What reading level is An Address to Candidates for the Ministry : On the Importance of Aiming At Eminent Piety in Making Their Preparation for the Sacred Office book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is God's great means of saving sinners, and edifying his own people: but in order to answer the end for which it was designed, the preaching of the Gospel must be rightly performed.
Many things, it is true, are requisite to make a truly good preacher; but after all other qualifications have been mentioned, and duly appreciated, it will be found, that, unless eminent piety is superadded to them all, there will be a great, and indeed, an essential defect. The true spirit of preaching cannot be... described in word?, but it can be perceived and felt; and this spirit is nothing else but the manifestation of those emotions and desires of the heart in which genuine piety consists. The pious man speaks from the heart; and there is a myste- rious sympathy between the soul of the speaker and those of his hearers. Men need no instruction to enable thera to understand the language of genuine feeling, and where that feeling is the exercise of the pure love of God, and humble penitence, it reaches the heart of the attentive hearer, and communicates by sympathy something of its nature, so far as there exists any sus- ceptibility of a kindred emotion.
