There was none of the indeterminate, inconclusive talking which we are apt to describe as "sowing the seed". Our idea of sowing the seed seems to be rather like scattering wheat out of a balloon... Occasionally, of course, grains of wheat scattered out of a balloon will fall upon ploughed and fertile land and will spring up and bear fruit; but it is a casual method of sowing. Paul did not scatter seeds, he planted. He so dealt with his hearers that he brought them speedily and directly to a point of decision, and then he demanded of them that they should make a choice and act on their choice. In this way he kept the moral issue clearly before them, and made them realize that his preaching was not merely a novel and interesting doctrine, but a life. (Continued tomorrow).]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7973</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Written laws are like spider's webs; they will catch, it is true, the weak and the poor, but would be ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29162]]></link><description><![CDATA[Written laws are like spider's webs; they will catch, it is true, the weak and the poor, but would be torn in pieces by the rich and powerful.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29162</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Without one friend, above all foes, Britannia gives the world repose. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13919]]></link><description><![CDATA[Without one friend, above all foes, Britannia gives the world repose.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13919</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A brother is a friend provided by nature. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15168]]></link><description><![CDATA[A brother is a friend provided by nature.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15168</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Remember that credit is money. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10612]]></link><description><![CDATA[Remember that credit is money.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10612</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some day, on the corporate balance sheet, there will be an entry which reads, "Information"; for in most cases, the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18734]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some day, on the corporate balance sheet, there will be an entry which reads, "Information"; for in most cases, the information is more valuable than the hardware which processes it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18734</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When the opportunity was there I felt it and went for it.
