the same course, and altogether the pros

Special to THE MORNING CALL.

New YORK, May 21.-The Chinese ques
tion was discussed by Rev. Madison G.
Peters this morning at Bloomingdale Re-
formed church. DR.. Peters said in part:
'When we needed cheap labor to de-
velop our country we begged the Chinese
TO come, In 1914 our Government began
to coax them to come. Our treatment of
them has been a long series of prejudice,
bTickbats. taxation and robbery. The

allow the Chinese in America to become
the victims of political cruelty. If the
Chinaman had vote, our demogOgues i'll
Congress would profess a great love for
the Chinaman, and they would go around
on election day with the opium pipe stick
ing from their pockets"
Rev. Edward I. Payson preached at The
old Canal-street Presbyterian church this
morning also on the Chinese exclusion law.
BE branded the law as unjust and unchr is
tian. He began his sermon by reviewing
briefly the history of the Chinese Empire
and It's contributions to the world.
II do not hesitate to say" he said, "that
Is has given more varied benefits to the
world than any other nation of the earth.
The Chinese proved themselves to be
strong intellectually and commercially, as
shown by what they have accomplished
in the ten years following the war which
resulted in the breaking down of the Chi
nese wall of exclusion and the admission
of Christian missionaries. We combined
with the European nations TO break down
the Chinese wall, and now, with charming
con sistency, we build wall against the
Chinese.
"The inherent and inalienable right of
men to change their allegiance is recog-
niZed in our famous Burlingame treaty,
entered into with the Chinese in 1865
Well do / remember the joy with which
the news OF the signing of this treaty was
received. By the terms of this treaty the
United States induced the Chinese TO
come to our shores, and in later years,
when the hoodlums Of Saa Francisco pre-
tested against Chinese immigration, this
Government in the second treaty asserted
that. while it could and would regulate
Chinese immigration, it would never pro-
hibIt il.
THUS have we, a Christian nation,
broken faith with China. whom we in our
righteousness have designated as nation
Of pagans. But even if we had the right
70 exclude and deport the Chinese we
haven't the power. No act of Congress
can keep them out. The principles of
Christianity say that we must welcome all
strangers within our gates, to our schools
and churches, and teach them the lessons
taught to us by Christ"
