Search The Scriptures-- If You Would Find Eternal Life.

Above all, wait at the cross-foot!
(Charles Spurgeon, "Flowers from a Puritan's Garden" 1883) 

"Wisdom's dole is given at wisdom's gates!"

Those who wish for it--
must go there for it. 

Resort to the 'Beautiful Gate' of the temple--
if you would obtain that healing which 
is given by the gospel. 

Search the Scriptures--
if you would find eternal life. 

Hasten humbly to the gate of prayer--
if you would obtain GOD'S covenant 
blessings. 

Above all, wait at the cross-foot--
for the purchased blessings of JESUS' love. 

The dole is free and large, but GOD has 
HIS place appointed for its distribution--
be often there.

LORD, I would not be absent when 
YOUR alms are being distributed, 
for I am as poor as poverty itself! 

See, I am even now waiting at the portal 
of YOUR grace. Give me, I beseech you, 
my daily bread from Heaven, and send
 me on my way rejoicing.
