The Investment of Influence

CHAPTER I
30/33

Some there are who, denied opportunity, have sought out those ambitious to learn, and, educating them, have sent their own personality out through artists, jurists or authors they have trained.

Herein is the test of the greatness of editor or statesman or merchant.

He has so incarnated his ideas or methods in his helpers that, while his body is one, his spirit has many-shaped forms; so that his journal, or institution, or party feels no jar nor shock in his death, but moves quietly forward because he is still here living and working in those into whom his spirit is incarnated.

Death ends the single life, but our multiplied life in others survives.
The supreme example of atmosphere and influence is Jesus Christ.

His was a force mightier than intellect.
