Met January 2-30 at Skull Bone, near Bradford, Tennessee.
Nunnery affirmed Baptist Church is scriptural in origin. When asked how a church not so much as mentioned in the Bible could be scriptural in origin, Mr. Nunnery answered that the church of the New Testament was called the Church of Christ until the 16th Century and ought to be called Church of Christ today. It was necessary to call it the Baptist Church to distinguish it from the new religious bodies that sprang up. Bro. Douthitt then asked if men could call the church by a name other than the one by which it ought to be called, without sinning. Nunnery replied that the new name was providentially given in the 16th Century. He was then asked if providence made a mistake in giving a name to the church by which it ought not to be called. Mr. Nunnery changed positions and said the name was in the Bible. He was pressed relentlessly to produce the passage of scripture that so called the church or to retract his statement.
The weather was cold and roads bad, but large crowds came. The brethren were well pleased with the debate and arranged for B. L. Douthitt to meet T. F. Lowery, Mr. Nunnery's moderator at Skull Boone in March. Cedil Douthitt moderated for B. L. Douthitt.
