What reading level is The Story of John Frederic Oberlin book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It means burdens imposed upon us." The unruly spirits in the Ban were exceed- ingly active, and there are always unruly spirits everywhere if they can get half a chance to make trouble. Now they had their opportunity with Oberlin and they used it. They had already begun to criticize his preaching. He was too direct. He was too much in earnest. He was too radical. He was forever suggesting changes, and they protested against his innovations. The more headstrong decided to attack him person- ally.... "Our pastor is too fiery," they said; "we will cool him off. We will put him under the spout when he passes by." Oberlin heard of the threat and lost no time in going to the head- quarters of the opposers. " Why, friends, if you expect to wet me you do not know my horse.
But if you really wish to do it, to make the thing easier for you I will leave my horse at home, and go on foot after this to give you a chance." After this interview they hesitated, and decided to rest with the threat.
At another time Oberlin received information that certain ones opposed to his ideas had a plan to waylay him and inflict personal castigation.
