What reading level is A Christmas Sermon book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There was never anything less proved orless probable: our happiness is never in our own hands; we inherit ourconstitution; we stand buffet among friends and enemies; we may be sobuilt as to feel a sneer or an aspersion with unusual keenness, and socircumstanced as to be unusually exposed to them; we may have nervesvery sensitive to pain, and be afflicted with a disease very painful. Virtue will not help us, and it is not meant to help us. It is not evenits own reward, except for the self-centre...d and--I had almost said--theunamiable. No man can pacify his conscience; if quiet be what he want, he shall do better to let that organ perish from disuse. And to avoidthe penalties of the law, and the minor _capitis diminutio_ of socialostracism, is an affair of wisdom--of cunning, if you will--and not ofvirtue.
In his own life, then, a man is not to expect happiness, only to profitby it gladly when it shall arise; he is on duty here; he knows not howor why, and does not need to know; he knows not for what hire, and mustnot ask.
