A Blessing Before Meat.

The excellent Rowland Hill, of London, was an eminently pious and useful man; probably more useful in the conversion of sinners than any other man during the almost seventy years that he occupied the pulpit. He had frequently a very original manner of presenting a common thought. The following lines, which he wrote for some of his young friends to repeat before meals, may serve as an illustration:—

Some have meat, and cannot eat; Some could eat, but have no meat; But I have meat, and I can eat, God's name be praised.
