“Just Lovely”

By W. H. Saxby

SHORTLY after the close of a revival season in one of our large churches, a sister with whom I was well acquainted wrote me that her son had been converted, and among other things, she said, “He is just lovely!” This had the more weight with me, as the mother was not given to undue praise.

The expression puzzled me, for I had known the boy before, when he was far from being “just lovely.”

This was the way—the only way—I could solve the puzzle: there had come into his life so fully the One who is “the chiefest among ten thousand,” and “altogether lovely” (S. of S. 5: 10, 16), that the secret was out. It was all clear now. “Christ liveth in me.” Gal. 2: 20.

It is my sincere prayer that many another mother may have a similar experience with her son or daughter—that truly he or she is becoming “just lovely.” W. H. SAXBY.
