The fallacy of assuming that the fact it is an inheritance, predetermines its future use, is obvious. The advisor is concerned with making the best use of what is there putting it at work under the most favorable conditions. Obviously he cannot utilize what is not there; neither can the educator.

Those who dream they can play false with Him are mistaken.
