WHAT THEN?

By M. E. P.

“AFTER the joys of earth, What then? After its songs of mirth, What then? After its hours of sight, After its dream so bright, What then? What then?”
“Only an empty name, Only a weary frame, Only a conscious smart, Only an aching heart. Only a sad farewell, To a world loved so well, Only a silent bed, With the unnumbered dead.
“But, after this sad farewell To a world loved so well, What then? After this silent bed With the unnumbered dead, What then? What then?”
Shall we not all consider this subject, and answer, as in the light of eternity, this question, Whither, O my soul, art thou tending? to glory and immortality through Christ? or to destruction and everlasting banishment from his presence?
M. E. P.
