Excerpt from Social Programmes in the West: Lectures Delivered in the Far East My University, through our honored President H. P. Judson, has opened the way for me to visit the Orient and deliver my life-message there on the foundation of the Barrows Lectureship. The limits of time and Space precluded detailed discussion of the vast themes which are opened up in the lectures here presented. But the necessity of selecting elements from the social activities of Europe and America which might have value in the Orient under widely different conditions, compelled a consideration of the materials from a new point of view. Lnstinctively the mind Sifts the ideas which must be transported across the ocean, and gives to them a different form and dress.
