[Continued tomorrow]  ... The Notebooks of Florence Allshorn  February 5, 1998  And let us be grateful beyond words for this: that God will not let us alone until we have learnt it and stand by His side. He troubles us, He brings His disturbing light back and back to us, showing us how coarse and heavy the dying self, seeking her own, is; how horrible it is that any feeling of unforgiveness, accepted and held on to, towards our brother, drives God from our side; how quickly we must do all we can to heal the separation, because we are out in the cold and the dark indeed, if divorced from that Love.  ... The Notebooks of Florence Allshorn  February 6, 1998  Commemoration of Martyrs of Japan, 1597  Prayer is the expression of a good desire. The human heart is full of restless desires, and the prayers of men consist for the most part of the unsifted petitions which are urged by their varying passions. To desire what is right, and to desire it consistently, and passionately, is the first condition of true living; the desires can be corrected only by truth, the mind must apprehend God, and then it will say, "There is none upon earth that I desire beside Thee.".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8151</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The age of chivalry is gone.--That of sophisters, economists and calculators has succeeded. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45665]]></link><description><![CDATA[The age of chivalry is gone.--That of sophisters, economists and calculators has succeeded.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45665</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reproof on her lip, but a smile in her eye. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66748]]></link><description><![CDATA[Reproof on her lip, but a smile in her eye.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66748</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's scary, but we're holding our own right now. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35409]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's scary, but we're holding our own right now.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35409</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[From thee all human actions take their springs, The rise of empires, and the fall of kings. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17687]]></link><description><![CDATA[From thee all human actions take their springs, The rise of empires, and the fall of kings.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17687</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Though outwardly a gloomy shroud, The inner half of every cloud  Is bright and shining:   I therefore ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8906]]></link><description><![CDATA[Though outwardly a gloomy shroud, The inner half of every cloud  Is bright and shining:   I therefore turn my clouds about    And always wear them inside out     To show the lining.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8906</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The commissions taint the whole process, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35067]]></link><description><![CDATA[The commissions taint the whole process,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35067</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Answer to the Great Question Of . . .

Those who would give a quick, easy or confident answer to this question have failed to understand it. It cannot even be seriously considered without a profound awareness of the extent to which Christian ideas have lost their hold over, or faded from the consciousness of, large sections of the population; of the far-reaching changes that would be called for in the structure, institutions and activities of existing society, which is in many of its features a complete denial of the Christian understanding of the meaning and end of man's existence; and of the stupendous and costly spiritual, moral, and intellectual effort that any genuine attempt to order national life in accordance with the Christian understanding of life would demand.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7190</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whatsoever was the father of a disease, an ill dyet was the mother. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50060]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whatsoever was the father of a disease, an ill dyet was the mother.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50060</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are no facts, only interpretations. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14879]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are no facts, only interpretations.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14879</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Knowing is not enough, you must apply; willing is not enough, you must do. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61585]]></link><description><![CDATA[Knowing is not enough, you must apply; willing is not enough, you must do.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61585</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Many go out for wool, and come home shorn themselves. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48814]]></link><description><![CDATA[Many go out for wool, and come home shorn themselves.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48814</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Things done well and with a care, exempt themselves from fear. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64576]]></link><description><![CDATA[Things done well and with a care, exempt themselves from fear.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64576</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Overall, we are pretty optimistic.
