FORBIDDEN TO OBEY CHRIST
A Consequence of
Alien Marriage.
“What knowest thou,
O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband?” So Paul wrote
to the Corinthians (1 Cor. 7:16). Recently a Birmingham
sister who had married, but not “in the Lord,” was
remonstrated with as provided for by the constitution of the
ecclesia; and her husband, who cares for none of these
things, intervened in the subjoined letter. It was thought
the publication thereof might dissuade some sisters from
putting their necks under such a yoke. The letter was sent
to the recording brother. The writer’s name is, of course,
suppressed.
Sir,—As
it is through me that my wife does not attend the
Christadelphian meetings now, I thought I had better let you
know why I object to her going, hence my writing to you.
Well, to tell the truth, I do not approve of my wife going
so far from home to a place of worship when there are places
of that description so near to us. And I do not care to
accompany her to the meetings on account of not
understanding the Christadelphian religion. Trusting this
will settle the matter and stop further correspondence from
you to my wife.—Yours faithfully,—
