\£?o(Y)en rsmreßfrvs WILL AND HEREDITY By ELLA WHEELER WILCOX t Once upon a time I |I put an idea as old jas Qod, and as large as the universe, into simple and compact form for the benefit of the ordinary mind, just as a homeopathist puts Strom? medicines Into small pills for the benefit of those who cannot, or will not, assimilate big doses of drugs. Here is my poetical pill: I] Dut from the tomb crept Vice with hideous leer. 1 am Heredity," he cried, "whom all men fear! ; sleep, but die not. When fate calls .

V lofty shape rose sudden in his path, t cried, "You lie!" and struck at him In wrath. leredity, the braggart, stark and still, 'ell prostrate at the feet of Mighty Will. Now comes a protest from a physl lan. He says: "I write you because I believe your alth to be wrong, in direct antagon sm to the grand idea of an omniscient j ind omnipotent Creator, and more-! iver, because I believe that Its unlver- j al acceptance would lead to untold, suffering, disease and death. This! nuch science teaches me." Doctor Protests in Verse In order to prove his "grand" idea j if an omniscient and omnipotent Crea- | or.

Or bless it with noble minds and hearts like oak. I have know scores of human beings who were yoked like cattle to their load of belief in the hopelessness of their inheritance, and who "died as the fool dieth," either physically or mor ally, because they EXPECTED to. I know a woman to-day who be lieves she "inherited" consumption through two generations of ancestors, and who is faithfully inviting it to make her the third victim. But there are others, whom it is a greater inspiration to know. One is a robust woman of GO, the only survivor of a family of consump tives. At 16 she was declared to be in the grasp of the disease. One day she fell to thinking, and God "illuminated" her mind with a great truth. She said to herself: "If 1 inherit bodily disease from my parents, do I not inherit divine health from God? He made my soul, and He must wish me to be well! I will be." She began to breathe. Until this time she had used only a few cells of her lungs—afraid of the fresh air because she "inherited'' weak lungs. Then she practiced gentle calis thenics and increased the exercises gradually. She took no medicines be cause she had all her life taken them to no avail. She believed In her di vine right to health, and she obtained robust health. No matter what we do not know of God and the beginning, this we do know—that some Intelligence greater than the mind of man conceived and executed this tremendous and glorious scheme of worlds. It Overcomes All Disease Every part of the universe Is a part of that cause. Every star has a purpose; every hu man life has a purpose. The star knows and obeys; man ignores and rebels. But once let him know and obey and TWO DIE IX SHORT TIME Special to The Telegraph Dallastown, Pa., May 12.—Yester day the second death in the family of | George and Ida Finney within two weeks occurred. The first was that of j Ellen, a 15-year-old daughter, of tu berculosis of only a few months dura- I tion, and the second that of Malvin, a 6-year-old son. The latter was af j t'ected with a bealing in the head, [which started about a week ago. t Ab- Isence from home of the father has made the strain a severe one on the | mother, who has been helped by rela j tives and friends. RANK STOCK SELLS HIGH Special to The Telegraph I Dillsburg, Pa., May 12. —At the last | regular meeting of the directors of the Dillsburg National Bank a semi annual dividend of 3\k per cent, was declared on the capital stock. This bank is the oldest financial institution in Dillsburg and has a capital stock of $60,000 and a surplus of over one half of this amount. The stock of this bank, par value of which is SIOO per share, has sold recently l'or $l6O per share. realize his higher heredity and live up to It, and he becomes a part of om nipotence. He is a crown prince thereafter and helps direct his own destiny. In spite of the protest of my corre spondent, I do not think this belie* is pernicious, or that Its acceptance can lead to "disease and death." Quite the contrary. I know that it over comes disease, poverty and misery when It is persisted In. As for death, that Is only a part of eternal life, and we do not want to overcome it. Therefore doctors and medicines have their place in the world. Men will need physicians until they learn their true relation to nature. Then they will know how to heal them selves. It is a beautiful thing to die, but it is a terrible thing to be sick, poor and miserable while you live. Let man learn that he is heir to health, happiness and plenty. They are his. They belong to every one of us. Let every soul whose eye scans these lines believe he is to be well, happy and prosperous, because it is his right. Expect it and work for It. It will be done through you, not for you. Is a Divine Inheritance The woman who cured consumption breathed and exercised while she de clared health was her divine inherit ance. There is no noble height thou canst not climb; All triumphs may be thine in Time's futurity If, whatso'er thy fault, thou dost not faint or halt, But lean upon the staff of God's security. Earth has no claim the soul cannot contest; Know thyself part of that Eternal Source, And naught can stand before they spirit's force— The soul's divine Inheritance is best.
