Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Influence of Christianity Admission to the room was by ticket, price sixpence each, for each evening, of which an equal number was taken by the Committees of the respective Disputants. All the tickets issued were eagerly bought up, and there was a demand for many more tickets than could be supplied. First Day, Tuesday, February 19th. The Discussion commenced a few minutes after seven o´clock, at which time the room was densely crowded. The Disputants were placed at each end of a large table upon the platform, where also sat the Chairmen and the Umpire. Mr. Halliwell first presented himself to the audience, and said - I will begin the business by stating the terms on which our friends Mr. Barker and Mr. Jones meet this evening. The question, as you would see by the printed handbills, is confined within very narrow limits, and is to the following effect: - "First, Whether Christianity be the cause of all the crime and misery in our country; and secondly, Whether Christianity be not the cause of good wherever it operates, and good of every kind." Mr. Barker undertakes to prove that Christianity is not the cause of the misery and crime that abound in this country; that the tendency of Christianity is to produce only good; that, wherever it operates it produces good, and good of every kind. "Condition - That in the debate nothing shall be taken for Christianity but the system of Jesus Christ, as laid down in the New Testament."
