It is not an idea in the air but feet on the ground going God's way. It is not an exotic to be kept under glass, but a hardy plant to bear twelve months of fruits in all kinds of weather. Fidelity to duty is its root and branch. Nothing we can say to the Lord, no calling Him by great or dear names, can take the place of the plain doing of His will. We may cry out about the beauty of eating bread with Him in His kingdom, but it is wasted breath and a rootless hope unless we plow and plant in His kingdom here and now. To remember Him at His table and to forget Him at ours, is to have invested in bad securities. There is no substitute for plain, every-day goodness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8303</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The healthy expansion is expected to continue drawing on strong internal dynamics, particularly, growth in the PRC and structural improvements ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36696]]></link><description><![CDATA[The healthy expansion is expected to continue drawing on strong internal dynamics, particularly, growth in the PRC and structural improvements in South Asia.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36696</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An old friend is a new house. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49128]]></link><description><![CDATA[An old friend is a new house.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49128</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Richard Meux Benson, Founder of the Society of St John the Evangelist, 1915  It will perhaps be ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7467]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Richard Meux Benson, Founder of the Society of St John the Evangelist, 1915  It will perhaps be said that in our present state of schism this assertion of [spiritual] principle [of oneness] can give us no definite guidance for action, can provide us with no clear programme, and must remain unfruitful. 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[There were about 10 points they scored in a row because we weren't where we needed to be defensively.
