The Rev. Rowland hill used to like Dr. Ryland’s advice to his young academicians: “No sermon is of any value, or likely to be useful, which has not the three R’s in it–Ruin by the Fall; Redemption by Christ; Regeneration by the holy Spirit.” Of himself he (the Rev. R. Hill) remarked: “My aim in every sermon is, a stout and lusty call to sinners, to quicken the saints, and to be made a universal blessing to all.”
