What reading level is The Lowly Estate book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But to the watcher my heart goes out in fullest sympathy. It is an awful business, that waiting for a crisis which one is powerless to avert, and in which one is powerless to help. Faith, even if ab- solute, is taxed to the uttermost then. Prayer tends to become passionate reiteration of appeal for one specific boon, preservation of life here for the loved one, and the soul faints at the idea that that may not be the happy issue from his afifliction. Yet this admission does not depreciate the b...eneficent utility of prayer to him who offers it, or him upon whose behalf it is offered. But what of those who are unaccustomed to pray and who are agnostics, in the connotation of the word given to it by Huxley, who invented it? These have absolutely nothing to do but wait, and their distress would seem to be without alleviation. It is a postscript to the letter actually received that troubled me with doubts as to what I could or ought to say. " I have been praying this week," my friend wrote, and he made an allusion to the heroine of Dickens's novel.
