Second Term.

The opening meeting in the Second Term was addressed by Professor Kirk. The Professor's subject was "A Scientific Basis for the Belief in Immorality." He dealt with it from the point of view of the origin of life and maintained the principle of "omne vivum ex vivo." The Professor showed that the most recent experiments upheld this principle though exhaustive attempts had been made to discredit it.

Rev. J. W. Burton, M.A., of Melbourne, was our next speaker. Mr. Burton is a recognised authority on the Pacific peoples and is the author of several books upon this subject. He dealt with the question of "The Problem of the Pacific," and gave to his hearers a very clear account of the industrial, educational and religious problems of these island peoples.

Bishop Sprott addressed us this year on "The Christian Conception of Human Society." The Bishop based his address on Paul's analogy between the human body and its members and society.

Other addresses to be delivered this term are: "Some Problems of Social Reconstruction," by Mr. B. E. Murphy, Lecturer in Economies; ' Christ and the Student," by Major Pettit (N.Z.M.C.), and "The Teaching of Jesus and some Modern Problems,' by Miss England.
