Steryl A. Watson vs Lester Hathaway (No divided classes / no women teachers)
April 26, 1951
Booneville, Arkansas

(By George B. Curtis)

Steryl A. Watson vs Lester Hathaway, March 6-9, 1951, at Booneville, Ark.

The class question and women teachers were discussed. Hathaway built his arguments around I Cor. 14:34, 35. He failed signally in his affirmation and kept trying to sustain his own affirmation all through his negative speeches. Bro. Watson showed that the Lord taught his disciples in groups less than the whole number, that the Bible divided us into various classes, that to teach that all are required a class, that women taught just as women teach now and that by the authority of heaven. Booneville has long been troubled with anti-ism. The building occupied by the anti-brethren was built by our brethren, This was brought out in the debate. At times feelings ran high, but good will come from the discussion.
