But, there was once a garret up under the roof, a poor, bare place enough. There was a table in it, and there were some benches, and a water-pot; a towel, and a basin in behind the door, but not much else -- a bare, unhomelike room. But the Lord Christ entered into it. And, from that moment, it became the holiest of all, where souls innumerable ever since have met the Lord God, in High glory, face to face. And, if you give Him entrance to that very ordinary heart of yours, it too He will transform and sanctify and touch with a splendour of glory.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7468</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Going to the mountains is going home. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43310]]></link><description><![CDATA[Going to the mountains is going home.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43310</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When (negotiations) broke last night, everybody made sure everyone had everyone's phone numbers. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38974]]></link><description><![CDATA[When (negotiations) broke last night, everybody made sure everyone had everyone's phone numbers.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38974</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Absence from whom we love is worse than death. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/169]]></link><description><![CDATA[Absence from whom we love is worse than death.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/169</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are several things that have happened in this case . . . . ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34459]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are several things that have happened in this case . . . .]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34459</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I learned just enough in school to figure out that everything is not all there is to know. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54765]]></link><description><![CDATA[I learned just enough in school to figure out that everything is not all there is to know.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54765</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I lost some time once.

It is astonishing how a commandment so simple and distinct, and how a duty which you would have imagined would be eagerly greeted by the impulse of gratitude, of affection, and of compassion, was forgotten for so long a time, in the churches of the Reformation especially. Now we are accustomed to hear of mission work among the heathen nations, and to find that a great multitude of people are interested in it, and regard it with respect; but it was only at the commencement of the last century, and with great difficulty, [that] the attention of the Church was roused to this important duty; and even in the... Church of Scotland there were a number of ministers who thought that the state of heathenism was so utterly corrupt, and that there was so much to be done in our own country, that it was altogether a Utopian project to think of converting the idolaters, and that it was not our imperative duty to trouble ourselves with their wretched condition.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7149</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[EPIPHANY   What should I think of my child, if I found that he limited his faith in me ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8095]]></link><description><![CDATA[EPIPHANY   What should I think of my child, if I found that he limited his faith in me and hope from me to the few promises he had heard me utter! The faith that limits itself to the promises of God seems to me to partake of the paltry character of such a faith in my child -- good enough for a Pagan, but for a Christian a miserable and wretched faith. Those who rest in such a faith would feel yet more comfortable if they had God's bond instead of His word, which they regard not as the outcome of His character but as a pledge of His honour. They try to believe in the truth of His word, but the truth of His Being they understand not. In His oath they persuade themselves that they put confidence: in himself they do not believe, for they know Him not.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8095</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What is the appropriate behavior for a man or a woman in the midst of this world, where each person ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4016]]></link><description><![CDATA[What is the appropriate behavior for a man or a woman in the midst of this world, where each person is clinging to his piece of debris?
