Public Robate- "The Divine Origin of Christianity."

Tiik dobale on this subject between Messrs Thomas Walkor and 0. Aldridgo was ro sumed in the Lorne-stroot Hall last evening. Mr Aldridge said that beyond what ho had said on the previous night he cculd adduce far more chronological data. How ever, he would leave this, and he believed that when the verbiage used by Mr Walker in reply had passed from the roindß of tho audience, the facta would remain and bear fruit in their own good time Ho then dealt further with tho passage, "He Bat on them,'' holding to his original assertion. He thon proceeded on his second lino of affirma tion, viz., the adoptability of Christianity to human need. He said that he would be satisfied if he could set tho audience to think of Christianity an appealing to the highest reason. People said that the religions of the Chinese and of tho Hindoos were good moral systems, but Christianity (a geerless system) was far more. To cay that hristianity was only a moral systom was to say what was untrud. The mistake that sceptics made with regard to Christianity as an oxtromo systom was that if they looked at it they could form a conception of what it is. It so happened that Chrintianity was one step, and one step only, and had to bo taken in connection witli what went before and its destined end. Christianity was at peaco witli tho Old Testamont declaration of God's purposes. It wan his purpose to bless all tho nations of the race, to bring about a good government, He then reforred to tho fulfilment of the prophocy concorning tho Hebrew raco, and next Bpoke of the' messago conveyed by John, " Repent yo, for the Kingdom of Heavon is at hand." God was calling out from tho nations a people for His namo to form a holy nation, a peculiar pooplo, to whom shall come tho administration that shall bloaa tho world. His noxt statomout was tliat " Christianity wan novor designed to convert tho whole world." Even within the Church ittclf would there arise men teaching pervorso things, and loading on to ovil. Christianity was of divino origin, bocauso its predictions had been fulfilled. It contained within itself those things it hud nover come into human thought to framo. While predictions therein woro boing fulfilled now, it lod us on to predictions yet to be fulfilled, which .ho had a logitimato right to conclude, would occur in God's own time.

Mr Walkkr, in reply, said that his friond tokl them that his (the speaker's) infidelity was tho proof of the divino origin of Chris tianity because it had boon prophesied. His friond also said that Christianity was novor intended to convert the world ; it was intondod to porvert the world, and thoso who originated it know it; thoy were wieo as sorponts. Ho asked Mr Aldridgo to adduce ovidonco of tho authenticity and gonuinenoss of tho prophocioß of Daniol, the one chain upon which ho still harped. He also asked for evidence showing that the (lospels wero written when they were said to bo written,and genuine Itwasoasytomakea fulfilmontof aprophecy afterithadoccurrod. Mr _Walkor 'non quoted tho prophecy of Daniol referred to previously, emphasising "That after threescore and two weoks the Moasiah shall bo cut off," and asked what it mount, adding that it moant that Christ livod on tho oarth for 434 years, and he only lived ,'SO. Then in ono wook moro there was to havo como tho consummation, and tlio ond of tlio world should havo como long ago. Further he quoted, " This gon oratiou Hhnll not puss away before all thoso things aro fulfilled," adding that that gon oraticn had passed away, and tho tilings Had not been fulfillori. What wore thoy to boliovo ? Christian writers flatly denied tho application of tho " weeks " of Daniol to Jesus. It was assorted that Christianity (■ould not originate in tho minds of men. Why, what was there that was peculiar to Christianity ? Not healing tho sick or raising Iho dead, both of which wcro told of in early rolif>ions and in nnciont prophecy, He also quoted several authorities to show that Christianity contained nothing that had not boon connected with a series of onuses goning boforo, and that the Christianity of tho present Church was practised thousands of years before Chriet, not ono of tho Christian virtues being then forgotten. Then thoy wanted tlm divine authority of tho Bible to ho ost»bli-<hed, and he challonged his frienrl to do it, quot ing various postages, and alleging discrop nnclcs in tho bookp, Lot his friend meet those dillicultw. A work of Almighty God should bo in such a way written in every chapter and in every verfo. as to loavo no discrepancy. Surely, if ho could point out mistakes in the Holy Ghost's'writing, ho had a risrht to bo an infidol.

