" We can acquire habits of mind and tem- per ; we can overcome ourselves, our laziness, our idleness, our forgetfulness, our selfishness. Will is a factor in the destiny of man greater than hereditary influences and the effects of environment combined. Mr. W. M. F. Rounds, who is qualified to speak, says, " I wish to put myself on record, after a study of the criminal, and contrary to my previous utterances, as going squarely back to the doctrine of free will as laid down by our fathers. " Dr. ...G. A. Gordon states it as the conclusion of a large number of thinkers that genius and saintliness 150 THE METHOD OF JESUS. are transcendent, above heredity and environ- ment. Dr. A. H. Bradford in his very helpful study, " Heredity and Christian Problems, " cites the case of a colored woman whose heritage was vicious and criminal, and whose circumstances of life since childhood had been such as to tend to the development of passion, who, nevertheless, despite blood and environ- ment, had turned from her old surroundings and old friends, and had made a new life for herself ; another case of a woman, whose home was utterly distasteful, without the least love between herself and husband, who, however, after years of such conditions, constantly grow- ing worse, by a simple act of will decided that a new domestic life must begin, and set herself, unaided, to accomplish this, and it did begin ; and a third case, of a man of fine and noble character, who had risen to the front rank of his profession out of an heredity which he called "all pure devil.
