Debate at Una, Miss. July 29 - Aug. 1 - Identity of the church affirmed by both men.
Cayce is a good speaker and considered to be one of the ablest defenders of the Primitive Baptist doctrine, and, with the construction he placed upon the scriptures quoted, was able to make some points of his doctrine appear plausible; but with a fair interpretation of such scriptures, in harmony with all scriptures, his theories fade before the light of truth. He tried to identify the Baptist Church with the church of the N.T. by historic succession from the apostles to the present time; but he utterly failed to show that the ancient believers of whom he read in history held to the doctrines peculiar to Primitive Baptists of today, nor were they known by the name Primitive Baptist.
Bro. Lawson is a quiet, logical reasoner, and does not suffer himself to become excited. Mr. Cayce became very much excited on one occasion because bro. Lawson showed by demonstration, the absurdity of what Cayce called a "rule in mathematics: - viz. That where a thing is equal to two other things, those things must be equal to each other. In his excitement over this matter, Cayce's moderator had to demand order. With this exception, the debate was conducted in a pleasant manner.
The writer (W.D. Craig) is now in the midst of a 4 day discussion of the same subject at Cumberland, Miss. with Mr. Verell, of the Primitive Baptist Church.
