To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There, I think, you have a picture of the goodness of God in creation. Sea and land, thought and pleasure. He shared with us — freely, without hope of return, except our gratitude. But let us suppose that, in addition to his houses and yachts and motor-cars, our rich man had one greatly loved son — his constant companion, his only intimate relative, whose loss would leave him soli- tary amid his abounding riches. Do you not see that his sacrifice would be multi- plied ten thousandfold if this b...oy volun- teered, not for the usual service of the army, dangerous though that is, but for some special duty, from which he could not hope to escape alive ? And how in- 30 WE CONQUER finitely would not that gift of an Only Son be, as it were, emphasized, if the death, so pitiless and inevitable, were to be of a kind most shameful and agonizing — no hos- pital, no anaesthetics, no Legion of Honor or Victoria Cross — but a suggestion of cowardice, of estrangement from the father, of utter and irremediable failure.
