We have all the comfort and security that comes from historic tradition, but instead of being given the sad nostalgia of looking at an object and saying, "Look, how wonderful! This is what He touched then," we are given an evergreen memorial [in communion] which says, "This is what He touches now.".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7490</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The sheriff cried on television because he has no money to pay his employees, and food is scarce, ...
