"I do not envy those who have to fight the battle of Christianity in the twentieth century," wrote Marcus Dods. "Yes, perhaps I do; but it will be a stiff fight." Of course, he did, and anybody with his valiant spirit would. There was a day when our Lord passed through cheering streets wildly enthusiastic; and another day when He watched the crowds deserting Him, till even the disciples themselves seemed to be withering, and He looked at them sadly. "Will you also go away?" He said. And Peter strode across the sudden empty spaces widening around Him, and put his back to Christ's. "No", he cried; "there are two of us, at least", and faced the world, Christ's poor minority of one. I would rather have been Peter than one of the shouting mob. And today, perhaps, we may get our chance of that.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7500</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Metaphysics is the finding of bad reasons for what we believe upon instinct; but to find these reasons is no ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22839]]></link><description><![CDATA[Metaphysics is the finding of bad reasons for what we believe upon instinct; but to find these reasons is no less an instinct.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22839</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is characteristic of all movements and crusades that the psychopathic element rises to the top. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52076]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is characteristic of all movements and crusades that the psychopathic element rises to the top.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52076</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They don't have nights like that often.

Ecclesia is a Greek word with a splendid history. It was used in the old free commonwealths of Greece for the general assembly of all free citizens, by which their common life was governed. When political liberty went, the name still survived in the restricted municipal self-government which the Roman State allowed. It was taken over by the brotherhoods and guilds which in some measure superseded the old political associations. Among the Jews who spoke Greek, this word seemed the appropriate one to describe the commonwealth of Israel as ruled by God -- the historical Theocracy. Our translation of it is "Church". That word, however, has undergone such transformations of meaning that it is often doubtful in what sense it is being used. Perhaps for ecclesia we may use the word -- simpler, more general, and certainly nearest to its original meaning -- "commonwealth".

The truth is hardly less the loser because the inquisitor has altered his methods. All of us who seek to explore the wide reaches of God's revelation, and strive to bring the thinking of others under the domination of Christ, do well to seek first to bring our own rhetorical techniques under that same dominion -- under the discipline, that is, of love.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6851</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's like giving birth to a kindergartener, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40182]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's like giving birth to a kindergartener,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40182</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Scratch a dog and you'll find a permanent job. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12694]]></link><description><![CDATA[Scratch a dog and you'll find a permanent job.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12694</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is the NHL's repair year.
