It was painful indeed to see the church, with the exception of the aisles, almost forsaken; but I thought that if God would only give a double blessing to the congregation that did attend, there would on the whole be as much good done as if the congregation were doubled and the blessing limited to only half the amount. This comforted me many, many times, when, without such a reflection, I should have sunk under my burden.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6783</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[At least in a food-and-sustenance sense, we've always taken what we put into our bodies in a fairly serious light. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32463]]></link><description><![CDATA[At least in a food-and-sustenance sense, we've always taken what we put into our bodies in a fairly serious light.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32463</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Beware of the man of one book. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53737]]></link><description><![CDATA[Beware of the man of one book.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53737</guid></item></channel></rss>
