There was q painful pause. Drslewis
looked at the Chinhmen. The latter re-
turned tho gaze. The policeman moved
toward the tironk Ihen-one OF tho
Cinnamon, who wore glasscs. solemnly
arose and asked DR.. Lewis II they would
DO allowed to debate the Chinese ques-
lion with the lecturer. DR.. Lewis en-
phatleally said they would not He
mad not come there to debate, but to
lecture. The Cinnamon had the same
means OF replying. Then the five China
men solemnly doomed their overcoats
and walked out.
Two policemen executed flank move.
ment and followed the Cinnamon out.
The Chlnaman with tho spectac!es is
said to have been the Rev. Mr.. Thomas,
the Chinese preacher who last week
made a spirited reply 10 DR.. Lewis pre-
yious lecture. He said NTH a sneer as
no passe,d, the doortender: THAT man is
d coward;
The policemen remained in the hall
throughout the lecture and escorted DR..
Lewis to the street at its conclusion.
Dr. Lewis said he did not need any
further protection and the officers dis
appeared. =
Or. Lewis spoke tor two hours. He
was frequently interrupted by applause,
lie had decided to address the;public,
alter having been assaulted by the
Chinese and their teachers, from a
lecture platform and through,the press,
ana not before gathering OF excited
Cinnamon and their. equally excited
teachers. He had received letters com.
mendlng the stand he had taken from
every quarter OF the country. Hespoke
OF his eleven years sof missionary work
among the Chinese on the Pacific coast,
and In the South Seas. During his
work among the Cinnamon he had been
led to ask himself whether it was. wise
to admit them into the church, or even
the country. He had learned their
vices, and questioned this wisdom. He
was convinced that a change must be
made in teaching them, and men or
mature woman must be chosen as their
teachers. They should be taught
rapidly, SO that they could return to
their home soon as missionaries.
DR.. Lewis told OF his work among "the
heather" in California and OF the in
dorsement OF his labors from China, ut
home and in Tahiti, where he had Ia
bored. In Tahiti the young girls could
not go to church or to see the green
fields, because they would be stolen by
the Cinnamon.
The speaker was opposed to the CIV
ing OF presents by teachers or their pu-
pills. He saw q costly silk shawl given
to young lady teacher by q Chinaman
pupil recently, and thought it would<be
better had the money been given to-
poor Cinnamon. He was opposed to
costly picnics gottenfup by the young
laQY ll0u nlrl teachers OIL the Cinnamon.
