FORBEARANCE

In the Bengali alphabet no three letters are alike in sound except the three sibilants (Sa, Sha, and Sa); and they all mean for us, 4 forbear', 'forbear', 'forbear . (In Bengali Sa means forbear. It is derived from the Sanskrit root Sah.) This shows that even from our childhood we are made to learn forbearance through our very alphabet. The quality of forbearance is of the highest importance to every man.

Look at the anvil of a blacksmith -how it is hammered and beaten ; yet it moves not from its place. Let men learn patience and endurance from it.