Mr Auißinfii; anid he had not the slightest doubt Mr Walker would likn to pet him on to contradiction and from tlio path marked out where ho could not follow. What had the discrepances in tho (lospols to do with ■tho lino ho had laid down, tho divino origin of Christianity ? Mr Wallsor had not pro duced tho palace eiving tho death of Herod before Christ wns born, in response to his request. Christianity had lifted men up from tho lowest degradation and hud made men of them ; it had mndoold philoso phers sprinp back into tho darkness from which (hoy camo. His friend had' not dealt with tho historical accuracy of the Book of Daniol, for it could bo proved that llw evonts hero recorded wore writton by one who saw them. Mr Walker might deny from morning till night but he could not prove that tho Hook of Daniel was not historically correct. Herond tho passage concerning tho 70 weeks of Daniel, which ho affirmed ngain was within verifiable roach, through profane history, by tho canon of Ptolemy and other sources. The lino of othica waß the only ono his friond could travol with safety, for the morality of Christianity was not the grand schema it solf. God promised tho land to Abraham and his seed for over. Ho had not had it truly, but thia did not conclude that ho would never have it, for other similar pre dictions wore being verified every day, and ho believed that God would give that land to Abraham and his seed for ever. Mr Walker paid that as tho pro phecy was "for ever" ho wondered how anything could bo cut out of it, and then went on to urge further inaccuracy concerning tho prophecy of 70 weeks. He had left nothing out. As to proving that Herod's death, the Book itself proved that by allusion. He had followed his friend, but he had besides done something to disprove tho authority of tho Gospel, which he described as anonymous narratives, having no connection with tho alleged writers, who mutually destroyod each others ovidonco. They could not be rogardod as moro than human ovidonce. Surely he was justified in asking for proot of their oxistence and gonuinenoss in tho first contury, in tho first half of tho Bocond century ; prove that and ho would give in. It could not bo done ; no scholar in the world could do it; facts wore against them. As to Chris tianity's glorious moral schouio, why, it told them that "woman wns to keopsilence," that shewas"nover to have authority, '> while man was to " submit unto the powers that be or bo damned." Why, it would en courage ovory trade that kept the poor down. Evory grand reform the world hod made had arisen out of resistance against the powers that be, and he did not accept it. r

Mr Aldmdgr said that if ho affirmed the divine origin of Christianity, he by no means affirmed the deedß they had done under that name. As to the giving "for ever " that meant when ho gives it he will give it 'for over." He had not given it yet. In his last speech ho simply wished to ro assert his affirmations, which his friend had not touched but had flown to tho common overy - day teaching of Froethought! Scholars had proved that ho Gospels existed in the beginning of tho second cen tury That is, for those sensible to proof. Christianity had never failed yet, and it would never fail. He reached this conolu- Ti a^. "*?* Imcl beGn do»0- «>d he con cluded that they world be fulfilled accord- H SJ° l^ iMli- Christianity was effecting that which nothing else could do. chancing the world, and that which would accomplish thismustbeofdivineorigin.andnothingles" In conclusion he asserted that tho pVodic' tion upon which he built his argument was sound and untouched, forming aori.ll i which nothing on earth could ever alter. He ai so asked M r Walker if Cvreniuswas not Governor of Syria at tho birth of Christ pointing out that denial waa not disproof: judge and act accordingly brlnJUT*?- Baidthnt his °PP«»en* had brought for his argument one single fact or wh-T/ di8 P«tedb°ok, tho existence of which he could not prove. He had asked Mr Aldridge to define Christianity ; fW S? d°ne S0; and he »W that there was .nothing in the Book to encourage crime. In reply, Mr Walker claimed were uncharitable, and that DursT cution was their natural outcome As to

had ccrne, We were indebted to all the philosophers, learned leeaons, and increased our stock of virtuo.froin the old philosopher, and hirtorieH of Mexico, Donottell him that tho divine origin of Christianity rested upon a fablo. At the present momont, tho temples of knowledge wcro apart from Christian instruction, indeed tho whole in telloctual world was drifting out of Chris tianity, and infidelity was moßt prevalent. There was tho most advanced civilisation found Argument was on the side of infi delity, and ho was justified in being an infidel.

