This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears." It has been made clear by Jesus that the best is not only within the reach of the worst, but is pre- pared for them if they will but claim it, and it is for the stewards in whose keeping the [ 123 J LEADERSHIP best is to go out and meet the worst while they are still a long way oflF, and conduct them to their heritage. We have power to do this if we will to do it. Need I repeat so obvious a truth? — aU this means suffering. The will to do in- ...volves the wiU to suffer — which is much more than mere willingness : I lay down my life. . . • No man taketh it from me, hut I lay it down of myself I have power to lay it down. Leadership means pain. Yes, more than that — the greater the servant the greater the sufferer. Behold, my servant. . . . He was despised, and rejected of men: a vmn of sorrows and acquainted with grief. He who did most^ shall bear most; the strongest shall stand the most weak. In suggesting this, and its corollary that the fiercest tempest of pain that ever beat, or could beat, on a Leader of men is power- less to undo or weaken him, but on the contrary gives him a new coign of advan- tage for the exercise of his Leadership — [ 124 ] THE POWER OF THE HUMAN WILL I, if I he lifted up from the earth will draw all men unto me.
