"SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES."

Glance not with careless eye The sacred pages o'er; Nor lightly lay the volume by, To think of it no more.
Ungrateful!—pause and think, Nor madly throw aside The passport to eternal life— The sure and only guide.
Be not content to hear What others say; but go, Like the Bereans, daily search "Whether these things are so."
Search deeply, prayerfully; There is no promise given To those who will not strive t'obtain Admission into Heaven.
Sure 'tis our highest end Eternal life to gain: "Search," then, "the Scriptures;" they alone The words of life contain.
They point our wandering feet To Christ, the living way! O read, believe, repent, obey— Thus reign in endless day.
