Suppose three unexcused absences required that the individual's name be automatically dropped from the roll, and he could be reinstated only by special vote of the body. Suppose absences from services had to be made up by attending services in some other place, or by carrying out some special project. Suppose church members had to be re-elected to membership each year, and that their attendance and participation in the program of activities determined how the vote went. Oh, well -- just suppose.   ... from The Baptist Messenger  September 16, 2002 Feast of Cyprian, Bishop of Carthage, Martyr, 258 Commemoration of Ninian, Bishop of Galloway, Apostle to the Picts, c. 430 Commemoration of Edward Bouverie Pusey, Priest, tractarian, 1882   This seems a cheerful world, Donatus, when I view it from this fair garden, under the shadow of these vines. But if I climbed some great mountain and looked out over the wide lands, you know very well what I would see--brigands on the high roads, pirates on the seas; in the amphitheaters men murdered to please applauding crowds; under all roofs misery and selfishness. It is really a bad world, Donatus, an incredibly bad world. Yet in the midst of it I have found a quiet and holy people. They have discovered a joy which is a thousand times better than any pleasures of this sinful life. They are despised and persecuted, but they care not. They have overcome the world. These people, Donatus, are the Christians -- and I am one of them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6833</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing's new, and nothing's true, and nothing matters. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44673]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing's new, and nothing's true, and nothing matters.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44673</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We issued gorged with knowledge, and I spoke: "Why, Sirs, they do all this as well as we."  "They ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23012]]></link><description><![CDATA[We issued gorged with knowledge, and I spoke: "Why, Sirs, they do all this as well as we."  "They hunt old trails" said Cyril, "very well;   But when did woman ever yet invent?"]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23012</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I come from that society and there is a common thread, specifically family values - the idea that you do ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66853]]></link><description><![CDATA[I come from that society and there is a common thread, specifically family values - the idea that you do anything for your family, and the unconditional love for one\'s children.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66853</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A wise person decides slowly but abides by these decisions. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63783]]></link><description><![CDATA[A wise person decides slowly but abides by these decisions.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63783</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Engineers like to solve problems.

Faith is not understood when [it is] only demonstrated by life. The more sanctified a life without the verbal witness, the greater the danger of the Christian's goodness getting in the way. Should a person by the grace of God become easier to live with, he doesn't need to call attention to it: it will speak for itself. He can instead seek to balance the reverse effect of the good image by occasionally speaking of the unfavorable realities within, those parts that are still changing. In this way, his external behavior by contrast can point to the power of God, rather than to the effort of man. When we decrease, He can increase, but not until.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6421</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Friendship makes prosperity brighter, while it lightens adversity by sharing its griefs and anxieties. [Lat., Secundas res splendidiores facit amicitia, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16870]]></link><description><![CDATA[Friendship makes prosperity brighter, while it lightens adversity by sharing its griefs and anxieties. [Lat., Secundas res splendidiores facit amicitia, et adversas partiens communicansque leviores.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16870</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Success is sweet and sweeter if long delayed and gotten through many struggles and defeats. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29113]]></link><description><![CDATA[Success is sweet and sweeter if long delayed and gotten through many struggles and defeats.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29113</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A kinsman, a friend, or whom you intreate, take not to serve you, if you will be served neately. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49043]]></link><description><![CDATA[A kinsman, a friend, or whom you intreate, take not to serve you, if you will be served neately.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49043</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cats need it; we don't.
