SLAVERY IN THE PHILIPPINES
A good deal is being written about
slavery in some Of the Philippine Is.

form of slavery does exist there.
We suspect that more than half thu
Chinese whom the Six Companies In
California farmed cut for thirty years
after gold was discovered in that
state were slaves. Some of them
were sold out and out by their par

People in the United States can
hardly comprehend such situation,
but It is fearful reality beyond the

the Mongolians, and before people ex.

greater horror. When the United
States acquired the Philippines, the
act was breaking into one edge OF
this horror, and people who believe
that God rules, believe that when
that conquest was made, the purpose
behind 1t was that our government
and people should begin a work of
restoration, which, when completes
