C. R. Nichol vs Mr. I. P. Whittaker (Russellite - Jehovah Witness)
February 9, 1922
Jacksboro, Texas
(By C. R. Nichol)
Near Jacksboro, Tx. Jan. 13-16
I met Mr. Whittaker in discussion. Mr. Whittaker has espoused the doctrine taught by Charles T. Russell. He is a very pleasant man to meet in debate and maintains a pleasant spirit. I think he realizes his weakness as well as the weakness of his position. He is not an educated man, nor is he possessed with the ability to be critical in the examination of a position advanced by the opposition. Possibly Mr. Whittaker can do as well for his position as any man. The weakness of the position of such a man will render the strongest man a weakling in the hands of a man with the truth.
The Adventists who have not yet revised their position that the kingdom has not been established are slow now to affirm it has not been. The position when first advanced was new to many of our people and they were carried off their feet by it; but as soon as they began to become informed on this particular form of infidelity, they repudiated the doctrine, and the teachers among us who have espoused the doctrine, began to "restate" their position.
