THE NEW CIVILIZATION.
LECTURE BY DR. RUFUS JONES.
EXTERNAL LIFE BUILT, BUT NOT
INTERNAL. "
A NEW EDUCATION WANTED.
Dr. Rufus M. Jones, Professor of Philosophy in Haverford College, Haver- ford, Pennslyanis, U.S.A., who has been engaged on a tour of China for the past few months, and has addressed a number of meetings in Hongkong during the week-end, as reported in yesterday's | Daily Press, last evening gave an ex- ceptionally interesting, loreeful and in- structive lecture at St. John's Cathedral Hall, under the auspices of the Church of England's Men's Society..
The subject of his address was "Build- ing the New Civilisation
and he em
phasised that up to the present we had paid too much attention to the building up of the materialistic, economic and Anancial side of life, and had doce practically nothing toward building the inner life of man, building character and soul. We had built up the extenal, he said, but had failed, almost completely, with regard to the external. He appeal; ed for a new type of education aud religion for the moulding of character, the construction of imagination and fore sight, and the building of soul.
Sir Henry Pollock, K. C., presided over a fair attendance, and briefly introduced and welcomed Dr. Rufus Jenes, whom he described Да D
well-known American educator.
Rebulking Lives.
!!
Dr. Jones, in the course of a lengthy lecture, said we could rebuild the civilisation of the world by rebuilding
our
own lives The universe had been. tapped for its engergies, to an extent almost undreamed of. It had given us visible power in the world, but, we had failed to secure the invisible power.
The lecturer interspersed his address with typical illustrations and occasional. ly introduced a touch of humour. Me said one got used to the noises of a car, say a Ford, but as soon as there was a new noise in that car we begun to sit up and take notice.!
The one trouble with past generations," had been in that they had no ear for new noises. They had failed to pay auf. Scient attention to new noises. What was necessary was to find out the signi ficance of the new noises.
The Human Assot.
They had built a civilisation admir. ably suited to the economic, financial and materialistic side. They had known how to handle the problem of the ex- ternal world extremely well, but he was much more concerned about the future of their world. They had yet learn how to handle the internal world. "We have learned how to handle the financial asset, the lecturer said," but I regret to say we have not learned better how to handle the human asset of our pro- blem."
Referring to the skyscrapers of New York, with their hundreds of offices. housed in them, Dr. Jones commented that one did not know the type of busi- ness being carried on. It was the per- sonality that counted.
