A Christian man was walking up and down the station platform one day, when he heard another man swearing and taking God’s name in vain. The Christian began to hum quietly the hymn, “Jesus, Lover of My Soul.”
The other man listened; his swearing ceased. Soon he came to the Christian and said, “Sir, I apologize! I’m sorry that I took the Lord’s name in vain. If Jesus is the Lover of your soul, as He was of my mother’s, I know how you must feel toward Him. I’ll not take His holy name in vain again.”
