Dr. Ferris spoke at St. Mary’s on
morality. He began by stating the
problem of determining if there are
moral electives or just moral require
ments. He stated that morality is “all
things that make up a man’s inner
life.’’ There are no moral electives;
morality is a fixed thing. If man did
not have moral requirements there
would be chaos. The moral require
ments are justice, love, and mercy,
and they are commanded by God. To
find out the moral requirements one
should go to church which will send
one to learn from the Bible and the
example of Jesus Christ.
Dr. Ferris went on to say that a
man should never judge another
man because he can never know all
the facts. He should try to accept
others as they are. Dr. Ferris ended
by saying that man must stop think
ing only of himself, and in order to
find himself he must lose himself in
something which is much larger than
himself. Man must find a cause or
reason for living outside himself be
cause “to be free is to be bound.”
