To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The one is heard with pleasure, the other with pain. Style makes the difference. ' Solomon in his wis- dom as the preacher " sought out acceptable words." Wisdom still resides in like selection. The language is ample enough, the interests involved are great enough, SIS STYLE. 249 and the convictions that have constrained consecration to the ministry have been profound enough to induce necessary effort to secure the best words to comniend the truth to every man's intelligence and " conscience in... the sight of God." Cicero named three things as essential to successful oratory: 1. That the speaker know what to say. 2. That his thoughts be properly arranged. 3. That he employ the most suitable expressions. Thus he makes ability to speak in the best way the crowning qualifica- tion. Thought is obscure or transparent, languid or nervous, feeble or strong, as language makes it. Nor must it be forgotten that there is a vast difference be- tween propriety and tameness; between the bold and the reckless; between the elegant and the affected; be- tween the familiar and the vulgar.
