Men have expressed the fear that if the Chinese came in overwhelming numbers to America they would endanger the Christian faith by their idolatry.

But would this be true?
Has Christianity anything to dread?
What impression has the Joss-House made all these years on the life of San Francisco outside of Chinatown?
None whatever, except to make the reflecting man value the Christian faith with its elevating influences and its blessed hopes all the more.

It is a mistake then to exclude Chinamen from our shores on the ground that they will do harm to Christianity.

On the contrary the Church will do them good.

The Gospel is the leaven which will be the salvation of heathen men.
