Mark 12:37 David therefore himself calls him Lord; and from where is he then his son? And the common people heard him gladly. Mr. Hill always wished to be considered the apostle of the common people, in resemblance of Him whom the common people heard gladly, and in whose teaching "the poor had the Gospel preached unto them." But he who undertakes this work of faith and labour of love will find that he has not to address angels, and some. times hardly men. He will need to learn the advice which the philosopher was wont to give his pupils, "Study the people;" or that which Cromwell gave to his soldiers, "Fire low." Had his men fired high they would have done no more execution than some of our preachers, who shoot over their hearers' heads. (Rowland Hill.)
