This discussion was between Bro. G. P. Bauser and one whom they called "Dr." Terry, a Baptist preacher. They were both colored, but rather unequally yoked together. Bro. Bauser is a quiet, unassuming man, yet he possesses a wonderful knowledge of the scriptures. He is a natural logician, who knows when he has proved a thing as well as he knows when his opponent has not done so. Dr. Terry is a blustering, overbearing speaker, who has his material all written out. Some of it bears on the subject, but much only remotely. He has considerable native ability, which, if he had the truth, he could use quite effectively on an opponent. The first think which he should do would be to throw away all of his preparations for debating and take his Bible and arrange some of its plain facts in a way to use them in the very language of the scriptures; but, in order to do this, he would have to cut loose from the Baptist faith and cease trying to prove its inconsistencies.
"I noticed that these colored debaters treated each other with great respect and both the speakers and the congregation behaved themselves extremely well. Some white audiences and debaters could improve themselves in this respect by imitating these colored people." Bro. Bauser deserves a support for his loyalty to the word of God. I predict for him great usefulness in the Master's service.
