But the things of the soul are far more momentous, and to be asked to deal with huge, unfathomable facts like the Cross in a few minutes, means that people are not really interested in these things. This is, of course, a snippety age, with a snippety press, and snippety novels. But must we preachers follow and be snippety, too?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7848</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In skating over thin ice our safety is in our speed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54644]]></link><description><![CDATA[In skating over thin ice our safety is in our speed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54644</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no elevator to success.
