What reading level is Ex Oriente Studies of Oriental Life And Thought book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
RELIGION A EEGNANT POWER.
Eeligion enters into everything. The Hindus, for example, eat, drink, toil, siri, religiously. Their gods are vile. The book which two-thirds of the Hindus call their bible is untranslateable in its vileness. The word priest is used as a climax, when other words of abuse have been exhausted. With such gods and guides what can be expected of the people ? Religion controls all their activities. It is not, as with many of us, a Sunday matter, but an all-pervasive, ul^iqui...tous and imperious power. It is a mighty historic force, the growth of centuries, gigantic yet flexible, and ac- commodating itself to varying conditions. It has been compared to an immense glacier, slowly moving down from a mountain, gathering up stones and debris, yet adapting itself to the configuration of the mountain. This flexibility characterizes the religious system of China, and so unites the ethical, physical and meta- physical ; morality, idolatry and superstition in one mighty controlling power.
