September 23-27, near Burns, Tennessee.
Discussion held under a tent belonging to Bro. Oscar Parham. Plenty of good food served each day on the grounds - best of felling among all. Debaters did not "sling mud."
Debaters evenly matched, small of stature and rapid speakers. Both seem to enjoy debating but Bradley showed more enthusiasm. "I have seen no one who enjoys a good discussion more than Bro. Bradley. He is one of the best debaters it has been my pleasure to hear, being generally informed so that his opponent cannot introduce anything whether history, science, but that he is able to cope with it. In fact, wherever Bro. Bradley has debated, the best of results have followed his efforts."
As in former debates, Mr. Cayce introduced outside persons in order to prejudice the hearers against the position of his opponent. In this debate he introduced one young lady who had been forbidden the privilege of baptism by her father, and asked what became of her. Bro. Bradley quoted Matthew 10:37 with telling effect, even adding in support a case which came up in his experience where a young lady was baptized against the treat of her father to disinherit here, and to whom were opened many homes in fulfillment of Christ's promise that he will give her a hundred fold in this life to those who leave father, mother, home, and friends to follow him. Cayce refused to answer Bradley, but continued to ask the question. Mr. Cayce brought up another good old woman who had dies in the community without baptism. Bradley quoted Luke 7:29-30 and asked whether this lady was in the class of the people and Publicans or the lawyers and Pharisees, to which Cayce refused an answer. Bradley quoted old Baptist songs to show since only the believer has power to become God's children, then one must still be a child of the devil, though born of God.
Bro. Bradley on last day produced a blackboard diagram showing the links in the chain of connection between man and God, and asked Cayce to erase the one he deemed unnecessary. This he would not do. Cayce had his "goat" chart on the ground, but did not show it. In the Stubblefield-Cayce and the Thompson-Scott debates this chart was so completely turned against them that it will not likely be used again.
T. B. Thompson moderated for Bradley; Mr. Phillips moderated for Cayce. Only one other Baptist preachers came. Our brethren were: Mann, Phillips, Ezell, Luton, Parham, Sisco and Cayce.
If Primitive Baptist boast, call I. B. Bradley, he has a good supply of antidotes for every false doctrine they teach.
