Landmarkers at Texarkana, 1905

“Landmarkers at Texarkanna,” by O. L. Hailey is an interesting piece in Word and Way (Kansas City, Missouri, Thursday, March 30, 1905, pp. 5-6). It contains the viewpoint of an outsider observing the organization of the General Association of Baptists in the United States of America in Texarkana in 1905. Hailey’s perspective may be somewhat unique, in that he both supported the Southern Baptist Convention rather than the General Association – and was the son-in-law of J. R. Graves, who many would consider the “father” of the “Landmark” movement.

Ironically, it was the “Landmarkers at Texarkana” and not his Southern Baptist Convention that reprinted Hailey’s book J. R. Graves: Life, Times and Teachings.
