A feature of this mornings lecture
hours was the address given by Rev
Henry Butler Schwartz. returned mis-
sionary from Japan, on the subject
The yellow Peril and the Open Door"
He said in part
THE yellow peril is used as term
to convey two quite different ideas.
One is the physical idea. an ineptism of
barbarism, like that of Attila and his
Huns, who, armed and united, were
ambitious TO bear down and destroy the
white race everywhere.
The other idea is of a commercial
peril, competition in industry and
affairs so keen and
cruel that the business enterprise of
the western world would be unable to
stand against 1t.
Tells of Yellow Peril
The physical idea of the yellow peril
has its root in the white peril which
threatens the orient. Russia threatens
China on the north. France on the
south. and Germany is driving a wedge
into the Shantung peninsula. A horde
of other concession seekers are harass-
ing China on all sides.
1T is no wonder that the yellow race
has a hereditary hatred for the white
race. Japan opened her doors to for
eigners 300 years ago. but finding she
could not control them, she closed her
doors to them after the expiration of
fifty years.
The result has been that Japan's
self-reliance has been developed and
her natural facilities. Her growth has
been distinctly her own.
The official class is now losing the
hereditary hatred for the foreigner and
the common people are receiving the
stranger more cordially. The English
alliance and the wide sympathy of the
United States have driven the last nail
in the coffin of the yellow peril as far
as Japan is concerned. In the light of re-
cent developments she stands pledged
to the policy of the open door and
there is no doubt this promise will be
fulfilled"
Bishop Hamilton will lecture tomor-
row night on the subject, Public
Morals in the Light of Recent Events"
Tomorrow afternoon Hector Alliott will
lecture on Graphic Art" filing
vacancy left by Miss Dorothea Hayden,
a Shakespearean reader who could not
fill her engagement because of the
death of a relative. The management
was much pleased to be able to secure
Mr.. Alliott for this lecture upon short
notice, as he had been engaged only
for the lecture which was given to-
night. His subject tonight was THE
Evolution of Art and the Reproduction
of Great Pictures" The lecture was il
lustrated and was very entertaining
and instructive.
