The fact is that a demythologized modernism is overwhelming the traditional Christ-centered, mystical faith. For the modern skeptics are not the apostates, village atheists, or political revolutionaries of old. The leaders of today's challenge to traditional beliefs are principally theologians -- those in whose care the church entrusts its sacred teachings.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6723</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Each generation imagines itself to be more intelligent than the one that went before it, and wiser than the one ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66709]]></link><description><![CDATA[Each generation imagines itself to be more intelligent than the one that went before it, and wiser than the one that comes after it.\r\n]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66709</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The headline is very misleading on this one. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32172]]></link><description><![CDATA[The headline is very misleading on this one.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32172</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Fir-Tree and the BrambleA fir-tree said boastingly to the Bramble, You are useful for nothing at all; while I ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1590]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Fir-Tree and the BrambleA fir-tree said boastingly to the Bramble, You are useful for nothing at all; while I am everywhere used for roofs and houses.

They had shortcomings enough, it is true, and divisions and scandals not a few, for even apostolic times were no golden age of purity and primitive simplicity. Yet we can see that their fullness of life, and hope, and promise for the future, were a new sort of power in the world. Within their own limits they had solved almost by the way the social problem which baffled Rome, and baffles Europe still. They had lifted woman to her rightful place, restored the dignity of labour, abolished beggary, and drawn the sting of slavery. The secret of the revolution is that the selfishness of race and class were forgotten in the Supper of the Lord, and a new basis for society found in love of the visible image of God in men for whom Christ died.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6624</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Us sing and dance, make faces and give flower bouquets, trying to be loved.
