If I were to preach upon this text ("For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also." Matt. 6:21), to such a glass, it would be enough for half the sermon, enough to show the worldly man his treasure, and the object of his Heart, to call his eye to that minute-glass, and to tell him, "There flows, there flies, your treasure, and your heart with it."   But if I had a secular glass, a glass that would run an age; if the two hemispheres of the world were composed in the form of such a glass, and all the world burnt to ashes, and all the ashes, and the sands, and atoms of the world put into that glass, it would not be enough to tell the godly man what his treasure, and the object of his heart is. A parrot will sooner be brought to relate to us the wisdom of a council table, than any Ambrose, or any Chrysostom, men that have gold and honey in their names, shall tell us what the treasure of heaven is, and that man's peace, that hath set his Heart upon that treasure.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8094</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have a facility we'd like filled and you have one you'd like to see stay filled. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37659]]></link><description><![CDATA[We have a facility we'd like filled and you have one you'd like to see stay filled.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37659</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I like how we did it.

Usually the workers themselves have had insufficient training for the job they are asked to perform. And always they work in a secularized culture, in the midst of spiritual illiteracy, where the most commonplace terms in the Bible and the most elemental ideas concerning the Kingdom of God sound strange even to otherwise well-educated adults.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6541</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We say that a girl with her doll anticipates the mother.
