What reading level is Help Me Or I Perish the Plea for Penitentiaries a Sermon volume Talbot book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We feel with thankfulness that we are members of as pure a branch as any on earth of Christ's Holy Catholic Church, pure in doctrine, primitive and apostolic in discipline ; and yet how many are there who content themselves with this knowledge of the possession of a privilege, the most awful from its responsibility, but who never reflect, that to whom God has given much, of them will He inquire the more. Of what avail is it to boast our- selves of purity of doctrine without purity of heart? Of ...what avail an apostolic discipline, if those who boast of its possession reject practical subjection to it ?
While then the words of my text would naturally lead our thoughts to the consideration of that inward purity, which alone can qualify us for the enjoyment of the Presence and Vision of the Almighty, and to the enforcement of a far higher cultivation of this grace than, it is to be feared, is generally aimed at by us ; yet, the object immediately before us to-day must rather lead us to reflect upon the unhappy state of those who have miserably lost that purity of heart ; 6 and whose sad and well-nigh hopeless condition may surely awaken the liveliest sympathy of those, who are themselves enjoying a well-grounded hope of the happiness of Heaven, and who can therefore feel how desolate must be the hearts of those who have no such hope ; who sigh for penitence but have none to guide them to it ; who long to quit their Hell upon earth, if they could but find some retreat, some quiet home, where, in the exercise of penitence and faith, they might recover that " purity " without which, they know, they can never " see God ;" and where the poor stricken Magdalen might hope to hear those blessed woi'ds, " her sins, which are many, are forgiven.
