Congressman Hawley
Talks On the Apostle Paul

Congressman w. G. Hawley occupied
the pulpit of the First Methodist
church last evening, delivering dis
course on st. Paul
Having been a teacher of history for
several years in the Willamette miyer-
sity Mr.. Hawley said that ae had al.
ways been interested in history and
especially the world history for 90
years following the birth of Christ, and
that it has been his custom to devote
one hour day to the study Of st. Paul
and his times
Having conquered country ii was
the custom of the Romans to permit the
use of its own religion, but not to pro.
mulgate any new religion. Rome was
against secret societies or secret relig-
ten the means Of formeuting revolts.
For this reason, Paul in his preachings,
claimed that the teachings Of Christ
were but fruitage Of the Jewish faith.
According to the history Of those times,
Christians were executed not because
they were followers of Christ, but be.
cause they were supporting new re-
ligion, contrary 10 the Roman law. This
Roman law forbade the practice Of any
