POTENCY OF HEREDITARY ENVIRONMENT AND WILL

placed in a cleanly home. An old
 proverb read, Gan any good thing come out of Nazareth" Yes. The Son of God came out of it pure, clean
 and holy as the day He was born. Does your environment mould your life. If so, what is the character Of the mould? God or bad? If you cannot change it move out before it makes you a poor citizen, an idler or re-
 moves from the desire to seek Christ and the things worth while in life. AS Nature camouflages her inhabi- tsnts for protection and preservation, so environment will camoudage men until their friends cannot distinguish them from their good or evil sur roundings.
 If heredity is that unseen force of the past which controls us and en- virOnment is but servant waiting upon us, then will-pOwer is tho sov- ercign who sits on the throne of the mind and wields great power. It is the power that shapes the destiny of our lives and throws aside the forces that would crush us or make us their ser wants. There are many individuals wko are in this false bondage, there are those who say that heredity left them with weak will and there is no hope for them. Each day men fall into sin persuading themselves that they htsve not the will-power to throw it off, when in reality they are lazy, cowardly, selfish or self-satisfied. If you have been hiding behind your grandfathers' weaknesses come out in the open and be man, use your will power to do right. Luther did not re- main in the miners hut or Lincoln in the log cabin. It is the T Cant's," that are always mourning and throw ing up their hands, while it is the*I Wills" that discover new lands, further civilization and have back bone enough to be live Christians. The man with will-power is showing proof of His maker. Which influence is controlling your life?

Rev. A. G. Shriver preached ser mon on "The Potency of Heredity, Environment and Will" at the Pres byterian church on Sunday last, from which the following are excerpts:
 There are three potent forces which act upon men during their earthly career, shaping them into what they are; determining what they will be. These forces act in silent manner that men scarcely recognize there ex' istence, yet no man can deny the DO tency of these powers.
 Since the, discovery of these forces men of thought have been trying to determine which one exerts the great st influence and as yet no one has solved the question. The believers In Heredity hold that as man is born so he must live with all the traits, features and the pecularities which his numerous ancestors have handed to him. Before man is born certain forces enter into his birthright, whether they be good or bad. Think of the many streams of influence poured into each life-four grandpar- ents, then eight great grandparents, each group having it's good or bad points. It would seem impossible for any one to be absolutely free to go his own way with these many unseen 1n- fluences controlling him. Can we believe that God has so ordered our lives that we cannot deviate from the ancestral channels? Will our lives be limited by their experiences? Will the future generations be limited by our restrictions? Is there no power to re- lease us from this tyrannical inf1u- ence of our forefathers!
 The over emphasis of ancestral handicaps makes weddings of us and we are forever making it an excuse, instead of exercising our will-powers to overcome what we believe Is q pHySlCdl, melIIdl UT HUI el LII o" O.'Sh'
 There are those who claim that en- vironment is the mightest of all. En- yironment is the effect of surrounding conditions upon our external lives. Physically, man is moulded by the climate, the food, and the work of the land where he dwells. Mentally, he IS moulded by the institutions, the gov arnments. the social life and the class of reading he may pursue. Re ligiously, he is moulded by the par ental influence and the teaching or friends. A child of clean, godly par ents placed in the slums is very like ly to adapt the life of slum-dweller. The reverse is true of slum child
