Christianity fails because people will keep on the surface too much, they will not go down to face these deep inner obediences; and that is ultimately to be beaten by themselves. We talk big and play so small. And the world has found it out --the great bulk have discarded Christianity as the way of Hope and put their hope in other things.  ... The Notebooks of Florence Allshorn  September 26, 1998  Commemoration of Wilson Carlile, Priest, Founder of the Church Army, 1942  Even those of us who are inside it will agree that, in the main, the Church and all for which it stands occupy a palpably smaller place in the life of the average member than it did in former days. We explain it on the ground that life has become fuller, and that, of necessity, our attention nowadays has to percolate over a wide area instead of rushing foam-flecked down a narrower channel -- which is to say, in other words, that Christ is getting lost to us in the crush and throng of things, does not loom up as arresting, as unique, as all-important, as He did to our forefathers. Yet that, when you come to think of it, is no bad definition of unspirituality.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7750</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The latter part of a man's life is taken up in curing the follies,prejudices, and false opinions he had contracted ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22687]]></link><description><![CDATA[The latter part of a man's life is taken up in curing the follies,prejudices, and false opinions he had contracted in the former.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22687</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We feel pretty much validated.

If we are whimpering, and sniveling, and begging to be spared the discipline of life that is sent to knock some smatterings of manhood into us, the answer to that prayer may never come at all. Thank God! Though, indeed, it is not easy to say that, with honesty. Still, it may never come at all, thank God. But if you have attained as far as Epictetus--pagan though you would call him--whose daily prayer was this: "O God, give me what Thou desirest for me, for I know that what Thou choosest for me is far better than I could choose"; if you are not bleating to get off, but asking to be given grace and strength to see this through with honour, "the very day" you pray that prayer, the answer always comes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7518</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Now Cynthia, named fair regent of the night. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43074]]></link><description><![CDATA[Now Cynthia, named fair regent of the night.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43074</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The main worry short term is the drop in the Nasdaq.
