I against the mind nr the intellect. • • • Bible Meaning of "Heart'’ Even in modern times, with all our passion for scientifically ac curate terms, there is no one word which means just what this word "heart" means in the Bible. There the heart stands for the center of the personality as a whole. If we used such words as "core" or "root" or "mainspring" of life, we should be getting at the idea. It is not emotional, though it af fects the emotions. It is not in tellectual, though it lies back of thinking. It does not quite mean character, rather it means the tap root of character. Let us try to illustrate it. Tell the same piece of news to several peo ple—say the report of some acci dent or disaster, and see how they react. One will be quite indifferent, one will burst into tears, another will laugh, another will say, "Can't we do something to help?" Now' what makes the difference? All have heard the same words, but the words have different ef fects. In Bible language, the rea son is that they have different hearts. The inner makeup is some thing deeper than what the eyes see or the ears hear, it is deeper than the brain, it lies at the bot tom of the feelings. When the Bible speaks of a person's heart, it is not speaking of the way he acts or talks or feels or thinks; it means the way the man is. * * *
