For God Who searches the inmost recesses of the heart can interpret His own Spirit's meaning. He knows that His own Will regulates Its petitions, and that they are offered for men dedicated to His service.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6326</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Which is the best government?
