J. D. Tant vs John R. Clark (Missionary Baptist)
January 20, 1927
Berea, Tennessee

(By Coleman Overby)

This debate was conducted at Berea, Near Rives, Tenn, Dec. 12-15.

Each affirmed general church propositions. Mr. Clark discussed salvation by faith only and the origin of the church. He made little progress for he was many times completely offset by the negative. Mr. Clark's chief assets (?) are: madness against the "Campbellites." his goat chart, worn-out scrapbooks, and his "Campbellite Catcher."

Bro. Tant in his affirmative, discussed pointedly the teaching of the old Book. He was clear, concise, ready and fluent in his speeches. No one can hear him and have any doubts as to the position he holds. When it comes to readiness, familiarity with the Bible, wit and repartee, he has few equals. He labored loyally and faithfully for the faith. The church at Berea was well pleased with bro. Tant. Brethren present were: O.C, Lambert, Waggoner, C.B. Douthitt, Allen Phy, N,B, Hardeman, I.A. Douthitt and Hogan.
