Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Debate on Baptism: Embracing Mode and Subjects In introducing this book to the public of Canada, a brief statement of the circumstances of its publication will naturally be looked for by the reader. Those circumstances are as follows: In the month of August, 1884, Elder Harding, of Kentucky, who was then holding evangelistic services in the County of Grey, near Meaford, publicly challenged Rev. T. L. Wilkinson, of Brantford, to a platform discussion of the question of Baptism. The challenge having been accepted by Mr. Wilkinson, it was subsequently agreed that the debate should be held during the ensuing December in the town of Meaford. It was to occupy two sessions of two hours each, per day, and continue for six days. Elder Harding being recognized by the Disciples as one of their ablest polemical representatives, and Mr. Wilkinson being regarded as familiar with the various aspects of the subject, and expert in its exposition and defence from the Pædo -baptist standpoint, a very deep interest was excited in the community at the prospect of this debate. Accordingly, as the time for the conflict drew near, the conviction became general that it would be a misfortune not to have a full and faithful report of the whole discussion preserved for the benefit of other neighborhoods and future generations. The outcome of this feeling was the formation of a small syndicate, or combination, to get the debate reported and published. This combination was altogether independent of either of the disputants, though its action was to be contingent on the consent of both. This being obtained, negotiations were opened with Mr. Thomas Bengough, official reporter, of the city of Toronto, resulting in an agreement on his part to furnish a full and impartial report of the whole debate.
