CHILDREN'S PRAYERS.

[To THE EDITOR OP THE " SPECTATOR."] Sia,—Having read in last Saturday's Spectator three prayers for children sent in by one of your correspondents, I wonder if any of your readers would be interested in the following "Grace for Children " by Herrick :-

" What God gives, and what we take, 'Tis a gift for Christ His sake;

Be tho meals of Eieanes _and Pease, God be thanked for those and these- Have we Flesh or have we Fish, All are Fragments from His dish. He His Church save, and the King, And our Peace here. like a Spring, Make it ever flourishing."
