They have gone there and planted the cross of our Saviour. and they have made convertsnot a great many. possibly. still they have made converts. Does the honorable gentleman from California mean to say that he intends to restrict the power of the Almighty to have the cross of our Saviour carried into all lands. whether savage or civilized? Does he mean to say that the Saviour. who died upon the cross. did not die for the 430.000.000 of Mongolians in China. constituting onethird of the human family? Are they to be excluded from the plan of redemption on account of the color of their skins or the almond shape of their eyes? This is a new doctrine to come from a Christian Representative. I hold that we ought to pass no laws which may endanger for a moment the gallant band of men who. representing all Chrism tian denominations of this country. have gone into that fardistant land and planted there the cross of our religion. and are preaching the gospel to those Mongolians. Many of this race .have come to this country in former years. many have Attended he Sabbath schools. many were made converts in America. and .f you make them Converts here I suppose you can make them converts at home. Would you imperil the life of a single missionary by enacting a law violative of every treaty stipulation you have ever madecruel. unjust. unnecessary. and impolitic?
