On December 2, I began a debate with S. A. Paine, Primitive Baptist at Desdemona which was to be a four day's debate; but at the close of the first day Mr. Paine received a message from his wife that she was very sick, and he returned home that night, leaving Elder C. H. Cayce to take his place. So the next morning we opened up, Elder Cayce in the lead, and we finished the four days. I found Mr. Cayce to be a gentleman every whit, and I assure my brethren that when they meet him they meet a man who presents every mark of gentility; and too, he is as strong a debater as I have ever met in the Primitive Baptist faith. Not one time did he resort to trickery to try to ensnare; nor did he ever at any time call us "Campbellites" not even in an indirect way. In fact, I found him to be the fairest man in debate that I ever met.
It is a real pleasure to meet such a man in debate and I hope to have the pleasure of meeting him in debate many times, for I am sure that debates with such a man never causes hard feelings and will always do good. Bro. W. E. Morgan was my moderator, but was needed only to keep time, as there was not a point of order raised in the whole debate. All the brethren were well pleased with the work, and I feel sure that the debate will hear its harvest in our meeting there next summer.
