Where Are You Going?

By K. C. RUSSELL

ONE of the speakers at the recent Federal Council of the Protestant Churches of America, in illustrating the importance of young men and women having some definite aim in life, if they expect to succeed, recited the following experience:—
“Upon a certain occasion the president of Yale College called for a cabman to come in great haste to his residence. The distinguished man took his seat in the cab, and the driver drove his horses at a rapid rate through one of our large Eastern cities. Up one street and down another they went until the passenger, thinking he must be nearing his destination, finally asked the cabman if they were nearly there. The driver replied, ‘I don’t know, sir; you haven’t told me yet where you want to go.’”
Does this illustration apply to any of the students in our schools? or have they all some definite object in view?
