Certainly Jeremiah was no integrated personality. It is doubtful if... he ever knew the meaning of the word "peace". We have no evidence that his internal struggle was ever ended, although the passing years no doubt brought an increasing acceptance of destiny. Jeremiah, if his "confessions" are any index, needed a course in pastoral psychiatry in the very worst way... The feeling cannot be escaped that if Jeremiah had been integrated, it would have been at the cost of ceasing to be Jeremiah! A man at peace simply could not be a Jeremiah. Spiritual health is good; mental assurance is good; but the summons of faith is neither to an integrated personality nor to the laying-by of all questions, but to the dedication of personality -- with all its fears and questions -- to its duty and destiny under God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8116</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The demand that the Atonement shall be exhibited in vital relation to a new life in which sin is overcome... ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7924]]></link><description><![CDATA[The demand that the Atonement shall be exhibited in vital relation to a new life in which sin is overcome... is entirely legitimate, and it touches a weak point in the traditional Protestant doctrine. Dr. (Thomas) Chalmers tells us that he was brought up -- such was the effect of the current orthodoxy upon him -- in a certain distrust of good works. Some were certainly wanted, but not as being themselves salvation, only, as he puts it, as tokens of justification. It was a distinct stage in his religious progress when he realized that true justification sanctifies, and that the soul can and ought to abandon itself spontaneously and joyfully to do the good that it delights in. The modern mind assumes what Dr. Chalmers painfully discovered. An atonement that does not regenerate, it truly holds, is not an atonement in which men can be asked to believe.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7924</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Be this thy brazen bulwark, to keep a clear conscience, and never turn pale with guilt. [Lat., Hic murus aeneus ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9802]]></link><description><![CDATA[Be this thy brazen bulwark, to keep a clear conscience, and never turn pale with guilt. [Lat., Hic murus aeneus esto,  Nil conscire sibi, nulla pallescere culpa.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9802</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The case has been going on for so long that I've forgotten whether I'm really innocent or guilty. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24291]]></link><description><![CDATA[The case has been going on for so long that I've forgotten whether I'm really innocent or guilty.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24291</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was through the feeling of wonder that men now and at first began to philosophize. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61967]]></link><description><![CDATA[It was through the feeling of wonder that men now and at first began to philosophize.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61967</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We had her for two more years.
