An old friend-a minister in Edinborgh- told me that when his little girl was com- mitting to memory the hyma commencing

he found she was lurosently committing it to memory in the more tempting form—

Come, my soul, thy soup prepare. Un another ocsusien this same child told her mother that she thought God was kinder to sheep than to people. When asked Why S sho said, Because He gives them steak," On being asked how en bad got this or traordinary notion inte her bead, it was found that two lines of the 100th Psalas had taken this form in her mind...

We are His flock, Ho doth us feed: And for His sheep He doth a steak.
