I have a letter from one of the brethren which states that the Baptist at Bradford, Tennessee are trying to get out of the proposed debate between Bro. Boaz and Henry Williams at that place on the plea that Bro. Boaz is not a representative man and is an unfair man. This was I. N. Penick's plea for failing to show up to meet him at Bradford. I am sure it is for some other reason.

Why is Mr. Williams, so scholarly and so big? How many debates has he had, that he is such an experienced debater that he cannot meet a man in honorable discussion whom the Christian brotherhood will endorse both as a Christian and a debater?

I venture to say Bro. Boaz has had twice the number of debates that Mr. Williams has had. Let him show up or take down his sign, and tell the truth that Boaz is too much of a representative man to suit him. Where did Williams of Clinton, Kentucky and Penick of Martin, Tennessee get the right to say whom we must choose to represent us in debate with them? If we choose a man unable to meet them, we will suffer not they. Give a better reason than that.
