Asserted?heredity and envilonmment are great forces in our path of progress, either for good or evil and_sometimes they are used as excuses for our mistakes and short-comings, but the will power is that great force in man which proves the things that seem impossible,?possible when exercised by faith and trust in God. Martin Luther, Richard [Allen and Daniel A.
