The centre of the heavenly life is fixed and immovable, but the circumference may ever be advancing towards the centre, the saints may ever be drawing nearer and nearer to the goal which they can never reach. There may be progress in knowledge, progress in enjoyment, progress in service -- a progress which at every point will open up new wonders, new opportunities, new outlooks into a greater future, and as that future unfolds itself, new and unexpected scopes for the energies of redeemed men, new ways of fellowship with God in Christ, new companionships with the good and great of past generations, and with angelic beings who have watched and guarded us in life, and rejoiced over our repentance, and are ready to welcome us into the eternal mansions, and will share our worship and our work, our service and our joy, in the ages to come.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8168</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The axis of the earth sticks out visibly through the centre of each and every town or city. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8769]]></link><description><![CDATA[The axis of the earth sticks out visibly through the centre of each and every town or city.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8769</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sometimes I go about in pity for myself, and all the while a great wind is bearing me across the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46376]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sometimes I go about in pity for myself, and all the while a great wind is bearing me across the sky.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46376</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We will lose control of our home affairs.
