W. J. Cullum vs Hopper (Missionary Baptist)
March 15, 1928
near Somerville, Tennessee
(By H. M. Phillips)
This debate was held near Somerville, Tennessee, February 28- March 2.
Apostasy, Baptism. Bro. Cullum, Jackson, Tennessee and Hopper, Jackson, Tennessee were the debaters.
Hopper is somewhat careless in his use of English in an argument and in his conduct. He was free to say "Campbellite" and seemed to feel that jokes and noise constituted debating. He did very well for a Baptist. Bro. Cullum did excellent work concerning the apostasy question, some Baptists were heard to say that they were convinced that the Baptists are wrong. Bro. Cullum knows the truth and is fearless in presenting it. He is well able to defend the cause. I moderated for Bro. Cullum. The debate passed off pleasantly.
