In yonder bright clime Christian friendships of earth

Shall live through eternity’s day,

Shall blossom like plants in the land of their birth,

But never to suffer decay.

W. J. Brock.

What shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul.—Mark, viii. 36.

For me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.—Philippians, i. 21.

But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.—Philippians, iii. 7.
