To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There is, indeed, atype of mind which finds in such services a happy anodyne forhalf-suppressed doubt. Petitions which in their poignant humiliation andprofound emotion no longer correspond to the genuine feelings of theworshipper, seem attenuated and transformed when they are intoned, andcreeds which when plainly read shock the understanding and theconscience are readily accepted as parts of a musical performance. Scepticism as well as belief sometimes fills churches. Large classes whohave no ...wish to cut themselves off from religious services have lost allinterest in the theological distinctions which once were deemedsupremely important and all strong belief in great parts of dogmaticsystems, and such men naturally prefer services which by music andornament gratify their tastes and exercise a soothing or stimulatinginfluence over the imagination. The extreme High Church party has, however, other elements ofattraction. Much of its power is due to the new springs of realspiritual life and the new forms of real usefulness and charity thatgrew out of its highly developed sacerdotal system and out of thesemi-monastic confraternities which at once foster and encourage andorganise an active zeal.
