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[In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thine hand: for thou knowest not whether shall ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18762]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thine hand: for thou knowest not whether shall prosper, either this or that, or whether they both shall be alike good.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18762</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Language is a mixture of statement and evocation. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24041]]></link><description><![CDATA[Language is a mixture of statement and evocation.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24041</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is short, time is fast, no replay, no rewind so enjoy every single moment... ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63148]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life is short, time is fast, no replay, no rewind so enjoy every single moment...]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63148</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Stocks will probably hit a wall in the next couple of months, unless we move closer to the Goldilocks scenario. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31060]]></link><description><![CDATA[Stocks will probably hit a wall in the next couple of months, unless we move closer to the Goldilocks scenario.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31060</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I come, I come! ye have called me long, I come o'er the mountain with light and song:  Ye ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57794]]></link><description><![CDATA[I come, I come! ye have called me long, I come o'er the mountain with light and song:  Ye may trace my step o'er the wakening earth,   By the winds which tell of the violet's birth,    By the primrose-stars in the shadowy grass,     By the green leaves, opening as I pass.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57794</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mental pleasure are never cloy; unlike those of the body, they are increased by repetition, approved by reflection, and strengthened ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4447]]></link><description><![CDATA[Mental pleasure are never cloy; unlike those of the body, they are increased by repetition, approved by reflection, and strengthened by enjoyment.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4447</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The influential Jewish groups will now be sensitive to Pakistan's problems particularly with India, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36343]]></link><description><![CDATA[The influential Jewish groups will now be sensitive to Pakistan's problems particularly with India,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36343</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The passionate controversies of one era are viewed as sterile preoccupations by another, for knowledge alters what we seek as ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10069]]></link><description><![CDATA[The passionate controversies of one era are viewed as sterile preoccupations by another, for knowledge alters what we seek as well as what we find.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10069</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Seeing is not always believing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14813]]></link><description><![CDATA[Seeing is not always believing.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14813</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't want what I am saying to sound like a prophecy or anything like an analysis of modern society... ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42626]]></link><description><![CDATA[I don't want what I am saying to sound like a prophecy or anything like an analysis of modern society... these are only feelings I have, and I am the least speculative man on earth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42626</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The desire accomplished is sweet to the soul. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48643]]></link><description><![CDATA[The desire accomplished is sweet to the soul.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48643</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The love of Christ both wounds and heals, it fascinates and frightens, it kills and makes alive, it draws and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7204]]></link><description><![CDATA[The love of Christ both wounds and heals, it fascinates and frightens, it kills and makes alive, it draws and repulses.
