Hence it was firmly seated first on the great lines of communication across the empire, leading from its origin in Jerusalem to its imperial center in Rome. It had already struck root in Rome within little more than twenty years after the Crucifixion, and it had become really strong in the great city about thirty years after the Apostles began to look round and out from Jerusalem. This marvelous development was possible only because the seed of the new thought floated free on the main currents of communication, which were ever sweeping back and forward between the heart of the Empire and its outlying members. Paul, who mainly directed the great movement, threw himself boldly and confidently into the life of the time; he took the Empire as it was, accepted its political conformation and arrangement, and sought only to touch the spiritual and moral life of the people.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7353</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Matthew, Apostle & Evangelist    The law of Christ, which it is our duty to fulfill, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8586]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Matthew, Apostle & Evangelist    The law of Christ, which it is our duty to fulfill, is the bearing of the cross.

This is essential prayer: uttered or unexpressed, it is equally prayer. It is the soul's desire after God going forth in a manifestation, ... the soul striving after God. This is a prayer that may exist without ceasing, consisting, as it does, not in doing or saying this or that, but in temper and attitude of the spirit.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6574</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He was the start of a new generation of country stars.
