They have Christ, they have God, and they are satisfied. There can be no monotony in the contemplation and worship of the Infinite. Their great possession is unchangeable, but also inexhaustible; no change is possible where all is love and truth. The centre of the heavenly life is fixed and immovable, but the circumference may ever be advancing towards the centre, the saints may ever be drawing nearer and nearer to the goal which they can never reach. There may be progress in knowledge, progress in enjoyment, progress in service -- a progress which at every point will open up new wonders, new opportunities, new outlooks into a greater future, and as that future unfolds itself, new and unexpected scopes for the energies of redeemed men, new ways of fellowship with God in Christ, new companionships with the good and great of past generations, and with angelic beings who have watched and guarded us in life, and rejoiced over our repentance, and are ready to welcome us into the eternal mansions, and will share our worship and our work, our service and our joy, in the ages to come.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8168</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Osmund, Bishop of Salisbury, 1099  With us, our denomination is a source of pride: we feel an ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6922]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Osmund, Bishop of Salisbury, 1099  With us, our denomination is a source of pride: we feel an intimate link with our fellow church-member in Fiji, and we think how wonderful it is that we belong to a communion which spans the entire globe.

One day others will come who will do the same things better. And some day he will have been completely forgotten--even if he should have built the pyramids or the St. Gotthard tunnel or invented atomic fission. And one thing is even more certain: whether the achievement of a man's life is great or small, significant or insignificant, he will one day stand before his eternal judge, and everything that he has done and performed will be no more than a mole hill, and then he will have nothing better to do than hope for something he has not earned: not for a crown, but quite simply for gracious judgment which he has not deserved. That is the only thing that will count then, achievement or not. "My kindness shall not depart from you." By this man lives. By this alone can he live.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8569</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sir Beatle is inviting 300 people.

These were people who were putting up no resistance, many with no weapons, leaving in cars, trucks, carts, and on foot. The American armed forces bombed one endof the main highway from Kuwait City to Basra, sealing it off andthen bombed the other end of the highway, sealing it off. Theypositioned mechanized artillery units on the hill overlooking thearea and then, both from the air and the land, massacred every livingthing on the road. Fighter bombers, helicopter gunships, and armoredbattalions poured merciless firepower on those trapped in the trafficjams, backed up as much as 20 miles. One U.S. pilot reportedlysaid, It was like shooting fish in a barrel. That fateful stretchof road has since been dubbed the Highway of Death.In a report submitted to the Commission of Inquiry for theInternational War Crimes Tribunal, charges are made that those killedwere Palestinian and Kuwaiti civilians trying to escape the siege ofKuwait City and the return of Kuwaiti armed forces. The report claimsthat no attempt was made by U.S. military command to distinguishbetween military personnel and civilians.*****The Guardian newspaper in the UK has written of the 9000Iraqis killed by the RAF bombs in 1920, one of the 6 timesBritish oil interests have violated the people of Iraq in thelast 86 years.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5441</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Labour with what zeal we will, Something still remains undone,  Something uncompleted still   Waits the rising of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50575]]></link><description><![CDATA[Labour with what zeal we will, Something still remains undone,  Something uncompleted still   Waits the rising of the sun.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50575</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[CONSIDERING THE VOID When I behold the charmof evening skies, their lulling endurance;the patterns of stars with namesof bears and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46793]]></link><description><![CDATA[CONSIDERING THE VOID When I behold the charmof evening skies, their lulling endurance;the patterns of stars with namesof bears and dogs, a swan, a virgin;other planets that the Voyager showed were like and so unlike our own,with all their diverse moons,bright discs, weird rings, and cratered faces;comets with their streaming tailsbent by pressure from our sun;the skyscape of our Milky Wayholding in its shimmering discan infinity of suns(or say a thousand billion);knowing there are holes of darknessgulping mass and even light,knowing that this galaxy of oursis one of multitudesin what we call the heavens,it troubles me.
