THE GREATEST OF THESE.

Copyright. 1908. by Edwin A. Nye.

What, in your opinion, is the great
est force in human life?
What is 1t, more than all else, makes
some men succeed and others fail?
Three answers, at least, have been
given:
First.-You are what you are because
of your parentage. You are the sum
Of your ancestors. II you have failed,
it is because some of your forbears
stumbled. You inherit wrong tend
encies"
An eminent Dutch scientist, with the
help of more than 1900 physicians, has
been making study of heredity His
report, just published, shows that
while some mental and physical quail
ties are nherited-generally from the
father-there is little, if any, transmits.

and moral tendencies are not communi-
Gated at ALL
Another answer, aside from heredity.
is this:
Second.-You are what you are be-
cause of the place in which you are
born, the people with whom you lived.
You have been nodded and fashioned
by your early environment.
There is a lot of truth in the power
Of environment to make or mar men,
but it is not the whole truth. There is
another great force. 1t is
Third.-Personal endeaYor. That is
to. say, there is within you a mysteri-
Gus, dominant force that is able to
overcome both heredity and environ
ment. You can be what you want to
be and do what you want to do de-
spite them.
To excuse oneself by saying one Is
completely handicapped by heredity or
by circumstances is self delusion.
