To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
. . A century has nearly elapsed. Again a little band pursue their toilsome way over the rough stones, and begin to ascend the rock-bound path ; they are humble men in humble garments from the opposite shores of Asia ; they carry no glitter- ing eagle, no 4 weapon made with hands, ' yet are they combatants, and, more, they are conquerors in the name of their Almighty Master. The leader of this little band carries a traveller's staff to assist his weary feet as he toils higher and yet higher upw...ards ; but the seal of the Christian CA VALLA 137 martyr is on his thoughtful brow, and he bears to benighted Europe a gentle, yet unquenchable light. The cry from darkened Macedonia has mysteriously reached him on the far-off coast of Troas, and he hastens to bear to the Gentile world that heavenly flame, the all - conquering light of the Gospel. The visionary fancy has passed away ; the golden sunset throws long shadows far over the calm ripples of the blue ^Egean Sea ; in the faint, vapoury distance a towering, majestic form the lofty marble crest of Athos, the Holy Mountain- gleams with the last touches of golden glory ; while in the foreground Thasos, richly wooded to the water's edge, sends dark reflections far down into the liquid mirror, and loads the soft evening breeze with the aromatic perfume of its clustering pines.
