It was no use preaching the gospel only to those who came to church to hear it. The gospel ought to be preached to those who didn't want to hear it as well: to industrialists in their offices, to clubmen in their windows, to workers in their yards and factories, to bibbers in their taverns, to harlots in their doorways, to all those should the sweet tidings of Christ be taught. It was a sorry matter for reflection that it was only heretics who dared to brave the sneers of the mob by crying aloud the Name of Jesus at street corners and in the market place.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6867</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're thrilled to have developed a game that appeals to massively multiplayer players, as well as fans of the original ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37709]]></link><description><![CDATA[We're thrilled to have developed a game that appeals to massively multiplayer players, as well as fans of the original pen-and-paper game.
