Dr. Strange, according to previous announcement, discoursed on "The Life and Character Of the late Dr. A. J. -DeRosset," and his remarks were both Instructive and edi fying for not only the young1 men of the community, but to all classes of our people. Ho especially held tip the charac ter of Dr. DeRosset as an example to be imitated by the young men of Wilming ton. The deceased, he said, was. a model: First, In his earnest zeal. This made him a successful merchant, a public spirited citizen and a representative churchman. Second, in his disinterested service for "his fellow men. This he showed In his liberal contributions of time and money to Ills church, and this quality he dis- tl.vi still more by his two visits to England for the Wilmington and Weldon J railroad, conducting a suceessi w ena- in'r and ddifficult negotiation, involving large sums, and refusing all compensa tion.

Editors Messenger: In all that has-been said of the ven erable Dr. DeRosset, the one character isitSc Which, impressed the young men most seems to have passed unnoticed. This was his marked courtesy to them: He seemed to take a peculiar pleasure in speaking to young men and making thero feel that he had an interest in them. His bearing- toward them was certainly calculated, if not intended to imake them feel that they were known and noted, and. if noted, then observed, and if observe'd.'v weighed and estimated. This was a stimulus to make them worthy of Ms confidence and esteem, and cause them to realiize that they were part of the social or- lganism,wlth duties to perform,, and ob ligations to discharge. .We can hardly overestimate 'the value of such an in fluence on the. character of the young. A youmg man is often - mode to feel that he is of small importance to the community, and that, therefore, it is of - little moment bow he may deport himself. There is no influence- trtore potential to correct this evil tendency. and to cause the building of character to commence at an early age, than for our older men to make the younger ones feel that there is a community of interest between them,- and that the obligations of good! citizenship - can best be discharged iwhien assumed- early in life. In 'this respect Dr. DeRosset stood conspicuous among the men of our city, and it cannot be doubted that the comity existing between hum and our young men was a formative In fluence on character and an inspiration to higher ideals. I wish to bear testi mony to the fact that Wis influence was felt on my own life. He was indeed a Christian gentleman. J. A. TAYLOR.
