Adventist mailed literature to Church of Christ. Bro. Cullum and elders challenged Adventist to affirm two propositions:
(1) Resolved, that the law (the Ten Commandments), as found in Exodus 20:1-17, is perfect in character, universal in application, and unchangeable in nature as applied to man."
(2) Resolved, that the scriptures teach that the seventh day of the creative week was and is the Lord's day, or Sabbath, and was bound upon all men in all ages, present and future." These propositions were accepted by the Adventist and the debate was held. Large crowds came. This discussion was carried on in a gentlemanly manner and with the very best of feeling on both sides - no mud slinging or name calling. At times Elder Hickman read passage after passage of scripture with no bearing whatever on the subject in a vain effort to substantiate his theory and take up his time. Bro. Cullum had to pin him down close in order to make him come to the Sabbath question at all, and when he put forth the strongest he had, Bro. Cullum would unravel his arguments so completely that every one could see their fallacy.
Elder Hickman is the recognized leader among his people in this State, doubtless the most able debater they have in the State of Oklahoma. His followers have been active in this locality for some time.
The church here feels very proud of the showing made by Bro. Cullum in deportment and in the way he handled his arguments. There were people in attendance that never had been in our meeting house before. We feel sure that the cause of Christ will be benefitted and that many who heard the discussion will return to hear the truth.
