We recently came in possession of ^ a copy of an address delivered before Tithe law class of the University of djl South Carolina by the Hon. Eugene g? B. Gary, Chief Justice of the Su- at preme Court. We sincerely regret Ell that its length precludes its publication in full in The South Carolina IL Odd Fellow, for it is a gem of rarest si ray. But we reproduce enough of it to show that a man can be good as [? * well as great, as Judge Gary proves himself to be both when he says: @|i Neither God nor nature ever in- (IS tended that the heart and mind HJj should be deprived of contentment, gjL ease and peace, or, if so deprived, that men and women might not restore themselves to a natural state i?|J by ceasing to disobey these laws. If we would obey the Ten Com- ip mandments and love God with all our raU heart, sou! and mind, and our neigh- gS bor as ourself, there would be no [|p necessity for any other moral law as [3&J a basis for the development of char- [|jj acter, for God has told us that even upon the last two hang all the laws. Love of God and of our fellow S|j man enables us to resist those sup- hS posed pleasures that tempt us to do g|j wrong. Such love gives us power |j|j to realize that it is not necessary as for us to rely solely upon physical S3 pleasures for our happiness, andjajj that, after all, only spiritual or men- j ?3 tal enjoyment is lasting. It is a S~] mistake to suppose that a person can- sU not be moral and at the same time ll]S enjoy life's pleasures, even to a {?j"| greater extent than those who rely 15 |j upon pleasures that are solely de- |fl pendent upon physical enjoyment, glj "Desire ever hath a flying foot." E|J A person is not in a proper state to [|s enjoy life on earth until he becomes a Christian and obeys the moral f|C code. Those who disregard the [|n moral laws generally suffer in Hp health and impair their capacity sL for the enjoyment of even physical ar pastimes. The love of God and S3 fellow man tends to prevent cx- [|L cesses of all kinds. I venturs the assertion that no one is happy who S3 does not devote a part of his or her gL life to the cause of their fellow {aS man. We may sometimes admire ?3 the genius of a man like Napoleon or a woman like Cleopatra, hut we gjj do not love those who do not minis- h-3 ter to the uplifting of mankind. g]Jj If the time permitted I could pro- E|i duce numerous illustrations to show | is that this is true. {fa No doubt there are those in this g|j class who will soon be called upon J ?3 to discharge responsible trusts g" and to fill some of the highest s|, offices in the gift of the people. In a? order to be esteemed a man of EE honor it will be necessary for you si to decide whether you will follow HP the code prescribed by the world Ej for the conduct of a gentleman or ffjL the code which the Bible gives us j for the guidance of a Christian j|? gentleman. The principal canon of si the worldly code is that under no if? - - . I circumstances should a gentleman ^ violate the laws of hospitality or friendship. The finest of this type jfc* of gentleman is pictured by Fielding in Tom Jones, the greatest novel ever written. Its fascination, = in a large measure, is due to the fact that it portrays more clearly "" than any other book the marked 2 difference between the gentleman I of the world and the Christian gen- ^ tleman. The Christian gentleman ( ^ is guided by the code found in the B Bible, which contains a far larger 1 number of the elements of morality. | As between the two types there can I be no doubt that the code of the I Christian gentleman tends to make I him a more desirable citizen. ? I hope that all of you will select | I that which I regard as the higher; F code; but if any of you should not, j I then that you will at least observe j I those tenets that are against the, S violation of all trusts and that tend ' B to make you a noble citizen.?S.
