To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I remem- ber after some escapade in a sermon which did not seem to every hearer to be greatly edifying, the gentlest of all parishioners in the gentlest of all protests, made bold to ask, "What were you aiming at? What were you trying to do ? " I greatly fear the question may have been more to the purpose than the answer. It is a noteworthy fact, however, that the indications of dissent which have come to my knowledge have, in general, not related to matters 17 commonly classed as theological. ...I do not know all you have thought, but I have never heard that the pulpit was too radical or too conservative, too skeptical or too credu- lous, too slow or too fast. On the contrary, I have always felt that the pews were quite abreast of the pulpit, and abundantly ready for the latest intelligence, so it be intelli- gence, from the world of science, criticism or thought. Such differences as we have had have mainly related to practical details. If I mistake not, the most serious trial which any of you have had with the pulpit was in the first year of my pastorate, concerning an expression of views in the midst of a feverish agitation of the subject of temperance.
