We have been trying to apply machine-age methods to our relations with God. We read our chapter, have our short devotions, and rush away, hoping to make up for our deep inward bankruptcy by attending another gospel meeting or listening to another thrilling story told by a religious adventurer lately returned from afar. The tragic results of this spirit are all about us. Shallow lives, hollow religious philosophies, the preponderance of the element of fun in gospel meetings, the glorification of men, trust in religious externalities, quasi-religious fellowships, salesmanship methods, the mistaking of dynamic personality for the power of the Spirit; these and such as these are the symptoms of an evil disease, a deep and serious malady of the soul.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6950</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I only wish I had more time for fund raising. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65581]]></link><description><![CDATA[I only wish I had more time for fund raising.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65581</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Money can't buy real friendship—friendship must be earned.

Money can't buy a clear conscience—square dealing is the price tag. Money can't buy the glow of good health—right living is the secret. Money can't buy happiness—happiness is a mental condition and one may be as happy in a cottage as in a mansion. Money can't buy sunsets, songs of wild birds and the music of the wind in the trees—these are as free as the air we breath. Money can't buy inward peace—peace is the result of a constructive philosophy in life. Money can't buy a good character—good character is achieved through decent habits of private living and wholesome dealings in our open contacts with our fellow men.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42991</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ambition has its disappointments to sour us, but never the good fortune to satisfy us.

Though now we are fallen upon another method, we have turned all religion into faith, and our faith is nothing but the production of interest or disputing; it is adhering to a party and a wrangling against all the world beside--and when it is asked of what religion he is, we understand the meaning to be what faction does he follow, what are the articles of his sect, not what is the manner of his life: and if men be zealous for their party and that interest, then they are precious men, though otherwise they be covetous as the grave, factious as Dathan, schismatical as Korah, or proud as the fallen angels.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6982</guid></item></channel></rss>