On the motion of Mr Aujridoe, seconded by Mr Walker, a cordial vote of thanks by acclamation was accorded to Mr Hill for his kindness in conducting the debate. The Chairman said he hud only performed a pleasing duty, and had no trouble through out tho debate. Ho thought it only fair to tho other side that somebody else should bo chairman for tho following evenings.

This concluded the first debate.

CORRESPONDENCE.

Pay Your Bills.

(To the Editor.)

Sir,—ln referring to the crowds celebrating the holidays and attending the theatre at tho performance of Dion Boucicault, you would think there is plenty of money among the peoplo, and things not so bad after all. This all looks very well, but bow about the tradespeople and their bills 1 I can assure you that with us tho money cornea in very slowly indeed. You ask tho butcher, or baker, or grocor, or milkman, and you will hour tho samo talc -they cannot get the money. Now, sir, lam ono of the last to interfere with people's pleasure, but surely two or three months is too long to lay out of our money, and I, for one, object to wait so long. Let us have holidays by all means, but let the public be honest.—l am, etc., A Struugw.nii Tradesman.

The "Wedding Garment."

(To tho Editor.)

Sir,—l bog to draw the attention of your ablo correspondent "Zamiel" to the " Wedding Garment" of the missionors. It has been often said that the practice of confession and absolution has a debilitating effect on tho moral and mental fibre, as seen in criminal statistics and tho fields of science. The "Wedding Garment" ex hibits the practice in its incipient stago, and gives an insight into the cause of that effect. In page 9, &c, the peni tent, "in the presence of God," writes down his Bins, a long black cataloguo, and amongthem "petting up my own opinion above the Church's teaching, needlessly attending other places of wor ship— disiespectful to God's ministers— noglecting acts of reverenco in church (I supposing crossing and bowing), neglecting holy days and fast days of the Church, dis oboyir.g spiritual pastors, or obeying them sullenly, and neglecting their advico." He thon, if his conscience is unquiet, goes to get absolution — " I confess to God and to you, and I humbly and heartily desire you to doclaro and pronounco to mo, being penitont, the absolution of my sins." Thereupon the priest says "I absolvo thoe from all thy sins, &c." Happily wo Protestants have not yot, to any extent, been affectod by such teaching; but I should bo glad if "Zamiel" would think out tho effect that it must have upon tho weak and superstitious. Lot him look at tho above " sins" dispersed amongst other 3of v black and deadly character, without any distinction, and pay whether confession and absolution are not an engine devised by priestcraft for tho enslaving of tho human mind.—Yours, TnUTH.

Carpenters and Others.

(To the Editor )

