What reading level is Newly Enlisted: a Series of Talks With Young Converts book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
That is indeed a poor business and a poor pleasure on which we cannot with a clear conscience ask our Heavenly Father's approval. Certainly there are enough innocent, wholesome, and beneficial recreations without venturing into the dangerous atmos- phere of the playhouse. That is a dear-bought pleasure which involves even a risk to the im- mortal soul.
Third. Another peril of the theatre arises from the fascination which it too often engen- ders. Like w4ne-drinking, it becomes an appe- tite, an...d a very greedy appetite. To gratify this growing passion for the playhouse tens of thou- sands of young people most profusely squander their money and their time. Other and purer recreations become tame and insipid. Even the entertainments of the stage become dull unless they are spiced with new excitements to the pas- sions. "VVholesome pleasures cease to please, just THE PERILS OE THE PLAYHOUSE. 99 as a brandy-drinker ceases to be satisfied with cold water or a cup of coffee. It is not recrea- tion but stimulation — and a very dangerous sort of stimulation too — that you will be after when you become enslaved by the fascinations of the stage.
