What reading level is The Lure And the Lore of Travel book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Opposite sits Pilate in his royal robes of state, surrounded by all the pomp and splendor of imperial Rome. No hint of shrinking, you might say, in that figure, and yet, as you look beneath the glittering surface, piercing through the body to the naked soul of him, the man seems literally to dwindle before your eyes until by some subtle swift play of inner vision the masks drop from the figures and the scene is changed — Pilate is the con- demned one and Christ stands forth the judge.
There is ...a great pity in Christ's eye as He looks upon Pilate washing his hands. Can the man really believe that water will wash away the stain? What pitiful superstitions are peo- ple bound by, what meaningless rites suffice them, how shallow the Pilate creed! Ah, standing there with the weight of the world's sin crushing Him, Christ knows that the ruler's saying, " I wash my hands of this," will not do away with the least atom of responsibility.
About to pour out His blood in token of re- generation, to teach the world the law of sacri- fice, He knows that easy-going formulas are not enough, that water does not suffice, that without shedding of blood is no remission.
