The Notebooks of Florence Allshorn  August 26, 2000 Continuing a short series on the Bible:   Have you noticed this? Whatever need or trouble you are in, there is always something to help you in your Bible, if only you go on reading till you come to the word God specially has for you. I have noticed this often. Sometimes the special word is in the portion you would naturally read, or in the Psalm for the day, ... but you must go on till you find it, for it is always somewhere. You will know it the moment you come to it, for it will rest your heart.   ... Amy Carmichael, Edges of His Ways  August 27, 2000 Feast of Monica, Mother of Augustine of Hippo, 387 Concluding a short series on the Bible:   Christ is the master; the Scriptures are only the servant.   ... Martin Luther August 28, 2000 Feast of Augustine, Bishop of Hippo, Teacher, 430  Too late came I to love thee, O thou Beauty so ancient and so fresh, yea too late came I to love thee. And behold, thou wert within me, and I out of myself, where I made search for thee: I ugly rushed headlong upon those beautiful things thou hast made. Thou indeed wert with me; but I was not with thee: these beauties kept me far enough from thee: even those, which unless they were in thee, should not be at all.  ... St. Augustine, Confessions August 29, 2000 The Divine Perfections. How shall I praise th' eternal God,  That Infinite Unknown? Who can ascend his high abode,   Or venture near his throne? The great invisible! He dwells  Conceal'd in dazzling light: But his all-searching eye reveals  The secrets of the night. Those watchful eyes that never sleep,  Survey the world around; His wisdom is the boundless deep,  Where all our thoughts are drown'd.  He knows no shadow of a change,  Nor alters his decrees; Firm as a rock his truth remains,   To guard his promises.  Justice, upon a dreadful throne,  Maintains the rights of God; While mercy sends her pardons down,  Bought with a Saviour's blood. Now to my soul immortal King,   Speak some forgiving word; Then `twill be double joy to sing  The glories of my Lord.   ... Isaac Watts, Hymns and Spiritual Songs, Book II, #166  August 30, 2000  As for what the Church thinks and says, what influence does that have on the handling of American politics, the conduct of American education, the regulation of marriage and divorce, on sex and drink, on how industrial disputes are settled, on how we carry on business? As a plain matter of fact, religion in this country is generally regarded as a tolerated pastime for such people as happen to like to indulge in occasional godly exercises -- as a strictly private matter in an increasingly close-knit and socially acting society -- in other words, as something that does not count. I should like to see the Church recognize that it has been pushed into the realm of the non-essentials, and to persuade it to fight like fury for the right and the duty to bring every act of America and Americans before the bar of God's judgment. [Christian leaders] are making valiant claim to such a right and duty; but the great mass of Church members are content to regard the Church as a conglomerate of private culture clubs, nice for christenings, weddings and funerals. Most Church members readily agree with the unchurched majority that it is not the proper business of the Church to criticize America or Americans.  ... Bernard Iddings Bell, God is Not Dead August 31, 2000 Feast of Aidan, Bishop of Lindisfarne, Missionary, 651 Commemoration of Cuthburga, Founding Abbess of Wimborne, c.725 Commemoration of John Bunyan, Spiritual Writer, 1688   Christians are like the flowers in a garden, that have each of them the dew of Heaven, which, being shaken with the wind, they let fall at each other's roots, whereby they are jointly nourished, and become nourishers of each other.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7280</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Continuing a Lenten series on prayer:  The primary object of prayer is to know God better; we and our ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8496]]></link><description><![CDATA[Continuing a Lenten series on prayer:  The primary object of prayer is to know God better; we and our needs should come second.  ... The Notebooks of Florence Allshorn March 16, 2000 Continuing a Lenten series on prayer:  I have called my material surroundings a stage set. In this I can act. And you may well say "act". For what I call "myself" (for all practical, everyday purposes) is also a dramatic construction; memories, glimpses in the shavinglass, and snatches of the very fallible activity called "introspection", are the principal ingredients. Normally I call this construction "me"' and the stage set "the real world". Now the moment of prayer is for me -- or involves for me as its condition -- the awareness, the reawakened awareness, that this "real world" and "real self" are very far from being rock-bottom realities. I cannot, in the flesh, leave the stage, either to go behind the scenes or to take my seat in the pit; but I can remember that these regions exist. And I also remember that my apparent self -- this clown or hero or super -- under his grease-paint is a real person with an off-stage life. The dramatic person could not tread the stage unless he concealed a real person: unless the real and unknown I existed, I would not even make mistakes about the imagined me. And in prayer this real I struggles to speak, for once, from his real being, and to address, for once, not the other actors, but -- what shall I call Him? The Author, for He invented us all? The Producer, for He controls all? Or the Audience, for He watches, and will judge, the performance?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8496</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Individual commitment to a group effort - that is what makes a team work, a company work, a society work, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64430]]></link><description><![CDATA[Individual commitment to a group effort - that is what makes a team work, a company work, a society work, a civilization work.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64430</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[China has not only become a world major export country, but also an important import market ever since it adopted ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36622]]></link><description><![CDATA[China has not only become a world major export country, but also an important import market ever since it adopted the reform and opening-up policies in 1978.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36622</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no man, though never so little, but sometimes he can hurt. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49957]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no man, though never so little, but sometimes he can hurt.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49957</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As a poet and as a mathematician, he would reason well; as a mere mathematician, he could not have reasoned ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46836]]></link><description><![CDATA[As a poet and as a mathematician, he would reason well; as a mere mathematician, he could not have reasoned at all, and thus would have been at the mercy of the Prefect]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46836</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He just became a different kid. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38930]]></link><description><![CDATA[He just became a different kid.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38930</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the mythic schema of all relations between men and women, man proposes, and woman is disposed of. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53342]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the mythic schema of all relations between men and women, man proposes, and woman is disposed of.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53342</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A generation which ignores history has no past and no future. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17127]]></link><description><![CDATA[A generation which ignores history has no past and no future.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17127</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cultivators of the earth are the most valuable citizens.
