Last evening Rev. C. N. Field made a very interesting address to the St. Paul's Society at the rooms in Grays Hall.

He took no text but his subject was "St. Paul's Basis of Morality." When Satan tempted the Lord it was with the suggestion that He was not the Son of God. All temptations must be answered in the strength of this suggestion. The independent power to gratify oneself is the basis of morality. Men too often thin that religion and morality differ and the idea causes much forced religion. Satan is our personal enemy and pledged to destroy us; this we must keep in mind. He hates us because humanity represents God. There is also a tendency to attribute all evil to influences; this is a dangerous fault. In fighting temptation one must remember the immense power of Satan. Above all things we should learn obedience. Christ was not tempted in the wilderness because God had not willed that this should be the time that Christ should prove his power. Christ is the only man whose life was written before he lived.

St. Paul regarded himself as a member of the body of Christ, and held his body sacred because it was of Christ. He said we should assist each other because we are the children of God. Men hold this idea too loosely now. St. Paul spoke more broadly about temptation than any other, and believed that one of the great causes of immorality is that we do not call things by their right names.

After the address Mr. Field spoke very strongly in favor of the foundations of a club for the poor in Boston in connection with the St. Pauls Society. The English Universities have founded such clubs and have had great success. The support of such a club would probably cost $1,000.
