To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Amidst all the stir of selfish passion, the still voice of Christianity is heard; a diviner spirit mixes however imperfectly, with the work- ings of worldliness; and we are beginning to learn the mighty revolution which a heavenly faith is to accomplish here on earth. Christianity is the hope of the world, and we ought to regard every conspicuous manifestation of its spirit and power, as an era in human history. We are dazzled by revolutions of em- pires; we hope much from the riso or fall of G...overnments. But nothing but Christianity can regenerate the earth; and accord- ingly we should hail with joy every sign of a clearer compre- hension, and a deeper feeling of its truths. Christianity tru- ly understood, has a direct tendency to that renovation of the world which it foretells. It is not an abstract system, secluding the disciple from his kind; but it makes him one with his race, breaks down all barriers between him and his brethren, arms him with a martyr's spirit in the cause of humanity, sends him forth to be a saviour of the lost; and just as far as Christianity is thus viewed and felt by its followers, the redemption of the ■world draws nigh.
