They had shortcomings enough, it is true, and divisions and scandals not a few, for even apostolic times were no golden age of purity and primitive simplicity. Yet we can see that their fullness of life, and hope, and promise for the future, were a new sort of power in the world. Within their own limits they had solved almost by the way the social problem which baffled Rome, and baffles Europe still. They had lifted woman to her rightful place, restored the dignity of labour, abolished beggary, and drawn the sting of slavery. The secret of the revolution is that the selfishness of race and class were forgotten in the Supper of the Lord, and a new basis for society found in love of the visible image of God in men for whom Christ died.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6624</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No barber shaves so close but another finds worke. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49647]]></link><description><![CDATA[No barber shaves so close but another finds worke.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49647</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some men give up their designs when they have almost reached the goal; While others, on the contrary, obtain a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10420]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some men give up their designs when they have almost reached the goal; While others, on the contrary, obtain a victory by exerting, at the last moment, more vigorous efforts than ever before.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10420</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Stay the course, light a star,Change the world where'er you are. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46156]]></link><description><![CDATA[Stay the course, light a star,Change the world where'er you are.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46156</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We've had to run at Texas Tech, which is the defending Big 12 champions, at the University of Oklahoma, at ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30363]]></link><description><![CDATA[We've had to run at Texas Tech, which is the defending Big 12 champions, at the University of Oklahoma, at the University of Houston and against some other Division I competition.
