******************************************************
In the 1930’s, Roland Hayes, a gifted Negro 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 of 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 old home church, talking about Jesus before Pilate.

About the angry crowd and the sinsults…and how he said, “They pushed Jesus, they pushed Him real hard, but He never said a word, never a mublin’ word.”

And, remembering His love, His forgiveness, I looked out at the crowd booing, hissing, insulting, and I prayed silently, quietly, intensely.

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 of Shubert.”

Perhaps an oyster is one of the finest examples of patience in action.

It takes an irritation and makes it a pearl.

Once, Winston Churchill, having endured a long-winded ill tempered vituperation of an angry opponent, rose at the end of the tirade and said “My honorable colleague should, by now, have trained himself not to generate more indignation than he has the capacity to hold.”

By your steadfastness and patient endurance you shall win the true life of your souls.
Luke 21: 19
