What reading level is The Story of the L M S book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
WE have already seen that the London Missionary Society's Directors, in sending forth missionaries to the savage inhabitants of the South Seas, and South Africa, had not for- gotten the claims of the enormous populations of the East. The very vastness of the undertaking might have discouraged them from attempting to evangelize these almost innumerable peoples. In China alone there were three hundred millions of inhabitants. To add to the difficulty, the Chinese were known to be deeply attached ...to the teachings of their own great philosopher Confucius, and to be exceedingly conservative of all their ancient customs and traditions. Further, intercourse with the English people, except for purposes of trade, was absolutely forbidden. Thus the door of entrance to the mind and heart of China seemed not only closed, but abundantly barred and bolted. Difficulties, however, in regard to the extension of Christianity exist only to be overcome. There were not wanting, very early in this century, those who were determined that an effort should be made to secure a footing in the " Celestial " empire.
