Bro. Vaughan affirmed for two nights that instrumental music in Christian worship is unscriptural and sinful. This was bro. Vaughan's first debate, but the truth was ably defended by him, and I feel that he is able to meet any man who tries to defend the opposite position.
Mr. Spiegel is very weak in debate. When he arrived at Dancy, he had all of his speeches typed, including his replies to bro. Vaughan's speeches. Bro. Vaughan said he could not understand how Spiegel could answer him before hearing him. Spiegel said he knew what Vaughan was going to say before he left home.
Spiegel's only claim to justify the use of music was that it was used in the temple worship of he Jews, and that it was used by the command of God. He challenged bro. Vaughan to show that God ever forbade its use by plainly saying, "Thou shalt not use instrumental music in worship." Of course, bro. Vaughan had no trouble in the audience to see the inconsistency of such lack of logic. He showed that the law of exclusion forbids the use of anything else where God has specified what shall be used.\
The speakers were courteous and the audience as orderly as in any other kind of religious service. Bro. Vaughan is doing a splendid work in that needy field, and is loved dearly by all of the brethren. I moderated for bro. Vaughan.
