Shepherds of God\u2019s flock are not to lord it over the flock, but to prove to be examples. They are to lead by their example. This is graphically illustrated in the U. S. Army. The symbol of the infantry (footsoldiers who do most of the front-line fighting) is a soldier with a rifle in one hand, helmet cocked, and head looking back behind him.
