To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The same day a venerable Episcopalian clergyman, the oldest minister in the city, much respected and honored, but who had always been taught to regard a drink of wine at any time as his right and privilege, asked his Excellency to do him the honor to drink a glass of wine with him. Yet he politely but firmly refused. His veneration for the man, his desire to give pleasure, would not induce him to swerve from a principle and practice which he believed valuable to himself, his country, and the wo...rld. Many would doubtless have plead that the circumstan- ces would justify compliance, but he seemed to judge that no circumstances would justify a man, especially a ruler, in violating a conscientious conviction and a valuable principle, and setting an example that thousands might afterward plead to their ruin ; so he refused decisively. Young man! act with such decision and principle, and it may save you from sore and vain regret, preserve for you a priceless self-respect, and give you stability and great- ness of character.
