In the devefopment OF this subject, /
have thought best to speak in this open
enccS,' and, second, of early environ
mcnts and the Development of the Chll1
! Life" In spes king OF heredity, ir this
| connection, II is my puTpC Sc 10 present
the subject decorously yet so plainly
that the most illiterate and unthinkins
! person will comprehend fully the !mpog-
| tant truths | desire to present.
| BY heredity, we mean the transmission
| of mental or physical perculiarties,
| diseases +
| spring. providence has much to do with
! our lNc", Dut the SINS OF the parents
are visited upon the children even unto
! the third ana fourth generation This
| Is only the natural with reference to our
physical nature, divinely expressed.
| Ihe chllo that Is despolIed or It's birth-
| rlSht inheritance OF q sound ORGANIZATION
Dy the ignorance or perVerSlly OF ITS pa
