That picture is the revelation
of a truth which modern science
convincingly offers to explain
more than half Of the failures In
human life.
1t is the truth about every ono
of us, and 1t may well startle US.
Who and What Are You?
The next time you feel partic-
ularly independent of the circum-
stances around you and free to
carve your way at win without
anybody's permission, 1t will
draw you up sharply to reflect
that your independence and free
dom is something of a delusion
unless you have really achieved it
after the manner of Old Mortal
ity-by a proper discount or cred
il of inherited forces.
You had four grandparents,
eight great grandparents. sixteen
great great-grandparents and six
ty-four grandparents five times
removed.
Calculating from the American
settlement at jamestown up to
you, over 1000 men and women
have lived on this continent who
have come to a point in you.
They are everyone alive in you.
You are what you are because
they were what they were.
This would be terrifying beyond
endurance, but for the fact that
among your ancestors who have
come down in you are some
grandfathers and grandmothers
who kept sober, avoided gambling,
repudiated avarice and honored
the law.
They are also alive, and in you
they contest for the soul Of a
grandson.
The healthiest study a young
man can engage in is the study
of himself to discover his an
oestors. and the study of his an
cestors to discover himself.
If 1t leads him into collision
with some old grandpaTent who is
struggling viciously TO get on top
and seize the reins, and he has to
smash his nose, metaphorically, to
save himself from moral disaster,
let it be done with good courage.
If such harsh treatment with
ones own kith and kin seems to
traverse the law of filial respect
let him look about and he will
discover in the ancestral com
pany an old grandfather and
grandmother beaming with Joy
and cheering him to the echo.
Now that we are told that SCI
ence will teach men how to choose
their posterity, it should be the
next step to teach them how they
may manage in morals to choose
their grandparents, who are wor-

The Young Man in Trouble.

1lC 4OuAAS AANA AL @ANNSN~'
The problem of the dead hand
is gloomiIy asserted in the new
Science of Heredily.
Formerly 1t was believed that
every man started life a fresh
and new creation with fair field
before him. We know now that
every man is a perpetuation Of
forces physical, mental and NOR
al. which have long existed and
which are persistent in him.
Some time ago a picture was
sent to me by a friend. II was
the picture Of a young mana
typical young American. Before
him lay the glitter1ng heights Of
fame.
He is making a desperate ef-
fort to climb them.
Evidently something retards
his progress.
There is an agony of effort, but
also an agony of difficulty.
Looking closely at the picture,
you discover that the young man
IS in trouble with a mesh of Cos
samer chains about his limbs and
body, which are holding him
back. Then the genius Of the ar
fist appears. These slender chains
are the handicaps of heredity.
In the rear is the shadowy form
Of an old grandfather tossing of
a goblet Of wine; not far away
is an old grandmother jauntily
dealing a pack Of cards; in the
central distance behind him is
another ancestor, a miser, clutch
ing a bag of gold; in the ghostly
area farther off is one Of hard

WRITTEN FOR THE GEORGIAN
By REV. DR.. JOHN E. WHITE
Pastor Second Baptist Church

TN Sir Walter Scott's novel, "Old
Mortality" the central figure
is an aged man obsessed with
the idea that when people die
they ought to die and be forgot

business to travel from church.
yard to churchyard laboriously
chiseling off the names on the
tombstones.
The genius Of Sir Walter dis
cerned in human nature ground
for "Old Mortality's" mad fancy.
To cut the names off the tomb
stones was the romantic way Of
protesting the clutch of the past
upon the present-the remorse-
less grip of the dead hand.
The apostles of progress in
every age have made that pro-
test.
Mankind advancing discovers
its most formidable foes behind
it. The great obstacles of hui
mainly are not in the path be-
fore, but in the pain behind, not
the hardship Of new difficulties,
but the handicap of old weak
nesses.
Sidney Lanier's famous lines
are the best poetry on the sub
