It must have been sent because of mental telepathy. as I had not the least notion of saying a word on this subject at that time. This magazine contains a remarkable article from the pen of Rev. Jee Gain. entitled "Chinese exclusion. from the standpoint of a Christian Chinese." I will ask permission to insert the entire article as a part of my remarks. but will read the concluding paragraphs: It seems that Dr. Rader. an American clergyman. had put himself pretty strongly in some observations he had made or something he had written against the Chinese. Rev. Jee Gain says: Mr. Rader says that Chinatown furnishes the best argument against Chinese immigration from the moral standpoint. I took occasion to make an observation the other day regarding that matter. suggesting that possibly we could match China or Chinatown in the matter of immorality in every city of this country. if we only knew the facts. and I have no doubt that we can. Why not have courage enough to denounce the wickedness that is found everywhere you turn in San Franciscoits saloons. its dives. its gambling dens. and its houses of prostitution.
