![“Ready-to-Halt, Poor Fearing, and thou, Mrs. Despondency, and Much-afraid, go often there [the empty tomb]; let it be your favorite haunt. There build a tabernacle, there abide. And often say to your heart, when you are in distress and sorrow, Come, see the place where the Lord lay.” quote by Charles Spurgeon](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/af7/charles-spurgeon-82_despondency_ready-to-halt-poor-fearing-and-thou-mrs_647374.jpg)
