Elders War1ick and Bogard
 Make Fur Fly So to Speak

days debate, at Oak Grove which closed Monday.
 The above quotations may not be correct verbatim etliteratim, but they are true to substance, and serve in manner to show that "fur flew" during the course of these discussions.
 The net results of these stren- ous debates may be summed up briefly as follows:
 No. of converts to Baptist
 No. of converts to Chris
 No. of souls saved ........ .OOO
 During the six days of the de- bate the following propositions were discussed:
 1. The Scriptures teach that the Church, Kingdom of Christ, was set up or established before the death of Christ. Bogard affirm ed; Warlick denied.
 2. The Scriptures teach that the Church, Kingdom of Christ, was set up or established on the first Pentecost after the Resurrection of Christ. Warlick affirmed i; Bogard denied.
 8. The Scriptures teach that the sinner is so depraved that in his conviction and conversion the Holy Spirit exercises power or influence, destinct from and in addition to the written word. Be- gard affirmed; Warlick denied.
 4. The Scriptures teach that baptism to believing penitent is for Gin order to) the remission of past (alien) sins. Warlick af- firmed; Bogard denied.
 5. The Scriptures teach that the sinner obtains remission of sins in answer to prayer before bap- tism. Bogard affirmed; Warlick denied.
 6. The Scriptures teach that a saint or child of God may so apostatize as to be finally lost. Warlick affirmed; Bogard denied.

 True, the anxious inquirer after the truth, if there were such, who was disposed to turn deaf ear to the personalities and doctrinal abuses indulged in by the speakers, may have been benefited, for it is fact beyond question that each champion in this debate is a deep scholar, we'll equipped for the defense of the doctrine of the church he repre-. sented.
 The friends of Eld. Joe s. Warlick, who is editor of the Gospel Guide of Dallas, Texas, say that he is the greatest living exponent of the doctrine of the Christian church as authorized by Alexander Campbell, and there is no reason to dispute this claim. The bible is to him seemingly whata primmer is to a student of the eighth grade. He has mas tered it's contents as few schol- ars of the age have succeeded in doing and withal he is a speak CT of eloquence and logic, and had he left out personalities and few prejudices that seemed to beset him, his arguments if de- livered as lectures could not have been characterized other wise than powerful sermons.
 Eld. Ben M. Bogard has been a familiar figure in the Baptist circles of Arkansas for some years. He was the leader of the "generaI association" movement that threatened for some time to split the Baptist organizations of state in half. He took exceptions to the work of the Southern Baptist convention and the Baptist state convention and sought to establish other organizations for cooperation in the matter of state and foreign missions. From both the pulpit and through his paper, the Landmark Baptist, he waged a campaign that closely rivaled in bitterness some of the late political wars. He is essentially
