The Thinker Is the
Real Ruler of World

Behind the invention there Is
the inventor; behind every dis
covery there is the pioneer; and
behind each new thought there is
the thinker.
The thinker is thus the real
ruler of the world. He initiates
new ideas, he is behind each great
advance that is made, and really
it is he who determines the line
along which mankind is destined
to advance. The thinkers are the
worlds real leaders; can we not
as well say that they are the
worlds real rulers? The pen is
mightier than the sword!-Rev.
