table, with different documents spread.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23329</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[So much promise stretches before us.

And when they are wicked, the Humanitarian theory of punishment will put in their hands a finer instrument of tyranny than wickedness ever had before. For if crime and disease are to be regarded as the same thing, it follows that any state of mind which our masters choose to call 'disease' can be treated as crime, and compulsorily cured. It will be vain to plead that states of mind which displease the government need not always involve moral turpitude and do not therefore always deserve forfeiture of liberty. For our masters will not be using the concepts of Desert and Punishment but those of disease and cure.
