No Debate Between Boaz and Hardy
April 21, 1910

(By W. W. O'Gwin)

Bro. W. T. Boaz, of Columbia, Tennessee preached an interesting discourse at New Hope Baptist Church, near Centerville, March 15.

He had signed to debate J. B. Hardy (Primitive Baptist). Bro. Boaz had met Hardy in Dickson County where Hardy signed a statement that baptism was for remission of sins. "Then he came straight to this place and said that he did not sign any such statement, and Bro. Boaz and his brethren were misrepresenting things. Then I wrote Bro. Boaz asking him if he would meet Elder Hardy on the same proposition, and he said that he would. Then Hardy was promptly challenged on his first appearance at this place, and he made a great fuss about how he would meet any man. But when Bro. Boaz arrived here, Hardy was in Kansas. But Bro. Boaz set the facts concerning the Barton's Creek debate before the people and at the close of the service left an open challenge for any Primitive Baptist under heaven to accept. The brethren consider Boaz more than a match for the best of the Baptists can produce.
