Wayman A.M.E. Church Notes: Sunday
the pastor. the Rev. L P. Ashford, preached
from the subject: Jesus Of Nazareth
Passeth By" The matter in the text pic
tured the blind man who sat on the road
side waiting for Jesus as he heard that He
would pass along that road the man who
waited needed something, his sight. He felt
that II he could contact Jesus he would
receive his sight.
His belief in Jesus Christ did cause him
to receive his sight; thus the link between
the man Of that day, and the human race
of this day, who desire spiritual sight, has
as perfect a contact with Christ as the man
of that day had but first the human family
of today must desire a cleansing from their
sins. The message was well received by the
audience; the spiritual fervor ran high.
Many congratulations were given to the
pastor at the close of the sermon. The
financial report was well sustained we are
