Wayman A. M. E. Church: Sunday the
pastor, the Rev. L. P. Ashford, preached
from the subject: Believing with the
lieveth unto righteousness" Rom. 10 10.
That is just what they say about us.
They say that we Christians have allowed
our hearts to run away with our heads,
that we are very fond of enjoying our
emotions and our affections. but are
lazy about exact thinking. So they go
on to declare that our religion is little
better than sentiment and that in it we
are not seekers for truth but seekers after
feeling. None the less, believe that St.
Paul meant what he said. He knew that
the kind of belief that really saves, be-
lief of the heart; that what really matters
about man or woman Is what he or she
loves; that in the conflict between head
and heart, the heart will always have the
last word.
