EXCELLENT ADVICE.

A YOUNG man just starting upon his work in the ministry was one day talking to an aged minister in London, who had spent a lifetime in the service. The young man said, according to the Christian Citizen.—
“You have had a great deal of experience; you know many things that I ought to learn. Can’t you give me some advice to carry with me in my new duties?”
“Yes, I can,” was the response. “I will give you a piece of advice. You know that in every town in England, no matter how small, in every village or hamlet, tho’ it be hidden in the folds of the mountains or wrapped round by the far-off sea, in every clump of farmhouses, you can find a road which, if you follow it, will take you to London. Just so every text which you shall choose to preach from in the Bible will have a road which leads to Jesus. Be sure you find that road and follow it; be careful not to miss it once. This is my advice to you.”
