We have no answer nor do
we have an answer for ques-
tions raised by startling statis-
tics appearing recently in “U.S.
News & World Report”. There
were 50,000 abortions in 1969.
Then came a landmark liberal
abortion law adopted by New
York State in 1970. In that year
the number of abortions rose to
193,500. The following year the
figure was 586,800. Another
landmark decision by the U.S.
Supreme Court came in 1973
curtailing the right of States to
ban abortions. In that year the
figure rose to 745,000. In 1974
there were 900,000 abortions
and last year the number rose
to one million.
A million lives snuffed out in
one year! If good old Joe were
i
Keith and Mary Ann Robinson with their children.
I
at home with such a large
group of Christians. The mis-
sion areas are usually compos-
ed of small congregations of
members bound together by a
strong tie of love. Here we
have larger groups that seem
to take each other for granted
many times. It becomes easy
for a “culture shocked mission- • unexpected situation still brings
ary to criticize and judge on a gush of Italian. Don’t
think when you hear someone
speaking in another language
I suppose the only cure for this
is to go to work and try to help
others learn the joy and love
that can be had in service.
Now is the time to practice
what you have been preaching
all those years! It is also a
time when the ones that have
stayed home all those years
can be understanding and lov-
ing. I don’t know of any
missionaries that want to be
put on a pedestal because of
their work and I know it can
be very embarrassing to have
everyone feeling that you have
made the supreme sacrifice
when you thought all the time
you were enjoying your life,
but it is also nice to know that
your fellow Christians are glad
to have you with them and are
interested in hearing about the
work that has been your life
for many years. We can listen
and make them feel that they
have returned “home.” That
may take time, love and under-
standing but the results will be
happy workers ' for the Lord
busy helping others.

WARREN-FLEW DEBATE DRAWS NATIONWIDE INTEREST
DENTON, TX:—The response to the “Debate of the Century”
between Dr. Thomas B. Warren and Dr. A.G.N. Flew concerning
the question of the existence of God has prompted nationwide
interest. We have received letters and reports from about twenty
states telling of their plans to attend this great event. These
reports represent all parts of the nation from New Jersey to
Florida to California. Many are bringing busloads! When we think
of those from our own area of Denton, Texas which is only 30
miles from Dallas and Fort Worth and that we have a college
population of 25,000 students here in Denton, we are made to
rejoice at the tremendous opportunity for good and the impact
this debate could have around the world.
The motels in Denton have given us some very special rates for
this debate. If you desire you could stay in a clean and
comfortable motel with good accommodations for as little as $8.00
for the entire four days. This motel has given these very special
rates for this event. Thus you can afford to come and take part in
this which promises to be the “Debate of the Century.” If you
desire a listing of motels and prices, please inform us and this
will be sent to your immediately. Please let us make your
reservations in order to get these special rates for you.
Write to: Gary Ealy or Rex Dean, co Unversity Church of
Christ, 403 Welch Street, Denton, Texas 76201.
The schedule for the four nights will be as follows:
September 20-21: Proposition — “I Know that God Does Not
Exist”. Affirmative - Dr. A.G.N. Flew. Negative — Dr. Thomas
B. Warren.
September 22-23: Proposition — “I know that God Exists”.
Affirmative — Dr. Thomas B. Warren. Negative — Dr. A.G.N.
Flew.
There is no admission charge or tickets. All materials are
they are showing off, it is
probably embarassing to them
to not be able to think jn
English.
The children have the great-
tst changes to make. They
return to a country where they
are supposed to be “natives”
but find they feel more at
home in the country where they
grew up. They find that many
young people in the church
here don’t know the joy of
teaching others, knocking
doors, or appreciate the fellow-
ship of other Christians very
much. It can be a real crisis in
their spiritual lives, and it may
take the prayers and help of
many to help them overcome.
May I suggest that all of us
profit by the experience some
of us have learned in the
mission field. Let’s use our
homes as a tool for the Lord.
We spend a lot of money on
our homes, lawns, furniture
and furnishings, so let’s use
them for the Lord’s work. We
learned in Rome that our home
was our best teaching aid. We
could invite contacts in for a
meal and a Bible study, the
young people could make our
home their meeting place, we
could offer hospitality to travel-
ing workers and tourists, we
have taken sick people in our
home to better care for them,
and our home was the center of
all the church life. Why don’t
we all take a little time and do
the same here. Sharing your
home and food with others is a
very small way of sharing your
blessings. Women all over the
world are striving to do more
work for the church, and this is
one way that we can be of
great service. It costs a little
time and money, but you can
accomplish more in an inform-
al atmosphere than can ever be
done in a church building. An
invitation to your home will be
accepted when an invitation to
attend a meeting in the church
building will be refused. Young
people will come to your home
for a Bible Class or devotion,
and ties will be more closely
formed. If you have young
people of your own, this is a
good way of seeing they have
the right friends and social
activity. Our homes can cer-
tainly be used for the glory
God.
by Mary Ann Robinson
DALLAS, TX:—(The Robin-
son family served 17 years as
missionaries in Rome, Italy.
Keith now works with VOICE
of FREEDOM Magazine and
the Military Parkway church in
Dallas, Texas. He also edits
ALTERNATIVE, a periodical
designed for Catholic and de-
nominational leaders, as a part
of his work with VOICE of
FREEDOM.)
Well, here we are on This
side of the world again! I
never thought the day would
come when we would board the
ship to leave our beloved Italy
and I can hardly describe all
the emotions we have exper-
ienced in this move.
There is just as great a
change in returning to your
native country after a long
absence as there is to entering
a new country for the first
time. We have found that
America is not as we remem-
bered and have had to learn
new customs and ways once
again.
I suppose the most important
adjustment is learning to feel changes involved in returning
to the States. For the ones
returning from a country where
English is not spoken, the
language is quite a shock.
Some words just won’t come in
English and teaching the Bible
in English is very difficult. It is
still almost impossible for me
to pray in English and any
Other staff members included Alice Strother of Plainview and
Mark vi,i’ a^as Joseph Stalin, as
“good old Joe.” Complaints
were raised throughout our
nation since it was common
knowledge that Stalin, among
other misdeeds, had caused the
death of a million of his own
people by means of starvation,
forced labor in Siberia, and
outright murder. How in the
name of common decency,- it
was asked, could anyone be so
ruthless as to implement the
death of a million human
beings?
