Excerpt from Millennial Star, Vol. 66: September 15, 1904After I had spoken at our second night's meeting, a gentleman arose and challenged me to a discussion. I told him that before I could accept it, he must tell me his standing in society, and the name of the church to Which he belonged. This he declined to do, whereupon Brother John Lyon, Sen, arose and said he was a Campbellite. Thanking Brother Lyon, I told the gentle man that I would accept his challenge, naming my subject. At the same time I told the audience that I did not think the gentleman would meet me, so if the discussion did not come off, I was not to be blamed. It turned out as I had predicted. There was no discussion, but they sent for Mr. Servier. He came and gave them a lecture, but kept out of my way.The parsons of the various sects now began a bitter war against us, but still our work progressed and members were added to the Church. About this time a new sect arose in Kilmarnock, and was rapidly spreading through the country. Its founder was Rev. James Morrison, and he had some peculiar doctrines. I once heard a preacher declare in a meeting that the Bible is the Holy Ghost, for the Spirit is the word, and the word is the Spirit. In speaking to him after meeting I told him that it was the most convenient doctrine I had ever heard because a person may be in the worst state of wickedness, and by simply having a Bible in his pocket have the Holy Spirit with him.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
