What reading level is Hepburn of Japan And His Wife And Helpmates : a Life Story of Toil for Christ book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Loomis secured Okuno as a teacher, while Dr. Hepburn was in the United States, the American asked the Japanese, "Are you not afraid of being arrested, or punished for being a Christian and doing Christian work?" Drawing his finger significantly across his neck, he rephed, "They may cut off my head, but they cannot destroy my soul." For years, there hung over every native Christian convert, as by a silken filament, the suspended sword of the executioner. I felt this when I was with them, and I n...ever knew finer courage even in our Civil War.
God raised up Okuno to be the first poet of the [172] A SAMURAI OF JESUS Christian Church. He was the beginner of native hymnology. A literal translation of the hymn "Jesus loves me" had been made,' probably first by Rev. Jonathan Goble. The assuring sentiment, and the tune to which it was sung, made it an instant favorite with the Japanese Christians, and its tra- ditional associations keep it popular even to this day. Nevertheless, the way in which the Mikado's vernacular was tortured, to make some distant approach to sense, reminds one of the Yiddish of Chatham Street, as compared with the classic Hebrew in Isaiah.
