CHINESE IN CALIFoRNIA.-Mr.
LOOMS, Presbyterian missionary to the
Chinese in California, in his report says
There are now in California perhaps
sixty thousand Cinnamon. The mass Of
these are engaged in mining, but they
have their own doctors and merchants in
most of their settlements. They are a
travelling people, after they have once
been shaken loose from the soul on
which they were born, and there is a
great moving to and fro of Cinnamon
all over the country. Many find en-
ployment as house servants, a few as Ia
borers in markets and warehouses, and
sea going vessels hundreds are employ
ed in manufactures, and more in the
the lighter kinds OF agricultural work.
"All these men are daily learning facts
and receiving impressions. A large por-
ton Of them will return to their own
country, to mingle again with the dense
population Of that idolatrous empire. and
what they learn win be carried home
with them, and will be retailed to their
neighbors. If what they learn while
here is good, its influence throughout
China will be good; If what they learn
is bad, its influence will be bad there
fore, the more the church can do toward
the evangelization OF the Chinese in Cal
ifornia, the more is she doing, Indirectly.
for the evangelization of China.
One result Of Chinese emigration
will be, 10 correct their absurd notions 10
matters of geography, history, and sci
ence, and to enlarge their knowledge Of
the arts. To promote this end, we de-
liver lecture occasionally on some Of
these subjects, accompanied with illustra.
tons. by this means important truth
has been impaired 20 many who would
not have come merely to hear religi.
