the way of firmness and incorrupti bility. When all has been said, it is His mouth that is most sweet. Even His enemies had to testify that never did a man speak as He did. Children came; fallen women were drawn to Him; and publicans and sinners crowded about Him. Someone has well said, “His per fection does not glitter, it glows.” His humanity, sympathy, and humility were wonderful. His gentleness and tenderness were never weakness. His courage was never cruelty. Think of Him before the high priest, before Herod, or before Pilate. In all and through all He maintains, and He alone, His royal dignity. The best of men are only men at the best. He is infinitely more. Other men were out standing for some special excellence— Moses for meekness, Job for patience, Daniel for steadfastness, Paul for zeal, and John for love, but Christ has every good quality, and to an infinite degree. Having exhausted her descrip tion, but not His excellences and beauties, she exclaims in her ecstasy, “He is altogether lovely." She gives up the task as beyond her. He beggars description. He is firmly rooted in her heart. fl?he account is told of a soldier in Napoleon’s army who was wounded one day by a bullet which entered his breast above his heart; he.was carried to the rear, and the surgeon was probing the wound with his knife. Finally, the man said, “An inch deep er, and you will find the emperor.” So it is with the name of our Beloved in our hearts. Song of Solomon 1:3. Finally, our text discloses T he D ecision . 16b. “This is my beloved, and this is my friend, 0 daughters of Jerusalem.” Now the bride declares her personal testimony. It indicates a decision def initely made at some time in the past. It includes high appreciation of the loved one, appropriation (“my” twice), and open declaration and confession of him. Every trusting heart who is resting in Christ the Lord has come
to the same conclusion. Who would care to disown Him? Shall we be ashamed to declare Him as ours? The incident is told of an old Chris tian lady who had once known much of the Bible by heart. Age began to tell on her memory. Eventually only one precious portion stayed with her, IT Timothy 1:12. By and by part of that slipped, and all she could say was, “That which I have committed unto him.” At last, near death, her lips would move. She was repeating but one word, “Him — Him — Him.” She had lost the whole Bible but one word. But she had the whole Bible in that one word. Can you give a testimony similar to that of the Shulammite? Do you declare Christ the Beloved One of your soul, your Friend? When you do in humility and in the power of the Holy Spirit, there will be those, as the daughters of Jerusalem of that day, who will ask, “Whither is thy beloved gone, O thou fairest among women? Whither hath thy beloved turned him, That we may seek him with thee?” ( 6 : 1 ).
