This is the first time I ever heard that itwas wicked for churches to ask for the repeal of a law that violated moral law or to take an interest in public affairs. Now. before I close. for I have talked longer than I intended. I will answer one question which arises in every mind. While I have criticised the methods of restraining Chinese immigration which have been pursued. gentlemen will naturally ask. "What would you do?" I believe that this Chinese invasion by coolie or servile labor coming in competition with our own labor is a great evil. I have listenedoften with sympathy. to many speeches and will probably ho ir many more on that subject as long as there are gentlemen here from California.
