Brother James D. Bales met
Woosley Teller, atheist, in a ser-
ies of debates in the municipal
auditorium in Charleston, W. Va.
Two nights Teller was supposed
to afirm that “Atheistic natural-
ism furnished a rational expla-
nation of the universe and a basis
for morality.”
The last two nights Brother
Bales did affirm that the Bible is
the Word of God. Some 2,000
people were in attendance every
night in spite of the extremely
hot weather and the fact that
the . auditorium had no cooling
system.
Mr. Teller never tried to mea-
sure up to his proposition but de-

“Our Bible,” a book in honor
of the six Abilene Christian Col-
lege faculty members who re-
t^iW in 1951, has been prepared
by members and two graduates
of the A.CC Bible department
and will be published in early
fall by the ACC press.
Dr. Frank Pack, professor, is
editor of the volume.
It is dedicated to Charles H.
Roberson, James F. Cox, R. C.
Bell, Mrs. Clara Bishop, Mrs. Ora
McFarland and Dr. Howard L.
Schug, the six who retired after
giving the college a combined
total of 164 years of service.

pended amost entirely upon the
psychology of ridicule. But Bro-
ther Bales matched sarcasm with
sarcasm enough to match Teller
in this field, but yet took enough
time to set forth clear and un-
answerable arguments. Several
people who had been known to
be of a skeptical turn in Charles-
ton are now interested in Chris-
tianity.
Of all the debates I have
read or heard (and I have
made somewhat of a hobby of
studying debates) this was one
of the best I have known.
Those who had heard these two
men debate before expressed
themselves as being disap-
pointed in the showing that
Teller made. They said he was
at his weakest and Brother
Bales at his best. Brother
Bales pressed the fact that if
atheism be true there can be
no basis whatever for morality
and no rational explanation
for anything.
I sp^ak the sentiment of the
brethren here when I say that
Brother Bales is one of the best
equipped that can be found for
a debate of this nature. The
