DR.. Ng Poon Chew, the well-known
Chinese lecturer, thrilled a large au-
dience under the chautauqua tent yes
terday afternoon with what is probab-
ly the strongest lecture yet heard here
in chautauqua. The Chinese editor
author and statesman is strong on the
preparedness question that is so deep
| ly interesting to Americans at present,
and his discussion of the subject from
the standpoint of his own country
makes lasting impression, and the
logical and vivid construction of his
lectures gives a cast amount of inter,
Testing presentday history of the world
| giving clear insight to some of the
European form of diplomacy which, of
course, as the eminent scholar says,
is based on power.
| DR.. Poon Chew says China needs
more Roosevelts and fewer Bryans
| CThis country would be entirely will
ing to furnish the Roosevelts, but
would want some consideration before
accepting any of their peace-loving
Bryans.) China, as pictured yester-
day, was the fellow who takes every
thing that other people don't want,
and the manner in which the Euro
pean countries have heaped insults
and injury upon her is interesting.
There was even a strain of humor as
the statesman told Of how Germany
took9 part of her territory for a
trivial little matter and all the other
| countries demanded their part as a
balance of power, arguing earnestly
that China had no right to hedp their
rivals by giving power, unless she
| would give to all. Peace-loving China
did the Bryan-like thing and granted
all their requests, and but for the high
| toned craftsmanship Of the United
States in diplomatic matters. China
would have been entirely picked to
pieces on account of her peace-loving
| ways
R. E. p. Kline. who again lectures
| today and tomorrow morning, gave a
splendid morning hour lecture on
Poetry in the Personal Life"
Mr.. Kline wished his audience to
understand that he did not believe
that poetry had no value for the prac-
tical man in an extreme practical age.
In the beginning the speaker made a
number of quotations Of definitions of
poetry given by poets and critics.
Among them were these:
Poetry is the representation of hui
man experiences, inasmuch as these
experiences are lasting and universal,
in material form, with chief reference
to the emotions, and by means of the
imagination.
Poetry is a passion for truth beau
ty and power.
Poetry is truth carried alive into
the heart by passion"
1t was the lecturers contention that
life is conditioned more largely by the
emotions, by the feelings, than by the
thinking. The office Of poetry was
very largely that of ministering to the
emotional life. of developing a finer
and a higher feeling among men and
| women for men and women
Mr. Kline. for several reasons, is
changing the group Of lectures. The
subject of this mornings lecture at
| II O'Clock Is "The Social and Moral
Force Of the Novel" and that for
| Thursday morning will be "The
Drama, the Mirror of Life" In Thurs
days lecture Mr.. Kline expects to give
the main points Of the three Shake.
