To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

Ritual observances constituted an ela- borate mechanism for the awakening of religious 284 SERMON X. thought and feeling ; in the new economy, they are the actual and voluntary manifestation of reli- gious thought and feeling already existing. They were mere machinery in the former case ; in the latter they are instinct with spirit and life : and therefore the very elaborateness of the ancient ritual is the exponent of its inferiority ; the unob- trusive simplicity ...of the modern, the sign of its true glory. For it is obvious that the most elaborate achieve- ments of art ever fall short in value and dignity of the simplest manifestations of life. It is possible, indeed, for artificial training in its apparent results greatly to surpass natural gifts. Acquired accom- plishments may sometimes seem to a superficial eye to excel original powers the performances of a mere educational drill or discipline in their impos- ing exactness and elaborateness to be superior to the free and simple efforts of genius.
