Methodist Ministers in Politics

The Methodist ministers of San Francisco took an active part in the late municipal election. According to the Examiner, they issued and circulated a little ticket of their own, and for a week electioneered for their candidates with all the determination of professional politicians. Their efforts were especially directed to the election of candidates for supervisor. At a special meeting of the Methodist Association, the favored candidates were selected from those of three parties to the municipal controversy. “Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please Him who hath shown him to be a soldier.” 2 Tim. 2:3, 4.
