John C. Taylor vs A. A. Jones (Missionary Baptist)
March 2, 1922
Gardner, Tennessee
(By F. L. Paisley)
The debate began Jan. 30 and ran for 6 days at Gardner, Tenn.
This was bro. Taylor's second debate, but he is very much at home discussing and defending the teaching of the Bible. He is pointed in argument, excellent in delivery, has much scripture by memory and is powerful in persuasion. He is very considerate and free from personalities, treating his opponent with the utmost kindness when he deals in misrepresentation, but he shows no quarters when dealing with false doctrine. A number of Baptist preachers, including his opponent, expressed their regard and appreciation for bro. Taylor, notwithstanding he had pressed their error with telling effect.
Mr. Jones is a much older man than Taylor, has a splendid knowledge of the position he holds, is able in argument, and is above many in his personal deportment in debate. I never heard a debate with better treatment between debaters.
