He is free to move from place to place, from job to job, from acquaintance to acquaintance, and -- if he has attained a high degree of emancipation -- from wife to wife. He is in every context a more and more anonymous and replaceable part, the perfect incarnation of the rationalist conception of man. Wherever western civilization has spread in the past one hundred years, it has carried this atomizing process with it. Its characteristic product in Calcutta, Shanghai, or Johannesburg, is the modern city into which myriads of human beings, loosened from their old ties in village or tribe or caste, like grains of sand fretted by water from an ancient block of sandstone, are ceaselessly churned around in the whirlpool of the city -- anonymous, identical, replaceable units. In such a situation, it is natural that men should long for some sort of real community, for men cannot be human without it. It is especially natural that Christians should reach out after that part of Christian doctrine which speaks of the true, God-given community, the Church of Jesus Christ. We have witnessed the appalling results of trying to go back to some sort of primitive collectivity based on the total control of the individual, down to the depths of his spirit, by an all-powerful group. Yet we know that we cannot condemn this solution to the problem of man's loneliness if we have no other to offer. It is natural that men should ask with a greater eagerness than ever before, such questions as these: "Is there in truth a family of God on earth to which I can belong, a place where all men can be truly at home? If so, where is it to be found, what are its marks, and how is it related to, and dis tinguished from, the known communities of family, nation, and culture? What are its boundaries, its structure, its terms of membership? And how comes it that those who claim to be the spokesmen of that one holy fellowship are themselves at war with one another as to the fundamentals of its nature, and unable to agree to live together in unity and concord?" The breakdown of Christendom has forced such questions as these to the front. I think that there is no more urgent theological task than to try to give them plain and credible answers.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7045</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To put the world in order, we must first put the nation in order; to put the nation in order, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45260]]></link><description><![CDATA[To put the world in order, we must first put the nation in order; to put the nation in order, we must put the family in order; to put the family in order, we must cultivate our personal life; and to cultivate our personal life, we must first set our hearts right.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45260</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A mountaine and a river are good neighbours. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49062]]></link><description><![CDATA[A mountaine and a river are good neighbours.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49062</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The harder I work, the luckier I get. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63291]]></link><description><![CDATA[The harder I work, the luckier I get.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63291</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Happy is the man to whom nature has given a sufficiency with even a sparing hand. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50235]]></link><description><![CDATA[Happy is the man to whom nature has given a sufficiency with even a sparing hand.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50235</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life itself is the proper binge. -Julia Child. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24881]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life itself is the proper binge. -Julia Child.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24881</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every recreant who proved his timidity in the hour of danger, was afterwards boldest in words and tongue. [Lat., Ignavissimus ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10506]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every recreant who proved his timidity in the hour of danger, was afterwards boldest in words and tongue. [Lat., Ignavissimus quisque, et ut res docuit, in periculo non ausurus, nimis verbis et lingua feroces.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10506</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Infidelity in woman is a masculine trait ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20805]]></link><description><![CDATA[Infidelity in woman is a masculine trait]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20805</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are not the same persons this year as last; nor are those we love.

Why, would the same not be possible to a good will? Yes, indeed, and even much more so. Surely, I can do all things with the will. I can bear the sorrow of all men and feed all the poor and do the work of all men and whatever else you may think of. If it be not the will that fails you, but only the power, then truly, before God, you have done it all, and no man can take it from you or even hinder you for a moment; for to will to do as soon as I can is the same before God as having done it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8408</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm not trying to prove anybody wrong, I'm just trying to prove something to myself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2284]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'm not trying to prove anybody wrong, I'm just trying to prove something to myself.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2284</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He was such a dear little cock-tailed pup. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12647]]></link><description><![CDATA[He was such a dear little cock-tailed pup.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12647</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Trust not those cunning waters of his eyes, For villany is not without such rheum. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51350]]></link><description><![CDATA[Trust not those cunning waters of his eyes, For villany is not without such rheum.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51350</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A rolling stone gathers no moss, but it gains a certain polish. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66865]]></link><description><![CDATA[A rolling stone gathers no moss, but it gains a certain polish.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66865</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was road rage.

For mysticism in the strict sense exists only where one soars above the sphere of history, and where in place of the Mediator and the historical event are put the inner word of God, the inner motions of the soul, in order to reach immediacy between soul and God, and, in the end, the identity of both. But while it is necessary to safeguard the Christian message of the Holy Spirit from the mystical misunderstanding by calling attention to its relation to Jesus Christ, it is necessary on the other hand to safeguard the message of Jesus Christ and His work from the orthodox and rationalist misunderstanding by emphasizing that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord but by the Holy Spirit.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6265</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is possible to store the mind with a million facts and still be entirely uneducated. -Alec Bourne. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13556]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is possible to store the mind with a million facts and still be entirely uneducated. -Alec Bourne.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13556</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mere facts are for children only.
