SAYS HERED|TY IS
PUSHED TOO FAR
MINNESOTA EXPERT PREFERS
ROBUST BURGLAR TO CON-
SUMPTIVE BISHOP FOR
HIS FATHER.

London, England.-"Heredity has
been pushed too far" declared Rev.
DR.. Samuel George Smith, the emin-
emf sociologist of the University of
Minnesota, when a correspondent
asked him today to expound further
the theory involved in this startling
assertion that he made yesterday in
the Eugenics Congress.
eff / We're to choose m own faith
er / would rather have a robust
burglar than a consumptive Bishop
THE newspapers omitted" Prof.
Smith explained, IAN important qua
LITIGATION of my statement. namely:
That if | were a burglars son l
should want to be adopted into an
other family as soon as born.
Il am the hereto of this congress.
/ believe in social and moral forces
rather than in mere biological eX-
periments.
What l want is that every child
born into the world should have an
economic education and moral train
ing. Nature we'll but society
often does very badly.
THE only established point in
heredity is that the child receives
from it's parents either strength or
weakness.
No Proof of Crime Heredity.
There is no evidence that GRIMM
ality is Inherited any more than con
sumption is inherited, but either may
be acquired at an early age by conta-
gion.
"a consumptive Bishop ought to
have no children because consum-
ption is one of the most evident rea-
sons for physical degeneration. More
feeble minded children are born from
consumptives than any other class.
Even though a burglars son may
prove a knave there's still a chance
for reformation. but If a Bishops son
proves a fool there is neither help
nor hope.
Between 1850 and 1860 in France
an investigation was made of the
parentage of all accused of crime. II
was found that the number of those
accused who had some criminal an
cestory was about the same as that
of the whole population. In order to
reform France by biological methods
it would be necessary to lock up al
Frenchmen.
New York's Great Work.
THE New York Children's Home
Society for fifty years has beer
sending out thousands of waits ano
strays who have been adopted h,

ed out as we'll as the average of the
population. Many of them have
shown political, intellectual and NOR
al distinction. Their parents were so
cial failures and in the majority o
cases moral failures too"

The Parable of the Fish Net.

We are not to think of The Kingdom
as IL net. but that the embryo King
don resembles a fishing experience
with a net. in which We're gathered all
kinds of fish. This is Il parable of the
embryo Kingdom because it relates to
a work done in this Age. in connec-
ton with the finding of the little
in glory. The Lord during this Age
has not beer seeking all kinds of peo-
pie. He has been calling, drawing es-
pecially. and dealing with, only the
elect" only the sanity.
But. incidentally. a variety of other
kinds of fish have gotten into the Cos
pei Net. some from worldly ambitions,
some because religious systems are n
good matrimonial field, others because
of social privileges and standing, 9th
ers because they would use religion as
a cloak fof business enterprises. etc.
The parable tells us that "when the
net was full 1t was drawn ashore and
the fish sorted. Then the fishing
ceased. Who can say that the oppor-
tunity for entering the net as one of
the true fish of the kind the Lord is
seeking may not he almost at an end?
Who can say that the Gospel Net, with
its full assortment of churcnianity of
every style. will not soon be drawn
ashore that the suitable. the elect, may
be gathered into the Kingdom?

started ahead at full speed and ran
full tilt into the car, breaking its
back 80 that it died in a few minutes
Mr.. Buchanan didn't find out what
