General church proposition at Benton, Ky., June 16-19, in court house.
H. B. Taylor is publisher of News and Truth, a Baptist weekly. He is author of a number of tracts and booklets. He has been preaching for the Baptist Church at Murray, Ky. possibly 30 years and held in high esteem by his people. He has had more debates than any Bap. preacher in west Ky. He has great reputation among his people as a debater. As a real debater he is only average. He is hopelessly lost without his old scrapbook., from which he reads about 2/3 of the time. He provides no real opposition from a good debater. Were it not for his reputation, he would be placed wholly in the ranks of common debaters. Mr. Taylor, through his paper, often referred to Christians as "Campbellites," in this debate he was a gentleman. However, he never responded to many questions bro. Nichol asked him.
Bro. C. R. Nichol has positively had more discussions than any man in the church of Christ. He has met successively the strongest foes from Adventism, Russellites, Holiness, digressives, Primitive Baptists, Missionary Baptists, Methodists, materialists in general, and infidels. His varied experiences with doctrines of men has made him conversant in many lines. He is an able writer, and the author of many tracts and a number fine books. He has ways peculiar to himself, is fluent in speech, concise in argument, familiar with many books, has his affirmative arguments and his replies at his finger tips, is an artist in presentation of his work, skilled in asking and answering questions, has a high regard for the Bible, and his knowledge of it's contents is remarkable, indeed.
Bro. Nichol affirmed: general church proposition. He used 30 scriptures on a wide variety of doctrines, all ignored by Taylor. Taylor even went so far to say: "If Christ had not died, there would have been churches and salvation just the same." Nichol responded: "If that be true, Christ died for naught and people could have been saved without the shedding of blood." Taylor said little about Greek. He used it against opponents who do not know Greek. Sectarians were astounded at the revelation of Baptist doctrine.
More than 40 gospel preachers were present for the debate.
