STUDY OF THE SCRIPTURES.

A silver egg was once prepared as a present to a Saxon queen. Open the silver by a secret spring and there was found a yolk of gold. Find the spring of gold, and it flew open and disclosed a beautiful bird. Press the wings of the bird and in its breast was found a crown, jewelled and radiant. And even within the crown, upheld by a spring like the rest, was a ring of diamonds which fitted the finger of the princess herself.
Oh, how many a promise there is within a promise in the Scriptures, the silver around the gold, the gold around the jewels; yet, how few of God’s children ever find their way far enough among the springs to discover the crown of his rejoicing or the ring of his covenant of peace.
