It may be that today the philosopher is honouring the Name af God when he insists that we should know what we mean when we utter our religious language and that we should be ready to have that meaning tested. It may be that other philosophers hallow the Name when they refuse to allow us to withdraw it to some supernatural realm, but insist on wrestling with the unknown God in the agony and joy of existence, crying with Jacob, "Tell me, I pray thee, thy Name." And is not the scientist honouring the Name when he patiently and obediently follows where the evidence leads? Or the social scientist when he asks us to understand what is before we begin pronouncing what ought to be? God does not spend all His time in Church.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6492</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A pauper traveller will sing before a beggar. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50423]]></link><description><![CDATA[A pauper traveller will sing before a beggar.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50423</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men have ascribed to God imperfections that they would deplore in themselves. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56894]]></link><description><![CDATA[Men have ascribed to God imperfections that they would deplore in themselves.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56894</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Although the sun shine, leave not thy cloake at home. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49114]]></link><description><![CDATA[Although the sun shine, leave not thy cloake at home.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49114</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A library is but the soul's burial-ground.
