Surely that is not wholly true. It certainly must help us if we recognize that it is the presence of the Holy Spirit which creates a unity which we can never create.If men believe in the existence of this unity, they may begin to desire it, and desiring it to seek for it, and seeking it to find it. If, when they find it, they refuse to deny it, in due time, by ways now unsearchable, they will surely return to external communion.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7467</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's the same intent in terms of a general basis, but when you look at the very top box of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31178]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's the same intent in terms of a general basis, but when you look at the very top box of those who are 'very likely' to buy a home, that's where you're seeing the decrease.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31178</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That suggests that the size of the average house is stabilizing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35894]]></link><description><![CDATA[That suggests that the size of the average house is stabilizing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35894</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Yellow-colored objects appear to be gold ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17765]]></link><description><![CDATA[Yellow-colored objects appear to be gold]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17765</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All June I bound the rose in sheaves, Now, rose by rose, I strip the leaves. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54432]]></link><description><![CDATA[All June I bound the rose in sheaves, Now, rose by rose, I strip the leaves.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54432</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Their rising all at once was as the sound Of thunder heard remote. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57295]]></link><description><![CDATA[Their rising all at once was as the sound Of thunder heard remote.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57295</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The testimony of the New Testament cannot be lightly disregarded, nor can the claims of Christ be airily dismissed.
