What Makes A Great Leader?! Moses Gives The Answer Called To One Os History’s Greatest Tasks, The Mountain Exile Protests His Inadequacy, But Accepts The Commission —— The Place-Of Oratory In Leadership — One. Man Versus Entrenched Power. I

— B WILLIAM T. ELLIS There are more drum-majors than generals in the world’s presI ent war for a new order. It ia easy jto find men to march in front, with the gaudy trappings of office, j Politicians know the old art of find ■ ing out which way the crowd is I going, and then of strutting pomp- . ously liefore it. But real leaders - commanding officers, strategists, I responsive directors—are the day's , greatest need. These are crisis times for the i world; and we have a surplus of I commentators upon them. But the I men who will do something about | it all are hard to find. And that is I God's first requirement: men who i will hear His voice, and then go. ' Even little leaders are difficult to ' discover—men yho will teach a j Sunday school class, or lead a Boy Scout troop, or work at Big Brothering, or line up their neighbors for good government, or take a i courageous initiative in the farm ior labor or business movement, i The contemporary call for leaderi ship is sounding everywhere, and i qualified men disregard it at the I peril of their immortal souls. What Makes A Leader? In this study of the call ofMoses at the burning bush we get an I idea of what constitutes a great I leader. First of all, he must be a Iman sincerely concerned for the, people whom he would serve. Then he must be a prepared man: it took forty years in Egypt and for-. Ity years in the Sinai desert to bring Moses to maturity for his j task. A leader must himself have i suffered, so that he is able to understand the needs of people. Crowning all, he must have a sense of “call,” of a commission from I above; and a great faith in an allpowerful Providence who will sustain him. Any sucTi leader, equipped with brains and a sense of responsibility. will know his own personal limitations. And he will foresee opposition and ingratitude on the ■ part of the very of»es whom he seeks to serve, as was the case with Moses. Friends will misunderstand him and foes will malign him. That is all a part of the day's I work 'of leadership. Credentials For A Leader When Moses demurred at the call to be his nation's deliverer, for which he felt himself unworthy I God gave him this credential: “I I AM THAT I AM; Thou shalt say I unto the children of Israel, I AM | hath sent me unto you." Thus God I staked His own external existence upon the project. He lent His name, and all the power and authority that implied. I have read a stupid big book by a Chicago theological professor, i who contended that Jehovah was i a tribal deity about whom Moses ' learned from Jethro! Such are the I silly theories that occupy the i minds of many “modern’’ preach i ers, ignoring the clear record of I our Lesson, that Jehovah was the Eternal, the God of the Hebrews ! fathers, of Abraham, Isaac and | Jacob. “New loaders need the old faith. I They cannot break, though they try, with our fathers’ God. who | has led hitherto by many clear i providences The past is an intoI gral part of the present. Who are we to discredit the evidence of two thousand years of Christendom, wherein m 111 io n s of Christians found God true, and so testified? We recall the glorious witness of the sains and martyrs; and of the long line of illustrious scholars; and we cannot escape the Bible s dictum that God is “the same, yesterday. today and forever." The eternal contemporaneousness of God is wrapped up in the mystic phrase. “I AM THAT I AM," which fs every true leader's best credential. We should be slow to break the ties that bind us to the past; or to regard light ly the Church that is the repository of the faith of the ages. As Moses was bidden to recall Abra ham. Isaac and Jacob, so we should keep loyal, even in our newest tasks, to our forbears In passing, we should not be un- ♦ ♦ ♦The Sunday School Lesson for July 18 Is "God Encourag es A Leader." —Exodus 3:13-61 ».*♦•»♦** ♦•♦*•* ’ ’ * I . . - - J

mindful of the heartening truth j that, though our day suffers from i a dearth of great leaders, there I are. nevertheless, many brave and ! noble men and women who. each I in a separate sphere, are true lead-1 ers of their fellows, because sincere followers of God. Is Oratory Needed By Leaders? Most modern public men win to office by their oratory. Moses complained that he was slow of speech —as if Jehovah did not already know his qualifications. Evidently the Lord does not look upon glib speach as a first requirement, of leadership. So patient is God that He often accepts servants on a lower basis than their best; so He provided a mouthpiece for Moses, in his sinooth-speakirTX brother Aaron. Aaron was a man of words, with the defects of the type: we cannot forget his golden talk. These two brothers, then, went south to confront the mighty Pharaoh. and to demand great privileges for the enslaved Hebrews. Their first request, as a gradual approach which they knew would be denied, was for permission for all Jews to go on three days’ march into the wilderness, to hold a religious festival. Pharaoh's disdainful answer was to increase the burdens of the slaves. The first victory was with him. But wait for the end of the story. Great national and humanii tarian reforms do not come easily. I Once begun, they cannot be stop- ’ ped. though oft defeated and set back. “Revolutions Never Go Back” It was easy for Pharaoh to make a “strong” reply to the presumptuous request of this representative of a mass of slaves; just as many a corporation has done in years past to the fair demands of labor. What Pharaoh did not perceive was that this was but the first skirmish of a great war a gainst an irresistible power. He could not understand the foe he flouted. “The stars in their courses Are one with the forces That fight for the freedom of man." This stammering Moses, bearing the marks of a rude desert-dwell-er upon him, was not a leader to be despised, for he was being led. Behind him were Reenforcements beyond all calculations. The man who fights for God and with God may be as certain of ultimate victory as it he already had his foot upon the neck of a vanquished foe. SEVEN SENTENCE SERMONS » * ♦ It is much easier to be critical than to be correct. —Beaconfield. ♦ ♦ * A sound discretion is not so much indicated by never making a mistake as by never repeating one. —Bovee. * • * 'Tis religion that can give Sweetest comfort while wo live, ‘Tis religion can supply. Solid comfort when we die. —Mary Masters. ♦ ♦ • Look not mournfully into the past—it comes not back again; wisely improve the present —it is thine: go forth to meet the shadowy future without fear, and with a manly heart.— Longfellow. He that loveth pleasure shall be la poor man. —Prov. 21:17. The trivial round, the common task Will furnish all we need to ask Room to deny ourselves, a road To bring us daily nearer God. —John Keble. • • * Tv'ere a man's sorrows and disquietudes summed up at the end of his life, it would generally be found that he had suffered more ’from the apprehension of evils that never actually happened to him than from those evils which had really befallen him.—Addison. ————— — Zion Lutheran Church Paul W.
