Obstructionist Church-Members

A MINISTER, writing to the Christian Advocate, December 6, about obstructionist church-members, very fittingly describes them by saying that their idea of a minister “who will preach the simple gospel” is that he is one “who will never disturb them by a personal appeal in public or private, but descant upon the blessedness of the gospel. In the minds of many, anything which bears on the lives of men and women outside of a general condemnation of the broad immoralities ‘is not the gospel.’” And there are thousands of them who are not in the Methodist Church.
