The American Board Of Foreign Missions
and the Chinese.
| Doc-oN- no4x6c, Tp4I,
portion of the report made to the Am@i-
can Board by DR.. Lyman Abbott, Chair
man of the Committee on the Wyoming
Massacre of Chinese to which reference
was made this morning as having been re-
ceiyed with applause " What IS commonly
called the Chinese question we do not pro-
pose here to discuss, but the equality of all
members OF n community before the law
! and the sacred duty of the sovereign power
| TO protect them in their rights to life, liber-
| ty and the pursuit of happiness in not a
! question on American soil To deny to
| pe3ce3ble la5Orers the right to labor and
enjoy in peace aud safety the fruits of their
| Industry IS violation Of the rights OF the
| labOrer; to eXpel him from a community
for no other oilense than his nationality is
| n violation of the rights of humanity; 70
| burn his house about his head and to shoot
| him unTesisting is a crime against God and
man. These are wrongs which this Board
cannot pass by in silence, for we cannot ex-
| peet protection if we suffer Chinese labor
ers to be murdered with impunity." Re
| ierring to the work of the American Board
IN China, the report continues: 1.-THE Chi
nese have learned to discriminate between
| their American Christian friends and their
European enemies, and a wide door is
opened for the entrance Of the gospel into
their hearts"
