What reading level is Slaveholding Weighed in the Balance of Truth book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Day by day, all his life, he is robbed of the fruits of his labor, that it may go to enrich another. He has hands indeed, but he may not use them for his own benefit. Feet he has, but they may not bear him where he would go. They must go and come at the master's bidding, and not his. He has eyes, but he may not look on the light of science, or on the clearer, purer light of God's reveal- ed truth. Even the sun shines not for him, as it only serves to light him to his unwilling and unrequited to...il. Of what use then, are hands, and feet, and eyes, to him ? He can no more use them for his own benefit, than if he had none — and yet vou think to make up to him by kindness what you have taken away ; and call yourself a disciple of Christ, and think that Heaven will reward you for being so kind to your poor oppress- ed, down trodden victim, whom you compel to labor unrewarded, for your good. Is that the religion of Christ ? Is that loving your neighbor as yourself ?
But, the most kind hearted, and upright, and pious slaveholder in the land, so far as he approves of the system of slavery, and pleads for its perpetuity, is at best, accessory to all the evils to which the system gives rise.
