What reading level is The Assassination Its Lessons to Young Men book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
— A second lesson which is impressed upon us by this great crime is the danger to young men of cherishing a dis- loyal spirit to the Government under ivhich they live.
Obedience to lawfully constituted Grovernment is every where enjoined as a sacred duty in the word of God ; and it is required that that obedience be rendered not only to the good but to the froward and the perverse ; and it is further- moro required, that obedience be rendered, not from fear of punishment, but from conscience to...ward God, — obedience to rulers being duty to God. The cherishing of a disloyal spirit to a divinely constituted Government is, therefore, a sin against God. Now, it is not so much the sin as the danger to young men of cherishing this spirit to which we now call your special attention. Young men are proverbial, not so much for their ]3rudence and discretion as for the fire, ardor and impulse of their feelings. With them, from feeling to action it is often but a moment and a step. Hence, if they imbibe wrong principles and cherish wrong feelings, they are always in danger of being stimulated to wrong action ; and hence, if a young man cherishes malign or rancorous feelings towards the Government under wliich he lives, and whose protection he receives, he is in danger of being spurred up by evil influences or circumstances to seek the destruction of that Government, and that commonly ends in his own destruction.
