THEOLOGICAL DEBATE.
For some time past there has been a likelihood of a public debate on a theological question being arranged between the Rev. M. W. Green, minister of the King-street Chapel, and Mr. Charles Bright, and on Tuesday a committee meeting was held, at which a subject was decided upon. Mr. Green and Mr. Hislop, on the one side, met Mr. Bright and Mr. Stout on the other, and, after some discussion, the following proposition was agreed on : — ." The Divine Origin of Christianity," accepting the following definition of terms : 1. By "Divine Origin," it is understood to be of Divine origin m the sense m which no other religion is. 2. In the term "Christianity," it is understood that there are included the Deity of Jesus and His death as ah atonement for man's sins. Mr. Green affirms ; Mr Bright denies. A working committee is to be appointed to make the necessary 1 arrangements, and the debate will probably take place the week after next, m. Dunedin.
