INSPIRATION FOR YOUNG MEN

Former Representative Jonathan 5.
Willis is an ardentfriendso Of young men
and never loses an opportunity to say
words which will serve to inspire them
to make their lives worthy OF respect
and emulation. In a sermon delivered
in Harrison Street NJ. e. Church, this
city, several days ago he held up the
record of Former United States Dis
trict Attorney Lewis C. Vandegrift to
the young men OF Delaware in these
words:
Only a few days since q worthy man
disappeared from this worlds active
scenes. / saw him a short time be-
fore his death and expressed to him
my personal approval of his life and
character. 1 could hope these feeble
words gave him little comfort during
his final struggle
The memory OF Lewis C. Vandegrif
deserves well of the future annalis
Whenever and wherever his naml
shall be mentioned in coming years 4
d will challenge admiration. The younl
D men of Delaware will find in il a rally
ing cry Of honor and fidelity. Sobrlet
and diligence marked his career. Ap
plicatiOn enlarged fair endowment
p into successful and victorious power!
Z Courage kept pace with conviction
4 Justice gave character and value to al
his official acts and neither friend nc
l. foe was allowed to become n make
D weight in the fine adjustment OF hi
g. purposes. Too soon was he touched t
p the frost of death for not many lil
him will dispense the fragrance Of q
honorable name upon the profession
life of the state.
The sentiment expressed by Mr.. Wi
lis finds an echo in the heart Of eve
person who know Mr.. Vandegrift.

Mr. Ford will have a plurality Of dele
