How to Hear the Gospel.

ROWLAND HILL paid a visit to an old friend, a few years before his death, who said to him:—"Mr. Hill, it is just sixty-five years since I first heard you preach, and I remember your text and part of your sermon. You told us that some people were very squeamish about the delivery of different ministers who preached the gospel. You said, 'Supposing you were attending to hear a will read where you expected a legacy to be left to you, would you employ the time when it was reading in criticising the manner in which the lawyer read it? No, you would be giving all ear to hear if anything was left to you, and how much it was. That is the way I would advise you to hear the gospel.' "
This was excellent advice, and well worth remembering sixty-five years.
