GIT cannot be denied that there
is something in heredity.
No doubt we may inherit certain
family traits, mental as well as
physical. But / believe God puts
in our hands much OF the mould
ing Of our destinies. If we have
the desire and the courage, many
times we cannot overcome the
worst and capitalize the best
which is In US.
"Call 1t what you viii, lazi-
ness, cowardice-as long as we
continue to pass the buck and
blame our shortcomings on
heredity, we are going to stand
still and the broad-minded and the
ambitious are going to pass us by,
what we amount to in this
world is pretty much up to our
selves. with some exceptions;
those exceptions are the VIII OF
God and we cannot contend them.
But by the mercy OF God, we
can overcome. And by His Grace
we can become masters OF our.
destinies and captains of our
souls"
Whether regular subscribers or
not. an readers Of The Times

of heredity. A copy of "a Son
Of His Father" Harold Hell
