The complete professionalization of a priestly ministry largely eliminated laymen from direct evangelism and robbed them of the missionary spirit, since they were not to be trusted to teach and could not validly administer the saving symbols. The reliance on organization and ceremonial grace, along with the growing concept of the representative relation of the Pope on earth to the Christ in heaven, involved a practical ignoring of the Holy Spirit as the divinely ordained Counterpart of the Christ and the informing soul of the Church... The vast territorial extent of Christianity and the very general ignorance of world geography made it possible for Christians to lose sight of the non-Christian world and to feel, even if somewhat vaguely, that the Christian task was complete, so far as its world occupation was concerned. The Mohammedan growth had encircled the Christian territories. The relations between Christendom and the Mohammedan world fostered anything else than a spirit of helpfulness and a disposition to give the blessings of the one to the other. Christian information about the heathen world was largely cut off by... Mohammedanism; and in order to reach the heathen, missionaries would have to make their way through Mohammedan territory.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6790</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You lived too long, we have supped full with heroes, they waste their deaths on us. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19249]]></link><description><![CDATA[You lived too long, we have supped full with heroes, they waste their deaths on us.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19249</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Rainbows apologize for angry skies. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43885]]></link><description><![CDATA[Rainbows apologize for angry skies.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43885</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cellar Roots has great potential.

And now I bear it and it is light unto me, because so hast Thou promised, and hast made it; and verily it was so, and I knew it not, when I feared to take it.  ... The Confessions of St. Augustine    October 10, 1999  Feast of Paulinus, Bishop of York, Missionary, 644  Wilberforce, Lord Shaftesbury, and many other evangelicals, have been leaders in social reform, but it was not their religion. Their efforts succeeded because they put first things first, and believed firmly in the Word of God, in the conversion of the individual, in prayer, and in using spiritual means for spiritual work.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7260</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hatred is gained as much by good works as by evil. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63400]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hatred is gained as much by good works as by evil.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63400</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Many fine things can be done in a day if you don't always make that day tomorrow ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/462]]></link><description><![CDATA[Many fine things can be done in a day if you don't always make that day tomorrow]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/462</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We don't know who discovered water, but we know it wasn't the fish. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44786]]></link><description><![CDATA[We don't know who discovered water, but we know it wasn't the fish.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44786</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The individual is foolish; the multitude, for the moment is foolish, when they act without deliberation; but the species is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52454]]></link><description><![CDATA[The individual is foolish; the multitude, for the moment is foolish, when they act without deliberation; but the species is wise, and, when time is given to it, as a species it always acts right.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52454</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A woman's life is a history of the affections. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1644]]></link><description><![CDATA[A woman's life is a history of the affections.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1644</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We've tried to put ourselves in position to play some really talented teams or individual players. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37395]]></link><description><![CDATA[We've tried to put ourselves in position to play some really talented teams or individual players.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37395</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When God's green grows it's rarely in rowsAwry the rye rises .. unruly the rose. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20770]]></link><description><![CDATA[When God's green grows it's rarely in rowsAwry the rye rises .. unruly the rose.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20770</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can make whatever you want out of your life, but first you have to not be afraid to try. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63077]]></link><description><![CDATA[You can make whatever you want out of your life, but first you have to not be afraid to try.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63077</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Marriage is low down, but you spend the rest of your life paying for it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2030]]></link><description><![CDATA[Marriage is low down, but you spend the rest of your life paying for it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2030</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A wise man is superior to any insults which can be put upon him, and the best reply to unseemly ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22849]]></link><description><![CDATA[A wise man is superior to any insults which can be put upon him, and the best reply to unseemly behavior is patience and moderation.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22849</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If I was at fault, I could see paying.
