It would assuredly make a difference if Christians, in their approach one to another, realized that, in spite of appearances, they were in fact one. If, in their seeking after external reunion, they realized that they were seeking not to create a unity which does not yet exist, but to find an expression for a unity which does exist, which is indeed the one elemental reality, they would approach one another in a better frame of mind. The common recognition of the principle would in itself be a unifying force of great value, and would dispose those who shared it to approach questions of difference in a spirit of unity which would immensely assist their deliberations.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7476</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All days are nights to see till I see thee, And nights bright days when dreams do show thee to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/160]]></link><description><![CDATA[All days are nights to see till I see thee, And nights bright days when dreams do show thee to me.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/160</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Learning is not compulsory but neither is survival. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1233]]></link><description><![CDATA[Learning is not compulsory but neither is survival.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1233</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Bureaucrats are the only people in the world who can say absolutely nothing and mean it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4991]]></link><description><![CDATA[Bureaucrats are the only people in the world who can say absolutely nothing and mean it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4991</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Relegating women to second-class citizenship was abolished when Jesus died on the cross. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65110]]></link><description><![CDATA[Relegating women to second-class citizenship was abolished when Jesus died on the cross.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65110</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But with what incessant and grievous ills is old age surrounded! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50434]]></link><description><![CDATA[But with what incessant and grievous ills is old age surrounded!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50434</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Beginning a short series on sin:  Sin is nothing else than that the creature willeth otherwise than God willeth, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7146]]></link><description><![CDATA[Beginning a short series on sin:  Sin is nothing else than that the creature willeth otherwise than God willeth, and contrary to Him.  ...
