Secret of Silent Endurance
Baxendale's Anecdotes
James 5:11
Behold, we count them happy which endure. You have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord…


There lived in a village near Burnley a girl who was persecuted in her own home because she was a Christian. She struggled on bravely, seeking strength from God, and rejoicing that she was a partaker of Christ's sufferings. The struggle was too much for her, but He willed it so; and at length her sufferings were ended. When they came to take off the clothes from her poor dead body, they found a piece of paper sewn inside her dress, and on it was written, "He opened not His mouth."
