Christianity fails because people will keep on the surface too much, they will not go down to face these deep inner obediences; and that is ultimately to be beaten by themselves. We talk big and play so small. And the world has found it out --the great bulk have discarded Christianity as the way of Hope and put their hope in other things.  ... The Notebooks of Florence Allshorn  September 26, 1998  Commemoration of Wilson Carlile, Priest, Founder of the Church Army, 1942  Even those of us who are inside it will agree that, in the main, the Church and all for which it stands occupy a palpably smaller place in the life of the average member than it did in former days. We explain it on the ground that life has become fuller, and that, of necessity, our attention nowadays has to percolate over a wide area instead of rushing foam-flecked down a narrower channel -- which is to say, in other words, that Christ is getting lost to us in the crush and throng of things, does not loom up as arresting, as unique, as all-important, as He did to our forefathers. Yet that, when you come to think of it, is no bad definition of unspirituality.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7750</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Unlike any other visual image, a photograph is not a rendering, an imitation or an interpretation of its subject, but ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46566]]></link><description><![CDATA[Unlike any other visual image, a photograph is not a rendering, an imitation or an interpretation of its subject, but actually a trace of it.
