What reading level is A Memoir of Edward Steere Third Missionary Bishop in Central Africa book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The walls were hung with banners of most effective design, and the floor was swept and laid with mats.
There were a few benches and chairs carried in for the use of the Europeans from the town and the members of the Mission, but all the natives sat on the floor. The girls and women were on the north side, the boys and men on the south.
All were in their holiday dress, white relieved with scarlet prevailing, the girls in particular looking so well in their white dresses and scarlet head- kerchie...fs and scarves. Black skins are ever so much more effective and picturesque in a mass like this, than white ones.
English people may laugh at this, but if they had seen that congregation on that Christmas Day they would have agreed that it was so.
1879. 25 e And one thing is certain, that no English chil- dren would have been so reverent, or have entered so heart and soul into the service, as worship of Almighty God, as did these, by some despised, black children.
One could not but think, as one looked at them, of the groups that might have been seen upon that very spot, not so many years before, when it was the slave market.
