What reading level is Practical Studies On the Parables of Our Lord book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The mind must rouse itself to find its interest in the thoughts of Him for whom it waits, or turn inward and feed in morbid fancy upon itself. There is nothing else to which it can turn for distraction or interest. All around it is the night, beyond lie all its hopes and the object of L 146 THE PARABLES its expectations. The eyes weary with looking into the darkness ; the ear becomes strained, till it is startled by sounds which are the creation of its own fancy. Yes, the Virgin life of waiting... upon the Bridegroom, of always waiting, has its terrible temptations too.
Some are ever girt, and the lamp burns steadily through the long hours of the night, but some grow weary, and let the lamp of the inner life of devotion grow dim, flicker with uncertain movements, and die out. One must work, with his eye fixed upon the end his Master, to whom he must render account ; the other must watch with unwearied patience, and unfailing prayer and love.
2. But the two Parables may be considered, again, not as contrasting two different forms of life, but as bringing out different aspects of the same life.
