At Slayden, Tennessee, October 22-24 for three days.
Mr. Moore affirmed "that Holy Spirit comes in actual personal contact with the sinner's heart in being saved." He preached two or three different operations of the Spirit - (1) Direct, (2) through the word, and (3) in addition to the word. Therefore no one knows where to place Mr. Moore. He clearly admitted that if we would obey Christ and his apostles as set forth in the New Testament, we would be saved, but said that he knows of no one that can do it, admitting that universal damnation is true. Even the old Primitive Baptist present said he had abandoned his doctrine and got on their side of the fence. To my mind, Mr. Moore was routed from his position. Mr. Utley, Moore's moderator, became restless and on the second day he arose three times and propounded questions to Bro. Derryberry. He seemed to think that he could do better than Mr. Moore had done.
On the third day Bro. Derryberry affirmed "water baptism as a condition of pardon." On this question, Mr. Moore was pressed to say that John's baptism was Christian baptism. He said that Christ's blood was as effective before shed as after; and when asked why he shed it at all, he never answered. He claimed that Paul was saved before the vision appeared, while on his way to Damascus. He had to tear out the latter part of Mark's gospel in order to try to defend himself. But this hurt him with his own people. Mr. Moore intimated that Mr. Utley would rally at any time; but he got a public challenge to come to our house of worship (Dunn's Chapel) and continue the debate on Friday, but he refused. We asked him to come Monday and he said he would if arrangements could be made. We told him all things were ready and to come on, but he did not come. He said he wanted to meet F. B. Srygley . So if Br. Srygley happens to see this, I hope he will write me. We would like another debate at Vanleer with the Baptists.
