Bro. Boaz of Columbia writes: "After the Seventh-Day Adventist of Nashville, Tennessee called for another debate, Elder McVagh refused to debate even the propositions signed and agreed to by both sides, which are as follows: (1) The Sabbath, (2) the observance of the first day of the week, (3) establishment of the kingdom, and (4) the state of the dead. I have pressed upon him to meet me on these, but he refuses." Bro. Boaz discussed the Sabbath question in Nashville the fall of 1908. Elder McVagh was Elder Horton's moderator, and he was unhappy with the way McVagh debated.
Shortly after the debate he challenged Boaz to meet him in debate which was promptly accepted. But after a long correspondence, McVagh decided not to debate. During the discussion with Elder Horton, Bro. Boaz showed how the Sabbath question was brought to the mind of Mrs. White and the revelation she claimed she received. McVagh claimed this was outside matter, and that he was not satisfied to leave matters as they were left in the debate. In justice to the Seventh-Day Adventist, he called upon Bro. Boaz to meet him on the subject. In the correspondence between them, Boaz insisted that in as much as Mrs. White is the head of the Seventh-Day Adventist Church claiming inspiration, that Elder McVagh should affirm it. This he absolutely refused to do, which puts him in an awkward position, for his people are busily engaged in publishing and circulating books and tracts which so teach.
Elder McVagh is now President of the Southern Association of Seventh-Day Adventist, and should either affirm their teaching concerning Mrs. Whites inspiration or stop publication of books that so teach." NOTE: See debate in 1908.