Sir,—" N.Z." may deem himself woll quali fied to adviso "Carpenters and other mechanics "as to "acting manfully," hut none tho less handicraftsmen will use their own judgment. ll N.Z." is probably rather given to 'measuring other people's corn by his own bushel/ and views the action of the Union in a biassed manner, possibly from a master-builder's standpoint. He fancies that "all onlookers'" think the Union "senseless and tyrannical." Seneeless ness does not usually make provision for future need, as by banding together tho Union men have wieely done, nor can they justly bo called " tyrunnical," as no body of men that wore worthy of tho name of men would join a "strike" t-imply bocauso of being overawed by fear or force, as the word tyrannical implios. The action of tho masters.might with moro show of reason be upheld had the contracts on which tho men havo struck been taken when the present doprossion was at its worst, but it is well known that tho Arcade, the con tractor for which was the first to initiate tho reduction, was com menced twclvo months ago; and it may reasonably bo assumed that, regarding the principal buildings now in course of com pletion in tho city, tlio standard wages for competent hands, viz., 10s per day, was allowed for ; thus the difference gained by the reduction would only go to swell the builder's profit, and at. tho satno timo deprive 1 he journeymen of part of their just duo. ''HZ,." comforts us with the prospect of "things righting themselves by and-by ;" but it is far eu-ier to bring prices of {joods and wages down than it is to rcstuie them to their proper standard after: and if the masters are allowed to insert tho thin ond of the wodge, they may thou drivo it homo at thoir leisure. In other words, Is reduction now only pavos tho way for another Is reduction at a future lit opportunity, and if the men tamely sub mit to wages being reduced they may yet havo to complain of an increase of hours as well. Contentment and patience are ex cellent virtues iv their place, but they do not consist, as " N.Z." seems to think, in allowing ourselves to bo paid atrates entirely fixed by thoßO for whom the work is done. With all due deference to "N.Z." I think tho Union Society aro worthy of all praiee and support from all, either Union or non- Union carpenters and joiners, and trust that in this matter they will not yield till their purpose is gained.—Yours, &c, A Non Society Joiner.

The Carpenters' Strike.

(To the Editor.)

Sik, —The community are indebted to you for your candid and able articlo of tho 21st nift. referring to the carpenters' strike. Your contemporary, as usual, can see but tho employers' side of tho question, and those classes most accustomed to give expression to thoir views in print all stem to run unaccountably after the same lead. It was therefore mo9t gratifying to find you stating plainly the right of the artisan to use all legitimate means to obtain tho best prico for the ono thing he has to sell, namely, his labour. The crocodile's tears over the wives and children may bo spared, and we can also dispense with tho comparison of the carpenter with the vendor of beef. There are not likely to be many amongst those on strike who cannot main tain themselves for come little time, and there is such a thing known in the colonies as credit. I trust the carpenters will con tinue to frustrate this mean attempt on tho part of a fow contractors to make a profit out of the distresses of their fellow creature?. —I am, &c, Fair Play.

The Rival San Francisco Lines.

(To the Editor.)

Sir, —So it appoara the presont 'Ftisco sorvico is threatened with thorough oppo sition. Tho old boats are to get the bulk of the trade, and tho new ones will not bo able to live, for Mr Pearce is going to starve thorn out. But I fancy he does not know the real grit of tho article he is opposing, and he may yet find it to his interest to sue for "peace with honour." The out-and out beating given ths Zoalandia must have somewhat cooled the ardour of the opposition. Before leaving 'Frisco the Zealandia ' people boasted they would distance the Alameda In smooth water the Alotneda might hold her own, but with a head wind and sea she would Ye nb; where. Well,the Zealandia experieno; ,': just what her admirers said she wanted, u.iushe suffered an 18 hours defeat to Honolulu; and if this were not enough, she got a 24 hours drubbing from Honolulu to Auckland, yet the Alameda is said to have made very fair weather of it She suffered no damage, nor did she lose a boat. I can quite imagine Captain Webber's astonishment to lind the Alameda running away from him in tho face of a heavy head sea and gale. Its no use asserting that the victory was ouly achieved at a heavy cost The position was an undoubted desperate one for the new contractors, and they had to put forth unusual exertions to prevent being cornered. These could not be effective without money, and they preferred a sacri fice of dollars to breaking faith with the Governments. The manner in which the difficulties have been met must have astonished Mr Pearce and his friends, and convinced them that if they will fight they must. No doubt the Alameda cracked on a bit, but it is sheer nonsense to wish one to suppose that the Zea latdia waß not doing tho mbjo','' She was

prepared for the tn.ti^"*s^^' shows she ran her bit ri^^-%T^ landirt round voyagih** « «sfil pnxont tin, do ,„ ™S »■> o, jM» £ Massage occasion of her best T«Z jng the Alameda'etS^l^ lulu to 5 hours 45 minute" i at .BbnS made the paeaage to"ffiSS *M 1& 2 hours 16 minute!
