What reading level is The Religion of the Threshold And Other Sermons book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
As relating to men. Let your PEACE 157 " moderation " be known to all men. The word " moderation " is translated " forbearance " in the Revised Version, and that is more correct. It was one of Saint Paul's favorite w^ords. He often uses it to describe a Christian's relation to his fellowmen. Writing to Timothy about the ideal bishop, he says he must be patient (Ancient Version), gentle (Revised Version). Again he tells Titus to put his church in a right mind, to be not a brawler but gentle, let...ting his meek- ness be known to all men. This, I say, was a favorite word of Saint Paul's to describe the Christian nature to every man. The word is hard to translate in its full meaning; indeed no one English word will translate it. It combines two ideas, — self-restraint as touching ourselves ; gentleness, forbearance towards others. As Paul means it, it is to be impatient with yourself, but patient towards others. It is the man who dreads fury, excitement, or passion as a sign of feeble- ness, who hates exaggeration of statement be- cause exaggeration of statement weakens belief, who shrinks from vulgar self -display, who is patient because he is powerful, who is tolerant be- cause he is sure, who is hopeful tow^ards all men because he has found hope for himself.
