q End Of a ta,llp Religious Debate.
4 The religi5ds. debate that has held
the attention of thu large crowds in
attendance since Tuesday last at INDIE
pendence, La., closed Saturday even
ing at 5 o'clock. The subject discuss
ed Saturday was "a Child Of God can
so far apostatize as to be lost" Rev.
J j. O. S. Wallick, Christian, afirma-
! tive; Rev. NJ. G.. Milburn, Baptist,
negative. The debate was not so ex'
citing as on Friday. Each divine en-
deavored to convince by eyllogistic ar
,, gument. So close was the contest that
a decision could not be arrived at. II
is not thought that the debate will en-
tire]y ameliorate the intense feeling
that exists between these denomina
= tions in this section. About tifteer
Baptist ministers have been in constant
/, attendance, while only two Christian
u ministers were here.
