The Roberts-Walker Debate
The debate came as result of a challenge by Mr. Walker (Seventh Day Church of God-so called). The Canon City congregation accepted the challenge and secured Luther G. Roberts, of Amarillo, Texas, to do the work. Mr. Walker affirmed that we are to keep the Seventh day Sabbath, and the last two nights Brother Roberts affirmed that we are to meet on the first day, the Lord's Day, to observe the Lord's' Supper.
Mr. Walker made about the usual arguments, and did about as well as most of them do. This was Brother Roberts' first debate, though Walker said he did not believe it. Brother Roberts did a very splendid work, and the church was more than pleased with his defense of the truth. He was well prepared to meet every question raised by Mr. Walker. Truth will never suffer in Brother Roberts' trust. The small congregation in Canon City has been strengthened by this work. -M. C. Cuthbertson.
