What reading level is Voices From the Silent Land; Or, Leaves of Consolation for the Afflicted book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
• . . He does not directly say that pain is not an evil, but by a sophistical, turn professes that philosophy will never confess it to be an evil. But what consolation does the sufferer draw from the quibbling nicety ? " What dif- ference is there," as Archbishop Tillotson well in- quires, " between things being troublesome and being evils, when all the evil of an aflliction lies in the trouble it creates to us?" Christianity knows none of these fanciful distinctions. She never pretends to insi...st that pain is not an evil, but she does more ; she converts it into a good. Christianity, therefore, teaches a fortitude as much more noble than philosophy, as meeting pain with resignation to the hand that inflicts it is more heroic than denying it to be an evil.
Digitized byCjOOQlC CHRISTIAN RESIGNATION. 191 To submit on the mere human ground that there is no alternative is not resignation, but hopelessness.
