Lea affirming, and Esq. James A. Sanders
I. N. Buyers denying. The judges were,
Milton McRady, President, John I. Derry
perry, Thomas Blair, VIM. Blair, Jr., Jim
Rhodes. After an exciting discussion, the
question was decided in the negative. Mr. |
Addison, leader of the affirmative side, |
requests us to state that before the discussion |
came off he insisted on having as judges
those who were neither MasOns nor Chris |
tians, but Mr.. Sanders, leader Ofthe negative |
side, objected upon the ground that sound |
and competent men of that class could not |
be found in the crowd. After the discussion |
was over, NJ. Sanders stated to the crowd, |
ave will never debate this question under |
any circumstances; Masonry has debated |
itself for over three hundred years. ant |
needs no debate now" Mr.. Addison then |
challenged the fraturnity to debate the |
same question there four weeks from that |
day, which challenge has not yet been ac- |
ePnfpd.
