Considering that most of these Chinese emigrated because they were so poor that they found it impossible to provide for their own and their families' maintenance in China, the subscribing of this money not only-disposes of Mr Bidwell's assertion that Chinese became Christians for the sake of the loaves and fishes they thus secure, but is also conclusive evidence that the Chinese immigranta in the Sandwich Islands must be fairly pro sperous and contented.
