Often the layman dismisses what the preacher says as something irrelevant to his situation and generation. When he joins a group where he is no longer afraid to be frank, the supposedly faithful member often admits that he has never really accepted what he thinks he has heard. He has, for example, grave reservations about the idea of creation. Did not the world evolve of itself? Do we really need the hypothesis of Infinite Purpose to make sense of the physical, biological, and psychological development? These questions seldom come to the surface when the Church provides merely a one-way preaching. There is little chance of renewal if all that we have is the arrangement by which one speaks and the others listen. One trouble with this conventional system is that the speaker never knows what the unanswered questions are, or what reservations remain in the layman's mentality.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7850</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have shot mine arrow o'er the house And hurt my brother. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/299]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have shot mine arrow o'er the house And hurt my brother.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/299</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love is the delightful interval between meeting a beautiful girl and discovering that she looks like a haddock. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25789]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love is the delightful interval between meeting a beautiful girl and discovering that she looks like a haddock.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25789</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A single bad habit will mar an otherwise faultless character, as an ink- drop soileth the pure white page. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15428]]></link><description><![CDATA[A single bad habit will mar an otherwise faultless character, as an ink- drop soileth the pure white page.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15428</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hark, how chimes the passing bell! There's no music to a knell;  All the other sounds we hear,  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4130]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hark, how chimes the passing bell! There's no music to a knell;  All the other sounds we hear,   Flatter, and but cheat our ear.    This doth put us still in mind     That our flesh must be resigned,      And, a general silence made,       The world be muffled in a shade.        [Orpheus' lute, as poets tell,         Was but moral of this bell,          And the captive soul was she,           Which they called Eurydice,            Rescued by our holy groan,             A loud echo to this tone.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4130</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This living in a democracy is a problem, isn't it? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27593]]></link><description><![CDATA[This living in a democracy is a problem, isn't it?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27593</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are a number of mechanical devices which increase sexual arousal, particularly in women.
