ON LEADERSHIP… BY JOHN O. MOSELEY
The need for leaders exists whenever men aspire to be civilized. No democratic order can long survive without men and women of high purpose and integrity devoting themselves to the common welfare. Without leaders no school can maintain a noble spirit and high ideals of character and personal attainment. Without leaders industry stagnates and agriculture languishes. Without leaders the practice of law loses its character as public service and lawyers become hirelings of special privilege. Without leaders, education degenerates into petty drill and lesson hearing. Even the church without inspired and able leaders becomes commonplace.
Leadership or chaos – these are the alternatives. And leadership must awaken anew with each generation if the human race is to go forward. Humanity will always make a place for real leadership.
