And this is the curiosity and niceness of divine love: this is the fear of God, and is the daughter and production of love.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7374</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Harriet Monsell of Clewer, Religious, 1883   There is a certain kind of so-called conversion which separates ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7566]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Harriet Monsell of Clewer, Religious, 1883   There is a certain kind of so-called conversion which separates a man from his fellow men. It may fill him with a self-righteousness which rejoices in its own superiority to those who have had no like experience. It may move a man to a Pharisaic self-isolation. There have in fact been not a few so-called conversions as a result of which a man has left the Church to belong to some smaller and holier body. The plain truth is that such a one should very seriously examine himself, if he finds what he regards as his Christian experience separating him from his fellow-men, or his fellow-Christians.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7566</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is not enough to understand, or to see clearly.
