The Investment of Influence

CHAPTER V
17/20

To this end were great men born.

Nature constantly exhibits this principle.

The shell of the peach shelters the inner seed; the outer petals of the bud the tender germ; the breast of the mother-bird protects the helpless birdlets; the eagle flies under her young and gently eases them to the ground; above the babe's helplessness rise the parents' shield and armor.

God appoints strong men, the industrial giants, to protect the weak and poor.

The laws of helpfulness ask them to forswear a part of their industrial rights; and they fulfill their destiny only by fulfilling the debt of strength to weakness.
To identify one's self with those in bonds is the very core of the Christian life.
