But he could not read Latin, and so the Scriptures were a closed book to him. However, he hired two money-minded priests, who, in violation of strict regulations, translated the Bible for him into Provençal, the language of southern France. The content of the Word of God made such an impression upon this earnest man that he gave up his business, took upon himself a vow of poverty, and dedicated himself to the simple preaching of the contents of God's Word.  The Latin of the Church only mystified its hearers [but] Waldo's humble preaching edified the souls of men. His words were not spectacular but powerful, as he pleaded with them to repent. Much of his preaching and that of his followers consisted in reciting long passages of Scripture in the vernacular. Many of them could not afford an expensive handwritten copy of the Bible, and the ecclesiastical authorities could too easily rob them of such a book; but they could not erase the words which were treasured in the heart.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6708</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What, wouldst thou have a serpent sting thee twice? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20902]]></link><description><![CDATA[What, wouldst thou have a serpent sting thee twice?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20902</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Bartholomew the Apostle  How readily we assume that the Church is the only channel of divine action ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6935]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Bartholomew the Apostle  How readily we assume that the Church is the only channel of divine action among men! Common sense tells us this assumption is wrong -- and nothing in the Bible supports such a conclusion. Believing that God is the Lord of history, we believe that God is at work now in the development of industry and commerce throughout the world, in the experiments and researches of the scientists, in the deliberations of the United Nations, and in the course of events in Berlin and Havana, in Moscow and Peiping, and Detroit. One might say, then that He seems to be doing some very strange and contradictory things! But, though we cannot claim to know God's purpose in all this, we do believe that God acts in all these circumstances. The revolutionary changes of our time are not all a mistake: they are not taking place without God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6935</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For the preacher's merit or demerit, It were to be wished that the flaws were fewer  In the earthen ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48069]]></link><description><![CDATA[For the preacher's merit or demerit, It were to be wished that the flaws were fewer  In the earthen vessel, holding treasure,   But the main thing is, does it hold good measure    Heaven soon sets right all other matters!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48069</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Poetry is itself a thing of God; He made his prophets poets;and the more  We feel of poesie do ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46741]]></link><description><![CDATA[Poetry is itself a thing of God; He made his prophets poets;and the more  We feel of poesie do we become   Like God in love and power,--under-makers.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46741</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The side played sensationally.
