To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
If an electric car stands motionless on the tracks, it is nothing against the power of elec- tricity. If an invalid has no appetite, and cannot go out of doors at night, it is no argument against things to eat and the joy of starlit air. If a man does not know a flower by name, or a poem by heart, it is no indictment of the beauty of a rose, or the charm of poetry. If we bear the name of Christ but give no other sign of him, if we go through the forms of godliness, but live powerless lives, it ...is a thousand reproaches to us. To be powerless when Christ has all power, and we can have all we want, is an arraignment to which we can make no answer that is not self- incriminating. What is Honesty? The root of honesty is an honest intention, the distinct and deliberate purpose to be true, to han- dle facts as they are, and not as we wish them to be. Facts lend themselves to manipulation. Many a butcher's hand is worth more than its weight in gold. What we want things to be, we come to see them to be ; and the tailor pulls the coat and the truth into a perfect fit from his point of view.
