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[We don't call a man mad who believes that he eats God, but we do the one who says he ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5298]]></link><description><![CDATA[We don't call a man mad who believes that he eats God, but we do the one who says he is Jesus Christ]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5298</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We'll be affected, but it won't be insurmountable. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33222]]></link><description><![CDATA[We'll be affected, but it won't be insurmountable.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33222</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never forget that life can only be nobly inspired and rightly lived if you take it bravely and gallantly, as ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1160]]></link><description><![CDATA[Never forget that life can only be nobly inspired and rightly lived if you take it bravely and gallantly, as a splendid adventure in which you are setting out into an unknown country, to meet many a joy, to find many a comrade, to win and lose many a battle.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1160</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wealth, howsoever got, in England makes lords of mechanics, gentlemen of rakes; Antiquity and birth are needless here; 'Tis impudence ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15792]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wealth, howsoever got, in England makes lords of mechanics, gentlemen of rakes; Antiquity and birth are needless here; 'Tis impudence and money makes a peer.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15792</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The first day a guest, the second day a guest, the third day a calamity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19872]]></link><description><![CDATA[The first day a guest, the second day a guest, the third day a calamity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19872</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life does not cease to be funny when people die any more than it ceases to be serious when people ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24980]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life does not cease to be funny when people die any more than it ceases to be serious when people laugh. -George Bernard Shaw.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24980</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Of the 36,000 that were served by the food bank last year, food insecure was about 87 percent. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33385]]></link><description><![CDATA[Of the 36,000 that were served by the food bank last year, food insecure was about 87 percent.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33385</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No man ought to be twice tried for the same offence. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50556]]></link><description><![CDATA[No man ought to be twice tried for the same offence.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50556</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They are ranked No. 1 for a good reason, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35461]]></link><description><![CDATA[They are ranked No. 1 for a good reason,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35461</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People demand freedom of speech to make up for the freedom of thought which they avoid. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27584]]></link><description><![CDATA[People demand freedom of speech to make up for the freedom of thought which they avoid.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27584</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is all about giving people time back and improving their quality of life. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32064]]></link><description><![CDATA[This is all about giving people time back and improving their quality of life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32064</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the tournament we've gotten better defensively ... in our first two playoff games, our defense basically won it for ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41687]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the tournament we've gotten better defensively ... in our first two playoff games, our defense basically won it for us.
