A Pastor's Opposition

QUESTION: The preacher in charge opposes us when we testify that "the God of peace sanctifies us wholly." What are we to do?

ANSWER: Keep sweet, but keep testifying in such variety of phrase as the Scriptures afford. "Obey them that have the rule over you," so far as you can without compromising the truth of God's word as verified by your own experience. Stay in the church and let your light shine there, illustrating the truth of your profession. You have rights which your minister is bound to respect. He is amenable to his own conference, to which you have a right to make your charge against him.
