Whenever, by exertion in any unselfish cause, health is broken or fortune impaired, or influential friends estranged, the follower of Christ is called an enthusiast, a fanatic, or even more plainly a man of unsound mind. He may be comforted by remembering that Jesus was said to be beside Himself when teaching and healing left Him not leisure even to eat.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7271</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54805]]></link><description><![CDATA[O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called; Which some professing have erred concerning faith.
