CHINESE Y.M.C.A. BUILDING
AT KOWLOON.
FORMAL OPENING BY H.E. THE ACTING GOVERNOR.
SECRETARY'S REVIEW OF THE Y.M.C.A. MOVEMENT IN HONG KONG.
H.E.'S TRIBUTE TO A FINE LOCAL EFFORT.
Yesterday afternoon the new Kowloon branch of the Chinese Y.M.C.A. was formally opened by E.E. the Officer Administering -* the Government (the Hon. Mr. W. T. Southern, 0.M.G.). The building is (no facetiousness is here intended) just opposite that well-known landmark, the Dogs' Home, Waterloo Road. It is a four-storied construction, with a big assembly hall on the growid door, public rooms on the Brst floor and living rooms above.. There is quite a spacious recreation ground with tennis courts and a basket ball pitch,
It is a fins handsome buliding and should become a social and intellectual Mecca for young dina in Kowloon,
Y.M.C.A. IDEALS IN CHINA.
For
the sense of duty to themselves and to the state and awakening in them what it is to make some contribu tion to the civic etrength of their community and country: Man is a social animal, and it is immensely important that the good he does must coincide with the common good. The Friendly Relations Com- mittee of the Young Men and Women's Christian Association are doing a heroic thing in levelling the barriers which obstruct fellow- ship and co-operation between the races. The immense racial obstacle that divides the East from the West will ultimately be removed by "the younger life of all the countries of the world. The ocean liners carry. ing the young of both sexes from East to West and vice versa will eventually help to abolish hatred and injustice and war. Their com merce of ideas and closer.contact will be one of the helpful factors in making the league of the Nations an absolutely realizablo ideal.
The world belongs to those who
come the last,
They shall fad hope and strength,
As we have done.
