What reading level is Laws of Christ for Common Life book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In this country the sovereign and the peers inherit their position by birth ; the rest have to be selected, directly or indirectly, by those who possess the fran- chise. It is surely a part of God's service to deter- mine who shall be God's " ministers," and for the manner in which we discharge this service we are responsible to God. Not to vote is to act the part of the unfaithful servant who hid his talent in the earth and made no use of it To vote corruptly is felony ; > it is to appropriate... to our own purposes what we have received as trustees for the town or the nation.

Those who are in the habit of speaking of political life as though it were unfriendly to all the pursuits and interests of the kingdom of Christ, and who therefore decline to discharge their political duties, are strangely inconsistent. If a municipality proposes to open libraries or museums on a Sunday, many ex- cellent Christian people become greatly excited and strain all their influence to prevent what they regard as a desecration of the weekly day of rest ; but they do not seem to believe that members of a town council have to get the will of God done on Monday and Tuesday as well as on Sunday, and that Christian ratepayers ought to elect the men who will do it If a parliamentary oath is to be abolished, these devout persons sign petitions and make speeches against the abolition : for a professed atheist to get into Parlia- ment seems to them a terrible scandal in a Christian country ; but many of these same persons regard the actual business of Parliament as so remote from the province of religious duty as to make it a very "worldly " thing for a Christian man.
