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[For surely in the blind deep-buried roots Of all men's souls to-day  A secret quiver shoots. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57798]]></link><description><![CDATA[For surely in the blind deep-buried roots Of all men's souls to-day  A secret quiver shoots.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57798</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no such thing as a problem without a gift for you in its hands.

It is the variety which gives interest to the unity. What is it in which these people, differing as widely as they do, are vitally and fundamentally at one, so that through all their differences they form a brotherhood and are conscious of an indissolubale spiritual bond? There can be no doubt that that which unites them is a common relation to Christ -- a common faith in Him, involving religious convictions about Him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7986</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let a smile be your umbrella, and you'll end up with a face full of rain. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56665]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let a smile be your umbrella, and you'll end up with a face full of rain.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56665</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men in general are quick to believe that which they wish to be true. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63886]]></link><description><![CDATA[Men in general are quick to believe that which they wish to be true.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63886</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Suicide sometimes proceeds from cowardice, but not always; for cowardice sometimes prevents it; since as many live because they are ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58231]]></link><description><![CDATA[Suicide sometimes proceeds from cowardice, but not always; for cowardice sometimes prevents it; since as many live because they are afraid to die, as die because they are afraid to live]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58231</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A lot of guys get upset in that situation, ... but he was able to shrug it off.
