It has run its course. It is vain for eloquent atheists to talk of the great truths that will be revealed if once we see free thought begin. We have seen it end. It has no more questions to ask; it has questioned itself. You cannot call up any wilder vision than a city in which men ask themselves if they have any selves. You cannot fancy a more skeptical world than that in which men doubt whether there is a world. It might certainly have reached its bankruptcy more quickly and cleanly if it had not been feebly hampered by the application of indefensible laws of blasphemy or by the absurd pretense that modern England is Christian. But it would have reached the bankruptcy anyhow.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8342</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the days of His earthly ministry, only those could speak to him who came where He was: if He ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7588]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the days of His earthly ministry, only those could speak to him who came where He was: if He was in Galilee, men could not find Him in Jerusalem; if He was in Jerusalem, men could not find Him in Galilee. His Ascension means that He is perfectly united with God; we are with Him wherever we are present to God; and that is everywhere and always. Because He is "in Heaven" He is everywhere on earth: because He is ascended, He is here now. Our devotion is not to hold us by the empty tomb; it must lift up our hearts to heaven so that we too "in heart and mind thither ascend and with Him continually dwell": it must also send us forth into the world to do His will; and these are not two things, but one.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7588</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Absence does not make the heart grow fonder, but it sure heats up the blood ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34434]]></link><description><![CDATA[Absence does not make the heart grow fonder, but it sure heats up the blood]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34434</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I believe a leaf of grass is no less than the journey-work of the stars. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43935]]></link><description><![CDATA[I believe a leaf of grass is no less than the journey-work of the stars.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43935</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everything in the universe has a purpose.
