Anecdote of Joseph Wolfe.
I HAVE read that when Joseph Wolfe, the Jewish missionary who preached the gospel of the kingdom of God in almost every land, was traveling on one of his Eastern tours, he came where two roads parted. He hesitated a little, not knowing which to choose, and at length, having decided, he started on. A little while afterward he looked over into the other path and saw a lion there. Had he gone there, he doubtless would have been slain. On returning to England, he was relating the circumstance to his sister, and they found on comparing their journals, that at the very hour when he stood hesitating at those paths, and making his choice for life or death, she, in an agony of soul, was crying to God on his behalf, and beseeching that the protection and blessing of the Most High might attend him.—The Christian.
