Mr. Brewer is somewhat illiterate but uses wit and repartee and tries hard to meet opponent's arguments. Bro. Morgan has good education, is firm in his convictions.
Mr. Brewer argued against baptism: "Baptism is like getting on a train, taking a seat, and going to Paris. Getting on the train equals faith; taking a seat equals baptism; Paris equals salvation. Now you know it is absolutely necessary to get on the train to go to Paris, but not necessary to take a seat; for you can, when you get on the train, stand up in the train and go."
Bro. Morgan answered that if taking a seat was a condition of going to Paris, the conductor would put him off the train if he did not take his seat. And Morgan added: "But, Mr. Brewer, your contention is that a man is saved as soon as he believes. Belief you make equal with to getting on the train. Hence, as soon as he gets on the train, that very moment he is in Paris, as Paris is equal to his salvation. See?"
Mr. Brewer argued the faith alone theory. On defining his proposition he eliminated devils and angels. Bro. Morgan showed that faith alone would associate folks with the devil. Bro. Morgan drew a circle on the black board and labeled it "D.P." or "Devil's Pen." He quoted James 2:17-19 "the devils also believe and tremble." At this point Brewer's moderator arose and vehemently contended that bro. Morgan was transgressing rule 6 in Hedge's Logic. A sharp debate on the rule followed. Brewer demanded a 3rd moderator. A Methodist school teacher was selected. He decided with the Bap. moderator to eliminate Jam. 2:19; John 12:42-43; John 3:1-7; Acts 26:28; I Cor. 13:1-3. Bro. Morgan argued so sharply that these Baptists saw their mistake in blocking these verses, Bro,. Morgan used them with telling force.
