Whose is it? The clue lies in Acts 12, where St. Peter, strangely freed from Herod's prison, knows at whose house they will be gathered for prayer. He knocks, startles the gate-girl Rhoda. It was "the house of Mary the mother of John whose surname was Mark" -- the young man who was to write the earliest of the gospels. The first meeting place of any Christian congregation was the home of a woman in Jerusalem. Something of the sort happens everywhere. The church in Caesarea centres upon Philip the Evangelist. "Now this man had four daughters, virgins, which did prophesy." ... Joppa church depends on Tabitha, "a woman full of good works and almsdeeds which she did". Follow St. Paul about the Mediterranean. He crosses to Europe because he dreams of a man from Macedonia who cries, "Come over and help us". But when he lands at Philippi it is not a man, but a woman. "Lydia was baptized and her household" -- his first convert in Europe, a woman. Everywhere women are the most notable of the converts, often the only ones who believe. In Thessalonica there are "of the chief women not a few"; Beroea, "Greek women of honourable estate"; Athens, only two names, one of them, Damaris, a woman. At Corinth Priscilla and Aquila come into the story, the pair always mentioned together, and four times out of the six with the wife's name first, a thing undreamed of in the first century. Why? Because she counted for more in church affairs -- hostess of the church in her houses in Corinth, Ephesus and Rome, chief instructress of Apollos the missionary, intimate of the greatest missionary of all, St. Paul. Six times in the Epistles greetings are sent to a house-church, and in five cases the church is linked with a woman's name.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6865</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Modesty in woman is a virtue most deserving, since we do all we can to cure her of it ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42893]]></link><description><![CDATA[Modesty in woman is a virtue most deserving, since we do all we can to cure her of it]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42893</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have resumed natural gas supply from the field on Wednesday at 4:15 p.m. to the national grid. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30572]]></link><description><![CDATA[We have resumed natural gas supply from the field on Wednesday at 4:15 p.m. to the national grid.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30572</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Government "help" to business is just as disastrous as government persecution... the only way a government can be of service ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48472]]></link><description><![CDATA[Government "help" to business is just as disastrous as government persecution... the only way a government can be of service to national prosperity is by keeping its hands off.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48472</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is possible to give without loving, but it is impossible to love without giving. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17499]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is possible to give without loving, but it is impossible to love without giving.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17499</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Few things in the world are more powerful than a positive push.

All we can do is believe or disbelieve; to give it in our life the place of the final reality to which everything else must give way, or to refuse it that place. Many people ... would like to talk the Word of God over. It raises in their minds various questions they would willingly discuss. It has aspects of interest and of difficulty which call for consideration; and so on. Perhaps there are some that confusedly shield themselves against the responsibilities of faith and unbelief by such thoughts. All that such thoughts prove, however, is that those who cherish them have never yet realized that what we are dealing with in the Gospel is GOD. When God speaks in Christ, He reveals His gracious will without qualification. And without qualification, we have to believe in it, or refuse to believe, and so decide the controversy between ourselves and Him. God has not come into the world in Christ ... to be talked about, but to become the supreme reality on the life of men, or to be excluded from that place.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8024</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have marked A thousand blushing apparitions  To start into her face, a thousand innocent shames   In ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4390]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have marked A thousand blushing apparitions  To start into her face, a thousand innocent shames   In angel whiteness beat away those blushes,    And in her eye there hath appeared a fire     To burn the errors that these princes hold      Against her maiden truth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4390</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who establishes his argument by noise and command shows that his reason is weak. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3078]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who establishes his argument by noise and command shows that his reason is weak.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3078</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Be of the same mind one toward another.
