What reading level is Recollections of Fifty Years in the Ministry With Numerous Character Sketches book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The two Conventions met in Baltimore as proposed, on the llth day of May, 1877. I had been elected a mem- ber of our Convention by the Pittsburg Conference, and it afforded me great pleasure to attend. I was heartily in favor of the union; but I was not one of the "gushing" kind, who permitted emotion to overcome reason and judg- ment. When a thing is done right it generally stays done, and good results follow; but when a thing is not done right, it matters not how much "gush" there may be abou...t it, results are not favorable. It took the mellowing influence of time to enable the two Churches to overcome the excite- ment under which they had labored for years, and with YEARS IN THE MINISTRY. 353 calm and cool judgment to consider in a proper spirit the whole subject, and to act on it measurably free from sec- tional influence and bias. The wonder is, not that the union did not take place sooner, but that it took place as soon as it did. The basis of union proposed by the com- missioners was candidly and earnestly discussed in each of the Conventions, and finally adopted by each with very little dissent.
