But depend upon it, they do not by adding these words, or any words, bring it about that their prayers should be in the name of Christ. To pray in the name of Christ means to pray in such a way as represents Christ. The representative always must speak in the spirit and meaning of those for whom he speaks. If Christ is our representative, that must be because He speaks our wishes, or what we ought to make our wishes; and if we are to pray in the name of Christ, that means that we are, however far off, expressing His wishes and intentions.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8373</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That 400-person party would cost about $500 a head, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32947]]></link><description><![CDATA[That 400-person party would cost about $500 a head,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32947</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have discovered that we may be in some degree whatever character we choose.
