as the Bible was considered the
best book extant, the children of
our schools should become familiar
with il.
The debate upon the affirmative
was then taken up by J. III. Stevens.
The speaker said that he had been
taught in youth that the Bible was
a holy Book, inspired by God, and
coming direct from his hand. 1t
had been impressed upon his mind
that the Book of God should be
reverenced; that he had retained
these impressions through life, and
that he now considered the Bible
too sacred a Book to be trified
with. That we placed the arith-
metic, geography and spelling book
in the hands Of the pupils Of our
schools, and insisted that they
should be committed to memory
that they should be thoroughly
studied and understood. The pupil
was given TO understand that Mey
were Of great Importance, But
under our present manner Of read
ing the Bible in school, the schol-
airs were assembled from morning
to morning, in the chapel, and the
teacher reads chapter, when it is
thrown aside to be no more thought
of until the next day, and so on,
week out and week in. In this
way the child learned to look upon
its school books as of more impor-
lance than the Bible. He thought,
it was best that it should
not be read at all.
In Justice to Mr.. Stevens we
would say that he did not know
until noon of the day on which the
debate took place, that he was 60
ing to take part. That owing to
the absence and sickness of those |
who had been previously assigned |
to this place, he was prevailed upon
to take a part, and hence had no
chance for preparing.
The debate was closed by r. J.
Kelley. He at first reviewed some
Of the arguments Of the affirmative,
'eferring to the acknowledgement
,y one of the speakers Of being on
he unpopular side, and thought it
that he was on the
wrong side, as the people were gen.
,rally right. He thought it was
quite evident that those who OPP
posed the reading of the Bible in
'ur schools were the very ones that
opposed its reading in all cases,
10Th in and out Of the schools. He
bought this class would, if they
lad power, prohibit its reading in
ii Protestant Churches that the
uestion for discussion was whether
re would now allow this class to
rive this Book from our schools.
{ was in our schools, and should it
emain He had not heard any
rood reason why il should be. The
Bible was one of the most remark
BILE Books that had ever been
1t contained the finest
pecimens Of logic, the greatest dis
LAY of oratory, and the only true
way to life eternal.
Music was next in order, follow
d by an original poem by Prof. +.
!. Dewey, entitled "the Flight of
he Muses." The Prof. acquitted
himself very highly in the compos-
ng and rendering of this poem.
We shall endeavor to obtain the
'oem for publication at some future
ime.
The exercises were closed by
'iece Of music entitled "Good
sight"
We are happy to congratulate all
Who took part ia the exercises up
N the pleasant and successful man
Ter in which they executed their
'arts, and also the Alpena Literary
society in having such a grand
uccess in their first public. Long
nay the society live, and success
al may be all its undertakings.
