It was erected by the men and women and children in the public and private schools and Sunday schools of, the state and nation, who knew and loved him, and is an illus trated incentive for young men to follow the example of the man who, as a Christian lad, laid the foundation for his life upon God’s Book and, by strict adherence to its teachipgs, and obedience to its fundamental principles of obli gation to God and man, through years of testings and trials, triumphed. Mr. Wanamaker demonstrated to the world that a business man could be loyal to God; could love his fellow men; could labor with heart and hand in the daily task; could be a leader among business men; could leave behind him an endur ing memorial in thousands of hearts, as evi denced by this memorial in stone. To the one who pens these lines, Mr. Wana maker's life was a constant inspiration and in centive to be "diligent in business, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord," and for the privilege of fellowship with him as his pastor, in his home and in Christian service, he is grateful to God.
