C. S. Austin vs J. S. Dean
March 19, 1914
Fulton, Kentucky
(By C. M. Stubblefield)
January 27 for four nights at Fulton, Kentucky.
Austin affirmed "The
scriptures teach that the use of instrumental music in the worship of
the Church of Jesus Christ is sin."
"I have attended many debates and have engaged in a few, but never in
life have I seen a debate conducted in so faultless a manner. J. W.
Shepherd and William Savage were moderators, and to those who are
acquainted with Bro. Shepherd it is useless to say that everything
indecorous was ruled out before the discussion began. Neither debater
broke the rules and "it was good to be there."
We were pained at Bro. Dean's remark that he thought the proposition a
foolish one and he took no pride discussint it. We had hoped to see him
engage in its discussion until we all understood it beter. The Churches
of Christ in W. Kentucky are anxious to have him meet Bro. Austin again
and again.
