I reply, What if God does not care to have you know it at second-hand? What if there would be no good in that? There is some testimony on record, and perhaps there might be much more were it not that, having to do with things so immediately personal, and generally so delicate, answers to prayer would naturally not often be talked about; but no testimony concerning the thing can well be conclusive; for, like a reported miracle, there is always some way to daff it; and besides, the conviction to be got that way is of little value: it avails nothing to know the thing by the best of evidence... `But if God is so good as you represent Him, and if He knows all that we need, and better far than we do ourselves, why should it be necessary to ask Him for anything?" In answer, What if He knows prayer to be the thing we need first and most? What if the main object in God's idea of prayer be the supplying of our great, our endless need -- the need of Himself? (Continued tomorrow).]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8222</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fix your eyes on perfection and you make almost everything speed towards it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46110]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fix your eyes on perfection and you make almost everything speed towards it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46110</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We do not wish to inhibit the artistic merits of our students, but there will be warnings before particularly racy ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31630]]></link><description><![CDATA[We do not wish to inhibit the artistic merits of our students, but there will be warnings before particularly racy films.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31630</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The game just came to me.

The day and the spirit of Christmas rearrange the world parade. As the world arranges it, usually there come first in importance -- leading the parade with a big blare of a band -- the Big Shots. Frequently they are also the Stuffed Shirts. That's the first of the parade. Then at the tail end, as of little importance, trudge the weary, the poor, the lame, the halt, and the blind. But in the Christmas spirit, the procession is turned around. Those at the tail end are put first in the arrangement of the Child of Christmas.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6518</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We were trying to focus on defense and once our defense got going, it helped us click on offense. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39442]]></link><description><![CDATA[We were trying to focus on defense and once our defense got going, it helped us click on offense.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39442</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In general, it (the study) appeared to have succeeded in gathering and combining a lot of different points of view. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40391]]></link><description><![CDATA[In general, it (the study) appeared to have succeeded in gathering and combining a lot of different points of view.
