A debate between J. D. Grey (Baptist) ans the writer has been announced to take place in this city in June. However, Mr. Grey backed out a few days ago, and I'm writing to explain the matter.
E. R. Harper and I are students in Union University. What we believe to be true has been ridiculed and misrepresented time after time. We have stood our grounds, and the matter resulted in my signing propositions with J. D. Grey. Dr. Watters heard of our plans and wrote each of us a letter requesting that we call the matter off. His reasons were that this debate, and all others like it would do not good, and that it would tend to destroy the fine spirit which existed within the student body. I courteously replied and explained that I could not afford to call the debate off. Then Dr. Watters, Dr. Savage, and Dr. Hurt went to work on Grey, and he came to me and backed out.
