What reading level is The Angels' Song book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
At the birth of a child, as Humboldtrelates, a fire was kindled on the floor of the hut, and a vessel ofwater placed beside it; but not with the murderous intent of thosesavage tribes who practise infanticide, and, pressed by hunger, destroy their children to save their food. The infant here was firstplunged into the water--buried, as we should say, in baptism; andafterwards swept rapidly and unharmed through the flaming fire. A veryremarkable rite; and one that, as we read the story, recalled ...to mindthis double baptism, "He shall baptize you, " said Jesus, "with theHoly Ghost and with fire;" "Except a man be born of water and of theSpirit, he cannot see the kingdom of God. " Its administration toinfants, to such as had committed no sin, nor knew, indeed, theirright hand from their left, implied a belief in the presence, not ofacquired, but of original impurity. It is based on that; and withoutit this rite is not only mysterious, but meaningless. Blind is the eyewhich does not see in this old pagan ceremony a tradition of theprimeval Fall, and dull the ear which does not hear in its voice nofaint echo of these words, "I was shapen in iniquity, and in sin didmy mother conceive me.
