What reading level is The Spoken Word Or the Art of Extemporary Preaching Its Utility Its Danger book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Thought and sentiment, not words or speech, constitute eloquence, and, most of all, popular eloquence. The true orator is as much under the necessity of employing spoken words as the mere impostor or the empty charlatan. But there is as vast a difference between the two as between the result of their speech. The one — forget- ful or heedless of the great principle laid down by St. Augustine :* Non doctor verbis serviat, seel verba doc- tori — is vastly solicitous about the words he employs, vas...tly solicitous to please his audience, to tickle their ears by his affected elegance and his sounding phrases, whilst he bestows very little attention upon, and has very little real care about the idea which is contained, or is supposed to be contained, in these high-flown sen- tences. After listening to such a man the judgment you are compelled to pass upon him is probably this — that he said very nicely what he had to say, but that, * (( De Doctrina Christiana, " lib. 14, chap. 61.
