IMPRESSION OF OLD

ROTARY ADDRESS
LUNCHEON.
A human view of the
employ
ed in England wns vividly put before Hongkong Rotarians at the weekly luncheon yesterday in Measra. Lane Crawford's Restau- rant, by the Rev. E. C. II. Tribbeck, Wesleyan Chaplain, a newcomer to the Colony.
Mr. Tribbeck's Address.
Mr. Tribbock and in part: My association with the Rotary move- ment has been all too slight. I was Secretary of the League of Nations Union in Walsall, and J found the Rotarians there very anxious indend to help me with any project I had in view, and they were great sloggers.
Now, if I may proceed to this question of the human side of un- employment which, by the way. I wish you to take as an impres. sion, and not by way of offering a solution. Rather by way offering you the situation as appeared to me.

In the Old Testament there is an old idea. the value of which le being partially rediscovered in England and Germany to-day. The Idea is that there is some value in being a wanderer,
A Namnt Blessed,
In the Old Testament the nemud is blessed and the seller is cur. sed. Abraham goes out not know. ing whither and he is representeil n: a good man. Lot, his nephew, sets out with him but turus set- Ber.
He settled in Sador and you know what happened to that. Such is the ideal doom of the man Who slops still. And Lot's wife, who appears to have liked aeitling more than her husband, is said to have been turned into salt. I ex- pect the Chinese have similar stories about the amah and the baby on the way to Castle Peak.
Job, as Galsworthy makes one of his characters say, nomad. He was quite naturally the wealthiest and happiest man of the East until his troubles enme. Probably one reason why they came was that he was turn ing settler,

So, with that remarkable story, the best stock joke of all anti- Biblical eritics. Gain and Abel. Abel offers the sacrifice of a nomad, a sheep. Cain offers the sacrifice of a settler. Abel is accepted. Cain rejected.
Now it is very "interesting lo notice that the very next time that Cain does after murdering his brother is to build a city.
The City Iden.
So, it is anid, the idea of cities verminated in the brain of a mur derer. Of course, people grow out of this kind of prejudicen, Just as the Hebrews did-they have to It is no use cursing the rip and wear and tear of London if your bread and butter is there, but the prejudice against cities is quite natural, for when you go to rities your troubles begin. Vil Inges are bad enough, says your Hebrew, but cities-let Cain build them. And let Lot expect fire and brimstone if he chooses to live in them.

The coming of the eity mICIANS the rise of the specialist. old village not only was ench vil- lage independent of the other, but each family was also independent in the fundmental things of peace. which were food and clothing. In the village, each family could kill its own beasts, bake its own broad and make its own candesticks. But in the city you get your butcher and baker, and candie-i stick maker, and a host of others. Citizens are specialists. They can do one thing but little else.
Specialists.
Now this means merc and more complicated inter-dependence. Work is specialised but the needs

Most of these can't even darn their own clothes. to say nothing of making them, or baking their bread, or building their own houses. Specialists ar very dependent people.

Again, In a village, your class distinctions are quantitive rather than qualitative. The man who has the biggest family, especially if they be sons, will count. But in a city, for some extraordinary reason, a surgeon is regarded as more important person than a butcher, a priest than a caretaker, teacher than an artisan. Gen. erally speaking the man who is less able to take care of himself gets more cure taken on him, which is a very good rule-for some of us at least.

With such differentiation comes class distinction. We get "ruling (Continued on Page 11.)
