Surely that is not wholly true. It certainly must help us if we recognize that it is the presence of the Holy Spirit which creates a unity which we can never create.If men believe in the existence of this unity, they may begin to desire it, and desiring it to seek for it, and seeking it to find it. If, when they find it, they refuse to deny it, in due time, by ways now unsearchable, they will surely return to external communion.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7467</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Propaganda is a soft weapon; hold it in your hands too long, and it will move about like a snake, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37517]]></link><description><![CDATA[Propaganda is a soft weapon; hold it in your hands too long, and it will move about like a snake, and strike the other way.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37517</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To the rich man, Lazarus was part of the landscape.
