It wears us out by multiplying distractions and beats us down destroying our solitude, where otherwise we might drink and renew our strength, before going out to face the world again. "The thoughtful soul to solitude retires," said the poet of other and quieter times; but where is the solitude to which we can retire today? "Commune with your own heart upon your bed and be still," is a wise and healing counsel; but how can it be followed in this day of the newspaper, the telephone, the radio and television? These modern playthings, like pet tiger cubs, have grown so large and dangerous that they threaten to devour us all. What was intended to be a blessing has become a positive curse. No spot is now safe from the world's intrusion. The need for solitude and quietness was never greater than it is today. What the world will do about it is their problem. Apparently the masses want it the way it is, and the majority of Christians are so completely conformed to this present age that they, too, want things the way they are. They may be annoyed a bit by the clamor and by the goldfish-bowl existence they live, but apparently they are not annoyed enough to do anything about it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7237</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He is so plaguy proud that the death-tokens of it Cry 'No recovery.' ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48205]]></link><description><![CDATA[He is so plaguy proud that the death-tokens of it Cry 'No recovery.']]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48205</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Is there no respect of place, persons, nor time in you? -Twelfth Night.

Modern thought is impersonal. There are, even today, a great many people who understand that man needs salvation, but there are very few who are convinced that he needs forgiveness and redemption...
