What reading level is Quaker Strongholds book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But 1.^6 QUAKER STRONGHOLDS.
it is equally to be remembered that no true Friend could well have occupied the position of the Governor-General. No nation which had from the beginning of its history been thoroughly Chris- tian could, I suppose, have found itself in the position which we occupied in India in 1857. Were all the world, in the true and full sense of the word, Christian, such events obviously would not occur.
Had we been from the first a thoroughly Christian nation, our whole history ...must have been different, and would (as we Friends believe) have been in- finitely nobler.
We do not profess to lay down any general rule, by obedience to which war can be instantly dis- pensed with by nations in their unregenerate state, and without a sacrifice. A fully Christian nation has never yet been seen on earth. It may well be that such a nation, could it now come suddenly into existence, would meet with national martyrdom.
Meanwhile it is the imperfection of our Christianity and the mixed and complex nature of national affairs which make it so difficult to apply to national action any pure principles of conduct.
