Debate at Hard Money Baptist Church near Paducah, Kentucky, November 12-15.
Discussion drew packed houses. The last two days people stood around the walls and listened.
Tom Dennington has no equal among the Baptists of West Kentucky as a debater, Boyce Taylor not excepted. Taylor has the reputation as a debater; Tony Dennington delivers the goods. Dennington strove to discuss the issues at all times, made an attempt to answer his opponent on almost every argument produced, conducted himself in a fine way (he used the term "Campbellite" only a few times with an apology), and kept the respect of the people. It is indeed refreshing to know some Baptist debaters can act like gentlemen in debate. John R. Clark, who majored in "mud-slinging" taught them a first class lesson last July in the Clark-Douthitt debate - viz., that it does not pay to use cheap wit and vulgarity.
B. L. Douthitt needs no commendation as a debater or a Christian gentleman. To say that he did his part just right is to state mildly the conviction of all who attended the debate. He pressed relentlessly the question: "Where does the Bible mention the Missionary Baptist Church?" To aid the reader just a bit, it is well to say that Tom Dennington promised faithfully before a large audience, at the Douthitt-Clark debate, that he would find the chapter and verse that mentioned the Baptist Church or eat it. To say he suffered painfully, when called upon by Bro. Douthitt in every speech to give the reference, is to put the matter in the most graceful form.
Preachers: I. A. Douthitt, C. B. Douthitt, T. G. Curd, L. E. Jones, J. S. Jones, Robert McGregor, Jewell Norman, Benton Carman, Henry Ford, Hugo Allmond, H. A. Brown, A. J. Veteto, Adrian Doran, W. W. Heflin, Alex Harper, and Coleman Overby. Such debates can do much good. The issue were clearly drawn and were discussed earnestly and in the kindest way. Bro. Douthitt did his work well and endeared himself to the people.
