Chinese question is one of the most
important TO be considered today.
Shall the Chinese laborers be permit
ted, with proper restrictions, to en-
ter the United States and Hawaii or
noti Shall these laborers be treated
as fairly as laborers from Italy, Rus
STA, Poland. Ireland, Japan, Korea
and other countriess Upon America g
right answer to these questions de-
ponds much of her future wealth and
commercial prosperity on the Pacific.
Hawaii S future also depends much
on these questions. They cannot be
considered too carefully. / want to
repeat what / have said in the
Friend for August:
Quite number of Hawaii's bright
young Chinese are now in China. Some
are taking Chinese courses of study in
the higher schools and colleges there.
Others are preparing to be doctors in
China. A number are acting as teach
ers, and still others are acting as in
terpreters and business men. In
Shanghai, not long ago, l met young
man from Honolulu who has the posi-
tion of private secretary to Lii Hung
Changes son. Another young Chinese,
graduate of Punahou College, met
me with a hearty greeting on the
streets of Canton. He is now a pro-
fessor of English in private school
there. While talking to the president
of one of the largest colleges in Shang-
hal, he said: 81 like to have your
Honolulu boys come here to study.
They give a good spirit to our entire
institution. When invited out to see
the college military drill, it was a
pleasure to see boys from Hawaii in
the front ranks. Two of the young
men from Honolulu are leaders in
their glee club. There are some six
teen boys from the islands in this one
college. Others are studying in the
schools of Canton. A young man from
Mills Institute has recently left Hawaii
to take special Chinese course in the
, Fati Training School, Canton. This is a
school that has given many of the
workers now laboring among the Chi
| nese of the islands. The Hawaiian
Board may have here several scholar
ships with special view to the Ha-
waiian work. Every young man who
goes from Honolulu takes back with
him to China, American ideas, Amer
/ lean ambition and push. One young
man from Mills Institute after being
in Hongkong for year, when asked
how he liked il there, said: "Oh, it
is not equal to Honolulu. Why they
don't even keep the Fourth of July
out here Any boy that has tasted
| American freedom and liberty, and
Fourth of July too, is bound to be o
help to China's progress by and by.
HELPING THE CHURCH OF CHINA
The Chinese of Hawaii are also IN
terested in the great Christian move
/ ment in China. The Fort Street Chi
nese SUNDAY school of Honolulu arr

airy in China, who goes about preach
ing in the large Heung Shang distric
from which so many Of the Chimes
come Money has been sent from Ho
nolulu to aid number of the mission
at work there. One good Christian
farmer sends back money to educat
he may preach the gospel in his owl
village"
One of the most beautiful churche
of South China, has recently been bull
partly with money raised in Hawai-
This is the church at Lien Chan. Som

large influence on those they meet i
China.
