It is the variety which gives interest to the unity. What is it in which these people, differing as widely as they do, are vitally and fundamentally at one, so that through all their differences they form a brotherhood and are conscious of an indissolubale spiritual bond?

"We were buried with Christ through our baptism (and so entered) into a state of death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the splendor of the Father, we too might walk in the newness which belongs to (real) life." To the rite as such Paul did not attach overwhelming importance. "Christ", he says, "did not send me to baptize, but to preach the Gospel."  Paul recognized in the idea a most suggestive figure for the change wrought by faith in Christ. He found it necessary to guard against the crude sacramentalism which found in the mere physical process, as such, the actual impartation of new life, quite apart from anything taking place in the realm of inward experience. The Israelites in the wilderness ... received baptism in the Red Sea and in the cloud which overshadowed them; and yet they were disobedient, "the majority of them God did not choose," and they perished miserably. The inference is plain. No sacramental act achieves anything unless it is an outward symbol of what really happens inwardly in experience. The test of that is the reality of the new life as exhibited in its ethical consequences. "How can we who are dead to sin live any longer in sin?" If baptism is a real dying and rising again, then it is indeed a profound revolution in the personal life, a revolution which is simply bound to show itself in a new moral character.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7456</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[None make a greater show of sorrow than those who are most delighted. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51666]]></link><description><![CDATA[None make a greater show of sorrow than those who are most delighted.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51666</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To be happy, we must not be too concerned with others ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9629]]></link><description><![CDATA[To be happy, we must not be too concerned with others]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9629</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An idler is a watch that wants both hands; As useless if it goes as when it stands. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20331]]></link><description><![CDATA[An idler is a watch that wants both hands; As useless if it goes as when it stands.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20331</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're growing more as a team, and we're relying on each other, so it's definitely helping us out with the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34107]]></link><description><![CDATA[We're growing more as a team, and we're relying on each other, so it's definitely helping us out with the foundation of our team.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34107</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The violets prattle and titter, And gaze on the stars high above. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60708]]></link><description><![CDATA[The violets prattle and titter, And gaze on the stars high above.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60708</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Mary Sumner, Founder of the Mothers' Union, 1921  Thou knowest well how to excuse and color thine ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8390]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Mary Sumner, Founder of the Mothers' Union, 1921  Thou knowest well how to excuse and color thine own deeds; but thou art not willing to receive the excuses of others.

But there in hell--that is, beyond a fixed boundary set by God--all the securities and safeguards disappear into thin air. What here is only a tiny flame of secret self-reproach that flickers up occasionally and is quickly smothered, there becomes a scorching fire. What here is no more than a slight ticking sound in our conscience suddenly becomes the trumpet tone of judgment which can no longer be ignored.
