And we have seen how rapidly they develop their own forms, their own structures of thought, of language, and of organisation. It would surely be a very unbiblical view of human nature and history to think -- as we so often, in our pagan way, do -- that this is just an example of the tendency of all things to slide down from a golden age to an age of iron, to identify the spiritual with the disembodied, and to regard visible structure as equivalent to sin. We must rather recognise here a testimony to the fact that Christianity is, in its very heart and essence, not a disembodied spirituality, but life in a visible fellowship, a life which makes such total claim upon us, and so engages our total powers, that nothing less than the closest and most binding association of men with one another can serve its purpose.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6944</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Where is the man who has the power and skill To stem the torrent of a woman's will?  For ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61913]]></link><description><![CDATA[Where is the man who has the power and skill To stem the torrent of a woman's will?  For if she will, she will, you may depend on't;   And if she won't, she won't; so there's an end on't.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61913</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The game is difficult, expensive and requires an extensive time commitment.
