NOT A MUMBLIN WORD

In the 1930’s, Roland Hayes, a gifted black singer, stood before a hostile Nazi audience in Berlin’s Beethoven Hall. As he tried to sing, they called him every dirty name that his race had ever endured.

In telling of the incident, he says, “Resentment began to swell up inside me. I began to feel toward them what they felt toward me, and then for some strange reason, I remembered a sermon I heard as a little boy.

The old minister standing there in the pulpit in my home church, talking about Jesus before Pilate. About the angry crowd and the insults…and how he said, “They pushed Jesus, they pushed Him real hard, but He never said a word, never a mumblin’ word.”

And, remembering His love, His forgiveness, I looked out at the crowd booing, hissing, insulting and I prayed silently, intently. For ten minutes they never let up. For ten minutes, I prayed not to become like them. Then, slowly, they quit and when it was quiet, I began to softly sing a song by Schubert.”
