always uppermost in the actions
of our wealthy men. The writer
calls to mind a little happening
which is just now fresh in the life
of at least one, the widow who
received a check of 800 from a
certain prominent lawyer just
few hours after she had lost her
son by death, the son her only
breadwinner. Being acquainted
with the fact that the young man
had been suddenly taken by ac-
cident, this lawyer, who has
money at his disposal at the
bank, knew that the widow need
ed cash, and lost no time in let
ting her have his check with
which to bear necessary expenses.

The River of Sleep
By ELLA WHEELER WILCOX.
CopvriEht. 1919. by American journal Examiner.

T7HERE are curious isles in the River of SleeI
Curious isles without number.
Well visit them all leisurely creep
Down the winding stream whose current is deep,
In our beautiful barge of Slumber.
Quite close to the shore is lying,
And after supper of cakes and cream,
We come to the Night-AIareIsle with a scream.
And hurry away from it crying
And next is the Island-of-Lullaby,
And everyone there rejoices,
The winds are only perfumed sigh,
And the birds that sing in the treetops try
To initiate Mothers voices.
\ little beyond is the Isle-of-Dreams;
Oh, that is the place to be straying.
Everything there is just as it seems;
Dolls real and sunshine CLEANS,
And no one calls us from playing.
And then come to the drollest isle.
And the funniest sounds come pouring
Down from its borderlands once in a while.
And we lean DER our barge and listen and smile;
For that is the Isle-of Snoring.
And the very last isle in the River of Sleep.
Is the sunshiny Ise-of-Waking.
We see it first with our eyes a-peep
And we give yawn-then away we leap,
The barge of Slumber forsakng.

Permit me to say just word

to state an opinion Of my own
which I believe to accord with
the facts, theory on which
am still working?
In the physical realm the law of
heredity holds good absolutely in
most respects, yet there is a place
for advance which is undeniable.
In the realm of mind the law
Of heredity holds good only i'm
part Some children have the
mental characteristics to some
extent Of their parents or grand
parents.
In the realm Of spirit, the high
est department Of mans being,
the law CT heredity fails abso-
lutely In other words, every
child comes into this world in
nocent though not a Christian in
the full sense Of the word.
The effect Of the flesh over the
mind and spirit ana of the lat
ter over the flesh or the relation
of character to flesh and spirit
this relation is partly known and
partly unlSnowable.
But here is the vital point I
am what I am, not because nv
ancestors were what they were.
but because I choose to be what
am, and fight for higher things:
and I will to be the beneficiary Of
salutary surroundings, or I Weld
myself to be the victim of I'M
toward circumstances and evil
forces Of TO-DAY.
Personal Matter.
What man or youth of this dav
has not been much more power
fully influenced, made or unmade
by those with whom they asso-
ciate in the home circle and ont
side than all the ancestral forces
combined. prior to the period Of
consciousness, or the time thew
begin to rise or fall short. Con-
vince me that because the major
ity Of my ancestors were good or
bad, that therefore I MUST BE
so, where is my hope2 Wbv
should l seek good associates. or
any other child or man? Where
is a place in such teachings for
the doctrine and glorious work
OF regeneration by the Spirit Of
God, and Him alone? Where is
the explanation Of the peI saItup,
experiences, admitted bv many
some Of whom may doubt the ex-
perience Of regeneration?
Salvation is a personal matter
not an ancestral question. sucb
views as I emphaticaIy DENY lead
some careless, shallow thinkers
and writer's to say that some chill
dren are born criminals" or ort+-
tie devils" because their parents
or grandparents were bad. If the
child is bad by and because Of the
parents, their teachings. failures
and bad examples did It, and not
a heredity law.
1t seems to me that Christ once
and for all settled this question
when he held Up "a TITTr +
child and said of such is the king
dom Of heaven"

DR.. John E. White and Heredity

Editor, The Georgian:
Rev. J. E, White has been
heard and read with pleasure and
profit by thousands of people, in
Guiding myself. Personally have
respect and esteem for him. He
is a manly man, an aggressive
minister and an acknowledged
scholar
But great men make great
mistakes sometimes, and I con-
slider that Dr.. White has made
in the article published in The
Georgian of June IA some vital
mistakes, wich ought not to go
unchalIenged
Mankind Advancing.
Several paragraphs are here
quoted from our brother that his
exact teaching may be under
stood. He says:
Mankind advancing discov-
hind IT, The great obstacles Of
humanity are not in the path be-
fore, but in the path behind, not
the hardship of new difficulties,
but the handicap of old weak
nesses. 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.
You had four grandparents. eight
great-grandparents, sixteen great
great-grandparents, and sixty
four grandparents five times re-
moved Calculating from the
American settlement at James
town up to you, over 1000 men
and women have lived on this
continent who have come to
point in you. . The healthiest
study a young man can engage in
is the study Of himself to discover
his ancestors, and the study of
his ancestors to discover him
self"
DIR. White further advises If
there is some old grandparent,
who is struggling viciously to get
on top" in our natures against
our virtuous ancestors. we are to
"cut off the dead hands of those
who deserve only a plying mem
ory."

GIANT CAPS
FAILED To ACT

Since the accident in Tonopah,
where three boys were badly mangled
by the explosion of giant caps it has
developed that one of the boys had a
full box OF caps in his pocket when
the explosion occurred. Just why
they did not go off and blow him to
atoms is a question. The wounded
lad managed to hide the caps after
the accident. as the over was lined
with blood and the can dented from
the explosion.

GRADE
To VIRGINIA

The Geiger Grade, leading into Vir-

been placed in good travelling condi-
ton. This will help bring people in
from both ways. Ii a little work
could be put on the hill above the
Morgan Mill. it would make good
travelling from both sides to the
Comstock. This section near En-
rire certainly needs attention, as it is
filled with rocks and is unsafe for ma
chimes and teams.

CLING TO ANCIENT BELIEFS
Cinnamon Must Not Be Disturbed In
Allegiance to Their Idols
and Their Gods.

Cable dispatches recently received
from Pekin relate two marvelously
contradictory pieces of news. One is
that aeroplanes have just been pur-
chased by the Chinese republic, and
the natives are to be taught how to
pilot them. The other item OF news
is that during a cyclone that sunk
100 junks thousands of Chinese fred
bombs and crackers to placate the Of
Tended gods.
According to letters sent home by
missionaries and United States Off
cials in China, adhesion to republi-
can form of government after centu-
ries of royal ruling is not at all a
hard thing to expect If the deeper
roots of the inhabitants of the coun-
try are not disturbed. That is, the
Chinaman would just as leave have
a president as an emperor, provided
his belief in his idols and his gods
is not attacked. And his solemn con
sideration of his ancestors must not
be interfered with nor made light Of
These and some minor elements OF
belief, If treated automatically, will
insure his allegiance to the new order
of things, but disturb them and the
Chinaman may join an uprising at any
time, whether in the name of another
empire or a kingdom.
