O knihe

Excerpt from An Ef¿cient Church

Some books are born so dead that neither untimely nor unkind is the sepulture that lays them away from sight under the dust of the vaulted storeroom. Of others it may be said that the making of the book was the unmaking of the author - because of some glaring fault of style, some unwarranted assumption of learning or piety, or unpardonable ofi'ense against decency or truth. Better the dust of the vault for literary remains than the epitaph awarded the author who brazenly or ignorantly presumes upon either the stupidity or moral obliquity of his public. His sin is mortal and the penalty swift and sure.

But the serious public is not unreasonable in its demands if dealt With in sincerity. It Will overlook faults in construction and even condone occasional lapses in thought and judgment, if satisfied by signs infallible that the author is fairly entitled to his convictions and moved by high purpose in ex pressing them. Honest, earnest souls quickly know each other, and hindrances must be greater than those offered by infelicitous words or defective sentences to bar them from sympathetic communion. Truth is royal, crowned or uncrowned, in purple or in tattered robes.
