A Great Difference
MAX JUKES lived in the state of New York. He did not believe in Christian training. He married a girl of like character. From this union 1,026 descendants have been studied. Three hundred of them died prematurely. One hundred were sent to the penitentiary for an average of 13 years each. One hundred ninety were public prostitutes. There were 100 drunkards, and the family cost the state huge sums of money. They made no contribution to society.
JONATHAN EDWARDS also lived in New York. He believed in Christian training, and married a girl of like character. From this union 729 descendants have been studied. Out of this family have come 300 preachers, 65 college professors, 13 university presidents, 60 authors, 3 United States congressmen and one Vice-President of the United States.
The difference in the two families: "Christian training in youth and heart conversions to Christ."
