When St. Francis Xavier preached in one of the cities of Japan some the multitude made sport of him. One man, more wanton than rest, went to him while he is addressed the people, pretend that he had something to communicate in private. Upon his approach, Xavier leaned his head to learn what he had to say. The scorner thus gained his object, which was to spit freely upon the face of the missionary and thus insult him in the most public manner. The missionary without speaking a word or making the least sign of anger, took out his handkerchief, wiped his face, and continued his discussion as if nothing had occurred. By such a heroic control of his passion, the scorn of the audience was turned into admiration. The most learned doctor of the city, who happened to present, said to himself that a law, which taught men such virtue, inspired men with such unshaken courage, and gave them so perfect a victory over themselves could not but be from god. So dear friends we must bear insult from others god will take care of them
