Held at Cool Springs Baptist Church in Ohio County, Kentucky.
Bro. Boaz conducted himself in a manly way and showed he was master of the situation. A. B. Gardner began with slang expressions like: "Acts 2:38 is Boaz's sugar stick." Bro. Boaz begged him all the first day and part of second to leave off all slang, but Gardner would not take advice.
When the second day was over he was glad to leave it off because Boaz turned it against him. The first Boaz drove his opponent to infant damnation on John 3:5. Mr. Gardner first said it meant the spiritual birth; and when driven from that he said it meant the natural birth. Then Bro. Boaz asked him what would become of the unborn dead, and Gardner said if the mother was a Christian the child would be regenerated and saved. So you can see what he would have to permit if his mother was not a Christian. Gardner said Peter was a Baptist preacher and in Acts 2:38 he didn't mean what he said.
The second proposition, Gardner affirmed: establishment of church in ministry of Jesus. Bro. Boaz introduced Hebrew 9:17 to show that the testament is in force after men are dead. Gardner in his speech had a fit. He said: "W. T. Boaz knew that the proposition was foolish when he wrote it. He tried to trap me. He is a scoundrel and a thief; and if he doesn't take back Hebrews 9:17 the debate is off." And with his eyes glowing and teeth clinched, he said: "When I define a term, Boaz, you keep your lips out of it." This storm lasted twenty minutes and blew over without harm.
Baptist preachers made these remarks: "I knew Gardner would not hold his ground." "Gardner is a whipped man." "Boaz is too much for Gardner." "Boaz, you would make a good criminal lawyer." The Baptists felt their defeat. With frowns on their faces they hated to see Boaz carry away the victory. Bert Shields moderated for Gardner. J. L. Hines moderated for Boaz. Large crowds, good weather, and lots to eat.
