Poor, timorous, faithless souls that we are! How we shall smile at our vain alarms, when the worst has happened! To us here, death is the most terrible word we know. But when we have tasted its reality, it will mean to us birth, deliverance, a new creation of ourselves. It will be what health is to the sick man. It will be what home is to the exile. It will be what the loved one given back is to the bereaved. As we draw near to it, a great solemn gladness should fill our hearts. It is God's great morning lighting up the sky.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6529</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Each song, you're telling a story and acting. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65352]]></link><description><![CDATA[Each song, you're telling a story and acting.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65352</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Censorship reflects a society's lack of confidence in itself.
