This essay, written by Miss Clara McMillan, won the prize given last year by the William Thompson chapter of St. Matthews. Much has been recorded of those who, through noble patriotism and unwavering devotion, heroically gave themselves to the cause of liberty; J but when we consider their various claims to our respect and admiration, does not the character of gallant Lafayette stand among the y ' highest? ' , ... ?? in iiit uie victorious eu?u.v wao pressing hard upon our feeble ranks. It was the gloomiest period of the Revolutionary struggle. Our fathers were in the depths of despondency, for it seemed as though the last hope 9f freedom must fade even in the hearts of the most cheerful and brave. It was just at this critical period that Lafayette, a French nobleman, of immense wealth and unbounded generosity, came to offer his life and his wealth to assist the sacred cause of liberty. * This enthusiastic young nobleman was of a high rank; married to a beautiful and accomplished woman and accustomed to the luxuries of his native court. Yet he willingly left all these for the hardships and dangers of the American war. He had heard at a dinner party given by the French officials in honor of the n duke of Gloucester the story of the American Revolution, and its cause. */ ^ His generous heart at once responded in sympathy for the American people. ' His natural love of liberty, his dislike for the ceremonial^ 01 tne court, hia dream of accomplishing something that would make the world happier and better; above all, his desire for freedom?all these combined to urge him into immediate action. Although his own court threw every obstacle in the way, his ardor was not dampened; and disregarding the jeers of some and caution of others, he determined to fit out aj vessel at his own expense. The French government disapprov-| ed of his mission and sought by vax * rious means to prevent his departure; but he succeeded in escaping their vigilance, accompanied by the Baron de Kalb and several others. Soon his ship, the proud little Victory, was on her way. bringing that much needed aid to our war worn and almost despairing soldiers. ' ? Many days elapsed before the Victory was driven into Georgetown bay, on the evening of June 13, 1777. The first night on American soil wa^ spent i* ' t at the old Southern mansion of Maj. Huger, where Lafayette ancl his companions received a most cordial and enthusiastic welcome. The next day < the party went out on horseback to Charleston, and from there by coach to Philadelphia to visit the American congress. But foreign volunteers were so many and so persistent that congress had grown a bit weary c>f the assumption and demands of adventurers, so Lafayette's services as an officer were declined. He then / immediately offered to serve without pay and" as a volunteer. It was a moment when all things combined to darken the prospect of success; when Burgoyne was marching from Canada for the invasion of New York and the capture of the Hudson; when Howe was threatening1 Philadelphia and preparing to join Burgoyne and stamp out the rebellion?it was at this time that La-j fayette joined our army. His timely assistance did much to cheer and rouse our dispirited troops. Unsheathing his sword upon the field of Brandywine, he first encountered the , ^ British?his hereditary foes. He was but 19 when thus found ^ t It o vpt Jlgllllllg MUC u> aiuc " lilt V1*V . eran soldier of Bunker Hill and although but a youth he was soon taken into the affections and confidence of Washington. Lafayette was soon afterwards given the rank and commission of major general. On November 2." he disclosed the British position near the town of Gloucester, and with a force of 350 men completely routed the Hessian advance?an additional proof of his bravery and wisdom as a leader of American troops.

Again during the hardships and rigors of that miserable winter at Valley Forge this wealthy and noble young Frenchman set his suffering men the most excellent example of devotion, frugality, self-denial and courage under severest privation. In October, 177S, he obtained a furlough to go to his home in France, because of the death of his little girl. All France welcomed the hero and paragon, as he as hailed! The king publicly forgave and congratulated him; so while on the crest of popularity with his fellow countrymen, he urged and entreated the immediate preparation of aid for America. On April 28,'1780, he returned to Boston and hastily joined the commander-in-chief at Morristown, tell ing the joyful news of the aid he had secured. Lafayette was ever active in the struggle to protect Virginia and finally took a prominent part in the surrender at Yorktown. The young hero had become the pride and boast of the army. He had won the affection of all. His counsels were eagerly listened to by the oldest veterans of the war and throughout the long struggle with the greatest bravery and unchanging fidelity he fought for the cause of freedom. When at length he returned to his native land he was surrounded by a halo of glory and was recognized as an "apostle of liberty." How well he deserved that title! With many expressions of friendship and appreciation from Washington, who had been his most sincere and devoted friend, he sailed for his home in December, 1781. Lafayette again visited America for a few months in 1784 and was everywhere hailed with cheers of admiration and delight. Then came .that long and dreadful period of horror. crime and death known as the French revolution?the bloody reign of terror?in which brave Lafayette, of course, took part. He was exiled, imprisoned and made to suffer innumerable hardships. On a Sunday in July, 1824, a single ship sailed into the harbor of New York and soon the news was spread abroad that the Marquis de Lafayette had come. The glad tidings w-ere carried from State to State, while shouts rang throughout the republic, "Honor to Lafayette," "Welcome to the nation's guest!" Thus was wide-spread an uiiiversal joy proclaimed. He had come to behold the independence and freedom which he had so valiantly assisted in achieving.

Had it not been for Lafayette American independence would not have been so speedily secured. If from his history we have learned not only to revere the memory of that noble Frenchman, but have learned lessons of persistence, fidelity and loyalty to truth and to honor ?then indeed the life of Lafayette was not spent in vain. May we ever pay beautiful tribute to his memory as not only a friend of America but as the benefactor of his race. In May, 1S34.
