Too many people are haunted by five dismal words: "But it’s too late now". An unfaithful husband would like to salvage his marriage. "But it’s too late now". An office worker, fired because of her drinking problem, wishes she could conquer her alcoholism and begin again. "But it’s too late now".
Few families are without some broken personal relationships. At first those involved may be unwilling to hold out an olive branch. Then, when some time has passed, they may feel it’s too late to offer an apology or try to make amends.
66.____________________
Not long ago I came upon an article about the distinguished musician Robert Shaw, who was retiring as music director and conductor of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra. Years earlier, when I was the new pastor of Marble Church in New York City, Shaw came to me and suggested we have a group of young people sing at our church services. He led such a chorale and was wilting to make it available.
67.____________________
Unfortunately, some of the members of the congregation, including two of the elders who were strong traditionalists, thought the singing was too much of a departure from the accepted way of doing things at Marble Church. They made their displeasure known to me in unmistakable terms.
68.____________________
Almost half a century passed. In all that time I never saw or spoke to Shaw. But then, as I read the article, my conscience reminded me I had made a mistake that still was unrectified.
When I got home, I wrote a letter to Robert Shaw telling him that I had been wrong and was sorry.
69.____________________
What a lift I got from that! What happy evidence it was that even after many years a word of apology is never too late.
70.____________________
Because it never is.
A. This struck me as an idea that would appeal to the younger members of our congregation. So I told him to go ahead. The people who sang were spirited and enthusiastic, and I thought they added a new and welcome dimension to our worship services.
B. Why not search your mind and see if there is some past episode that calls for a word of reconciliation, some personal problem unsolved, some good deed left undone? Even if a long time has elapsed, don’t assume it’s too late.
C. I say to such people: "Nonsense! It’s never too late to make a fresh start".
D. Finally, against my better judgment, I told Shaw that I was sorry, but we would have to terminate the arrangement. He was disappointed, but said he understood. This incident would always bother me. I had failed to have the courage of my convictions.
E. As we had to make the church hall available for other purposes, one day I came to Shaw and made this clear. Without a word, be made his way to me and gave me his hand, leaving me puzzled as to whether this was a gesture of agreement or disappointment.
F. Almost at once a reply came from this great man of music, thanking me for "the generosity, grace and candidness" of my letter and claiming that the fault had been as much his as mine.
