ALEX. 8, RICHARDSON’S7EXCEL- LENT PAPER BEFORE THE 2D BAP TIST LITERARY ASSOCIATION. ~A DISTINGUISHED AUDIENCE] PRES- ENT, &c. Tie literary association recently organized in the eastern s°ction of the city by Prot. W. B, Johnson, held its first public exercises on list Thursday evening in the 2d Baptist church. The church was largely crowded with the b st cle- ment ofthat section of the city and many others elsewhere. The program us prepared by the com- m'ttee was carried out with but one or two exceptions. Miss J. Miner aud Madame Drew were unable to obtain their music in time so the chairmin of the pro gram committes, Mr. Maxfiel! substituted other music. ‘Ibe presideat, W. Calvin Chase, open- ed the exeicises in a few brief re marks, follow d with prayer by Rev. J. Harvey Anderson, and the regding of tee minures of the last meeiing by the secreiary M s- Lizzie Mason. The president then appointed the following ex ecntive committee: A. St. A Smith, Ausa Ficklin, C.F. Ban- dy, H. Price Wiiliams, H. B. Frianer. Prof. W. B. Jolnson, Misses LO. Cooper, and Jennie Minor. ‘The essayist of the even- ing, PROF. A. S. RICHARDSON was introduced and discussed the philosophy of sin. Prof. Rich~ ardson said that he wouid review the popular idea of the origiu of siu in the world; to give reasons to show that the idea of a per sonal devil or of demonology is not supported by the teaching of Mo-es or of Christ, aud that the conduet of man is not inflneuced hy such an extraneous spirit, but amere relic of barbarism. The violation of Divine law as re vealed by Moses and of haman law founded thereon is the definition of sin. And finaléy to support the proposition that man’s animal excesses is the resulc of the weakoess of his meral con- stitution and will power; giving the animal propensities dominion over man. And this the phil- osophy of sin. The professor then jgave an ilustraties of the guden This be suid forms the basis ef commen idea asto the origin of sin; that this orig nal sin has been entailed upon the entire human janaily, being born in’ sin and that thesime tempter which beguiled Eve continues to beguile mankind, influencing his conduct, enticing vr otherwise compelling bim to disobey the law of his Maker. dle gave several beauti- ful illustrations and compari-ons to substantiate his argument. At times he became logical and elo- quent. The paper tor diction and rhetoric surpassed any that has been read for sometime. At the conclusion of its reading it was open tor discussion. Rev J. H. Anderson took the ground that sin existed before it got into the world. While he admitted tat the paper tor its grammatical con- struction &c., were good he disa- greed to au extent with the ar- gument advanced by Prof. Rich- ardson. Mr. Geo. H. Richardson supported the paper in his usual eloquent style. Mr. A. St. A. Sunth, as usual, threw the audi-. ence in‘o merriment by his keen and logical arguinent. Mr. Smith admitted that be was in deep wa- ter and if some one could tell him why he sioned &c he would like for them to do so. Col. Geo. M. Arnold said he thought the colored pe ple had too mnen faith already. He wautea to see some of them handle the plow, the pick and the like. He also aia that he had no knowledge ot a personal God and if there is one, which he doubted not, he had tailed to dis- cover why some people were al- lowed to kill and butcher others and get off. Prof. Johnson took issue with the speaker and de- clared the existence of a God; that many things were a ewed by. Him to show his power. "The exercises throughout were v ery iustructive and inieresting. Next Thursday evening, Rev. J.
