We may conclude, then, that all the promises and predictions in Scripture relative to the future glories of the Jews and of Jerusalem, are to be understood of the Christian church, of which the Jewish church was a figure; and all that is said of feasting, and splendor, and wealth, and worldly greatness and enjoyment, is to be interpreted spiritually of the inward comfort and peace of mind, and "joy of the Holy Ghost", which is promised to sincere Christians in this life, and of the unspeakable happiness prepared for them after death.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6842</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wee know not who lives or dies. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50049]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wee know not who lives or dies.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50049</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I do not like work even when someone else does it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62171]]></link><description><![CDATA[I do not like work even when someone else does it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62171</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Suicide is a permanent solutionto a temporary problem(quoted by Judy Collins on Diane Rehm Show). ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58222]]></link><description><![CDATA[Suicide is a permanent solutionto a temporary problem(quoted by Judy Collins on Diane Rehm Show).]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58222</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of William Morris, Artist, Writer, 1896 Commemoration of George Kennedy Bell, Bishop of Chichester, Ecumenist, Peacemaker, 1958  The ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7108]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of William Morris, Artist, Writer, 1896 Commemoration of George Kennedy Bell, Bishop of Chichester, Ecumenist, Peacemaker, 1958  The progress of mankind has always depended upon those who, seemingly isolated and powerless in their own day, have seen their vision and remained true to it.
