卢本特(G.G.Rupert)致孙中山函 (1912年2月20日)

(原文)

Choctaw, Okla.,Feb.20, 1912

Hon.Dr.Sun Yat Sen,Nanking, China.

Hon.and Dear Sir:

We have sent you, under separate cover, a copy of our new book,The Yellow Peril.We believe the truth that it contains is of no small importance to all nations and peoples.It speaks of a new constitution likely to be formed in China within five years.We congratulate you that it has been accomplished in less than a year.Your revolution is remarkable.

We trust that you will take time to study this book we are sending you, as we believe there is no nation whose future is more momentous than your own great country.Being a Christian and a firm believer in the Bible, we believe the warning contained in the book should have a wide circulation among all Christians in the Orient; and also among those who may become Christians.

We trust that we may hear from you, at some future day, your opinion of the book.

Believe us always.

Yours most sincerely,

G.G.Rupert

致尊敬的孙逸仙博士,中国南京。

尊敬的先生:

我们在另函中给您寄了一本我们的新书《黄祸》,相信该书包含的事实对所有国家和民族都意义非凡。此书谈到中国五年之内会有一部新宪法,结果不到一年这事情就实现了,我们对此表示祝贺。您们的革命引人注目。

我们相信您会花些时间阅读此书,因为我们相信没有一个国家的未来比您自己的伟大国家更重要。作为基督徒和《圣经》的坚定信仰者,我们相信书里所警示的内容应在东方所有基督徒和将要成为基督徒的人们当中广为传播。

相信不久会收到您的信,谈及您对这本书的意见。

G.G.卢本特 敬上
