To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Nature has manifold ways of illustrating the parable of the ten pieces of money. Spiritual law is natural law: " From him that hath not, even that he hath shall betaken away. " Among plants as among souls, there are all degrees of backsliders. The fox- glove, which is guilty of only sly, petty larceny, wears not the equivalent of the striped suit and the shaved head; nor does the mistletoe, which steals crude food from the tree, but still digests it itself, and is therefore only a dingy yellowi...sh green. Such plants, however, as the broom-rape, pine-sap, beech-drops, the Indian pipe, and the dodder which marks the lowest stage of degrada- tion of them all appear among their race branded with the mark of crime as surely as was Cain. No wonder this degenerate hangs its head; no wonder it grows black with shame on being picked, as if its wickedness were only just then discovered ! To think that a plant related on one side to many of the loveliest flowers in Nature's garden the aza- leas, laurels, rhododendrons, and the bonny heather and on the other side to the modest but no less charming wintergreen tribe, should have fallen from grace to such a depth!
