CHINESE EDITOR'S
REJECTION SLIP

A lately returned missionary from
China says that the Chinese editors
have troubles with poets, too, but their
methods of turning down" are more
polite than those Of an American ed
itor.
The following is a translation of a
Chinese editors rejection slip:
Most mighty prince Of the magic
pen, we have read your poem with
heavenly bliss, and have found it more
beautiful than the Seven Songs of Sue
Chuan, more brilliant than the sun
and with more wisdom than the Thir-
teen Original Proverbs, and to publish
it in our paper would give us more
happiness than a promise of heaven,
but SO impossible would it be for any
one ever to hope to produce work
of literature even approaching yours
in excellence that we feel it Our duty
to refrain. for fear of evermore dis
couraging the poets of His Majesty's
Empire and causing them to dash out
their brains in despair. Therefore, we
return your mighty work of genius
and grovel before you in the dust as
your base-born slave,

by a disappointed inventor OF his
sterling manhood, the results would
have been adequate.
For we need evidences of supreme
honesty and heroic courage all the
time. The more we have, the better
we be. And nothing is drawer and
more honest than such an admission
of defeat. An acknowledgment with
out palliation or attempted excuse
Every success is based upon a
the surn of human knowledge, or to
the application of it to the problems
of daily life, by leaps and bounds. If
the mountain of human progress could
be cut by plane and the different
strata studied, as we read the story of
creation through the riven mountain
side, it would be found that the adj
vance was the sloWest of which the
mind could take cognizance, that the
successive lncrements were inhnltesi-
NAL. Line upon line, precept upon
precept, here little and there lit
tie"
And the epoch-making discoveries
or applications which seem such, as
dllQ unexpected leaps Ill lie
dark, because we are ignorant of the
steps which precede them, are, after
all, only the legitimate and natural
outcome of thousands and thousands
of failures.
The man who puts the cap-stone
upon some building erected by the
toiling millions, gets the glory in the
eyes of the world, but his contribution,
after all, is not so much greater than
that of those whose failures made his
success possible.
This is word TO the discouraged,
to those who have failed. Who knows
but in the Providence of God your fail
ure has laid the foundation of success,
and that you may be the unknown,
unremembered benefactor of millions
of people yet to come? Think on that
possibility, then, and don't get discour-
aged because you have not, you can
not succeed.
"Life is leaf of paper white
Whereon each one of us may write
His word or two, and then comes
night.
"Greatly begin! Though thou have
time
But for line, be that sublime
Not failure, but low aim, is crime"
