Religious Discussion in Marion
By Editor
RELIGIOUS DISCUSSION IN MARION.—For some evenings past a discussion has been progressing in the Christian church, which has attracted, perhaps the largest audiences that have ever assembled in Marion. The spacious building, including the aisles and every window and corner, has been crowded night after night. The question under discussion has been this:—"Each of the ten commandments given on mount Sinai are194now binding on all men"—Mr. Cornell in the affirmative—Mr. McConnell in the negative. The debate closed last Monday evening, so far as this question is concerned. Both of the gentlemen are able speakers and did justice to the question in dispute. As it has been charged that we were partial to Mr. McConnel, we are compelled to offer it as our belief, that both of the disputants are in error. We believe that the ten commandments are now binding upon all men, but that the Sabbath day has been rightfully changed from the seventh to the first day of the week. But the Herald is not now, nor will it ever be, a sectarian paper, hence we will not argue our point. The discussion of another question commenced Tuesday evening.—Marion Herald.
