The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1902-07-19

With last nights session the Catholic
summer school closed it's second week,
which has been even more successful
than was the first week. Those in
| charge say that in attendance and
| general interest the school has already
| far surpassed their most enthusiastic
! anticipations. The movement to make
| st. Paul the permanent location of the
! school is being pushed with more vigor
than ever, and it very likely to be sue
| cessful.
Today the summer school delegates
and their friends will enjoy an outing
| at Lake Minnetonka. They will leave
st. Paul at o'clock this morning from
the Minneapolis & st. Louis depot, and
go to the lake by train, after which
| they will enjoy a steamboat ride on
the lake and hold a picnic. Returning
trains will leave the lake at 4: 80 and
1880.
Dr.. Adams Tonight.
The house of representatives at the
capitol was crowded to the doors and
beyond at last nights session. DR..
Henry Austin Adams was to have de-
livered the last of his lectures, but a
telegram was received from him at
Appleton saying that when he arrived
there he found that through mistake
he had been advertised to lecture last
night, instead of Thursday night, and
it was impossible to change the ar
rangements made, and he was there
fore unable to return to st. Paul. He
| said he would come back and give
another lecture if so desired. It is un-
necessary to say that another lecture
by DR.. Adams was desired, and accord
ingly it was arranged to hold a session
this evening at which DR.. Adams will
lecture on "Wyndhurst, the Greatest
Catholic Leader of Modern Times
In DR.. Adams absence a general
programme was contributed by st.
Paul talent. There were vocal solos
by John Gehan, Henry Soucheray,
| Frank Rosenthal and Alfred Souch-
| cray, songs by the Knights of Column
| bus quartette, a violin solo by Miss
| Hoyden, and a violin duo by Misses
Hayden and Schuette.
Good Thing for st. Paul.
Mr.. c. D. O'Brien delivered a brief
| address of marked wit and wisdom, as
Mr.. O'Brien's talks always are He
| said that the Catholic Summer schools
success was a great thing for st. Paul
| and for the Catholic church, and it en-
| phasiZed the free and untrammeled OPP
portunities which Catholics in the
| Northwest had, as well as the sturdy
| vigor and progressive nature of the
| church in the Northwest. st. Paul
would be the better, he said, for the in
! tellectual and spiritual influence of the
summer school, and the students would
| go home feeling that they had derived
! great blessing from the contact with
! the high type of men with whom they
had been thrown in the summer school
| work. The school would feel the grand
! influence of the church, and the church
would feel the influence of the school.
At the morning session Dr. Campbell
| delivered the fifth of his lectures on
| ethics, his theme being 1.-The Ethics of
Morality" He said in part:
Ethics of Morality.
It is sometimes said that all morality
| is relative; that every nation has it's
| own concept of moral good; that what
| ever is, is best. These statements are
| partially true. It is true that every ma
| ton has, to some extent, it's own con-
/ cept of morality; but it is not true that
! all morality is relative; neither is ii
| true that, In all cases, whatever is, is
best. There may be many different
concepts of truth; yet, there is but one
| objective truth; there may be many
! different concepts Of right and wrong;
| yet, there is but one objective moral
| good, one correct, objective morality
Morality is that quality in human con-
duct by virtue of which man tends to-
wards his destiny or recedes from his
destiny. By morally good acts men
tend towards their destiny, by morally
bad, by evil acts, men recede from their
! destiny. 1t belongs to fundamental
| ethics to determine the standards OF
| morality, to determine what are the
rules, the forms or the measures to
which human conduct must conform ir
order that such conduct may be con-
sidered morally good.
Some writers on fundamental ethics
| maintain that morality is entirely sub
jective, that morals are a matter OF
| tastes or instincts. Others maintain
that civil law is the only standard OF
moral good. Again, there are others
who affirm that materialistic pleasure
is the measure of moral good. Correct
ethics maintains that the primary
standards of moral good are the natur-
al and revealed moral laws; that the
natural moral law is the standard fol
all men; that the revealed moral law is
the standard for those to whom revela-
ton has been reasonably proposed.
Must Be Standard.
There must be some objective
standard of moral good" It is evident
