What reading level is The Divine Law of Beneficence book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Hence, when he sees some tempting article of luxury, having by him unappropriated the money SUPERIOR EFFICIENCY. 27 which should have been the Lord's, he buys it ; when some tempting, though perhaps hazardous in- vestment presents, having the money by him unap- propriated, he invests it. Thus, through lack of sys- tem, many sums in the purses even of the benevo- lent are turned aside from the Lord's treasury. Self- interest has the advantage in being beforehand and having constant access to our... hearts. Systematic charity helps to put the interest of Christ's cause on an equal footing.
System prevents yielding to second thoughts and withholdmg a purposed charity. Many a man, under the influence of a charity sermon, or of the teachings of conscience, or of the sight of distress, purposes in his heart to give a certain amount. As the subject first strikes his unbiassed judgment, such an amount seems not too large for the urgency of the case and his own means. But selfishness steps in and argues the point ; it presents to the man his various wants, and pretty soon convinces him that the purposed sum is quite too much ; then, forgetting Paul's injunction, "Every man, according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give, " he gives little or nothing.
