Our duty is to see whether God is with us; whether we expect great things from Him; whether we do not practically place Him far off, forgetting that, if He is, He is about us, speaking to us words that have not been heard before, guiding us to paths on which earlier generations have not been able to enter. There is -- most terrible thought! -- a practical atheism, orthodox in language, reverent in bearing, which can enter a Christian church and charm the conscience to rest with shadowy traditions; an atheism which grows incessantly within us if we separate what cannot be separated with impunity, the secular from the divine, the past and the future from the present, earth from heaven, the things of Caesar from the things of God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6905</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Like an army defeated The snow hath retreated,  And now doth fare ill   On the top of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26376]]></link><description><![CDATA[Like an army defeated The snow hath retreated,  And now doth fare ill   On the top of the bare hill;    The Ploughboy is whooping--anon--anon!     There's joy in the mountains:      There's life in the fountains;       Small clouds are sailing,        Blue sky prevailing;         The rain is over and gone.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26376</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We had a great sale.
