Mr. Whitman told of a boastful, vociferous, rock-ribbed atheist who was dared by his cronies to go out into a cemetery at midnight, hammer a cross into the ground, and then shout three times, "There is NO God!"
He accepted the dare and went to the cemetery, knelt down and hammered a cross into the ground. While kneeling, he shouted, "There is NO God! There is NO God! There is NO God!" He started to rise up to leave, but he was held fast and could not move. Something held him fast, yet there was no visible hand upon him. It seemed as though an invisible power was replying to his shouts. The shock of it so frightened the atheist that he dropped dead.
What held him fast? It was a very simple thing. He had hammered the wooden cross through the hem of his overcoat.
