Yesterday’s answer:
a.
Who is the
head of your church in this area?
“At another
time Elder Grant was challenged by a very eminent Baptist preacher, named
Baldwin, to a discussion. Brother Grant consented. The place chosen was the
fine, large church of his proud and imperious antagonist. Mr. Baldwin was
described to me, as a man, overbearing in his manner—a regular browbeater. When
the time came for the discussion, the house was densely crowded. Umpires were
chosen, and everything was ready to proceed, when Brother Grant arose and said:
‘Mr. Baldwin, I would like to ask you a question before we proceed any
farther.’ ‘Certainly so,’ said Mr. Baldwin. ‘Who stands at the head of your
church in south-west Virginia?’ Mr. Baldwin very quickly and austerely replied,
‘I do, sir: I do.’ ‘All right,’ said Brother Grant; ‘I wished to know that I
had a worthy foe.’ Mr. Baldwin looked a little confused for a moment, and then
said; ‘Mr. Grant, I would like to ask you, who stands at the head of your
church in south-west Virginia?’ Brother Grant arose and with bowed head
replied, ‘Jesus Christ, sir.’ The shock was electrical. This inspired answer
completely disarmed the proud foe, and he the humble servant of God again came
off victor.”
