What reading level is Through Europe On the Eve of War; a Record of Personal Experiences; Including An Account of the First World Conference of the Churches for International Peace book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
If the Catholic Church had announced fifty years ago that any man who took the sword, be he Emperor or peasant, excepting in de- fense of his invaded country, or in defense of justice, would be excommunicated, there would be a great dif- ference in the attitude of men toward this foulest crime earth knows. If the Protestant churches had unani- mously taught that when man became a member of Christ's Church he arose into citizenship in a kingdom which knew no national or racial bonds, neither Gre...ek, barbarian, nor Scythian, but his chief allegiance was to Jesus Christ and his closest tie was with all Christians — his real brothers — there would to-day be a sense of kinship among all Christians that would make war of Christian against Christian abhorrent. (Yet this is what we are witnessing to-day — Christians ripping Christians to pieces.) If the whole Church had stood as a rock against this entire business of armament and militarism — stood as those few stood in Switzerland last January when the "Conference of the Evangelical Churches" issued its remarkable appeal to the Christian churches of Europe — then there would have been none of this making every nation a huge, menacing powder factory ready to go off at the dropping of one match.
