P.. a ^ Mraud^tan mail matter ^ DiHon. 1 C. December 16.1909. jc 1111 ?1 rr DR. CARLISLE. AS A TEACHER s< lit The following: address was deivered by Senator W. J. Mont- .V ^ : mery at the Wofford Alumni J1' ' Ml ^u^*ns' vH.cim, subject assigned me reDillon, ^.g the discussion, briefly, of ^ the life-work of tbe most serious- s( minded and reverential man I ever knew. Physically, Dr. Car- ^ lisle was of stalwart statue, towering above his fellows like a giant oak of the forest. His mental j. grasp was prodigious; his memory, ^ marvelous. Whether calculating . IE the distances of far away suns and ^ planets cr delving among the ^ classics, he was equally at home. ^ He had at the same time at his . ? . . . - 01 wmmanu ine wisest sayings Ot ? \ the best prose authors, while quo- w tations from the sacred poets illu mined his lectures in the class room and on the rostrum. .j In any and all of these fields of scholarship, however, there are tj men who equal and may be excel hi?n. Hence, elsewhere must be p sought his almost miraculous power and success as a teacher. 1 /Added, however, to his ripe f tolarship, his wonderful mental B in th^asP) was a man Qf transcedt'(,n.nt moral quality. No student ^e/who ever sat under his teaching, however, immoral he may have th. been; no man of the world who ciai ever heard him speak from the h ' *t:hurch chancel or public rostrum, N n but realized in the forum /of his own conscience that he had listened to a man whose moral qual00,1 ity was beyond question or cavil, nc w' The foregoing statement in re- 01 k<uu l?j me iremenauous moral 11 power of Dr. Carlisle will be uni- c< versally conceded, yet the inquiry oi may naturally arise, what was the Je secret of it. Is not the answer to ai be found in 'his ideals'? It will 03 doubtless be accepted at axiom w that no man is higher or lower than his ideals, and that no man ^ is better or worse than his ideals, ls he cannot draw taller than him- ai self. 113 SI Of Scotch parentage and descent in childhood he was taught to be- ^ lieve in the truth of the Holy j Scriptures; that the Christ-life was the highest ideal for mortal ^ man to approximate; that every a] man was his brother and that he j was his brother's keeper. Once jthese ideals were accepted by him, ^ in a mental composition such as a his, they were unalterable and ir- a revocable. He reached young . man-hood about 1850, when great ^ men of high ideals were to the . IS fore-front. It was in the days of ^ Calhoun and Preston and their ^ compeers in statesmanship, and of p Capers, and Pearce, and Thornton and Wightman in the church . life of State- Men of their mould o; were an inspiration to any young man 01 nice ideals. With ideals such as have been stated, his purpose in life was single?to teach young men. From this purpose, the applause of the multitude, the allurements of place and power eettld not swerve him a hair's ^ breadth; and from 1854 to 1909, at tifl&es even feeling the pinch of actual poverty, he rung true to his calling. Recurring to his ideals for a moment, has any student who ever sat under his tutelage forgotten some of his Bible lessons, read & at the chapel exercises: "My son forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandents, for s length of days and long life and peace, shall they add to thee." | "80 teach us to number our days that we shall apply our hearts HHvKJ wwwm* 4 eon, artrart unto my wis- * Sjjjji Lff- * ifc. . ii ' ^ ?? 1?. lerstanding, that thou mayest re ard discretion and that thy lipi nay keep knowledge." "When I was a child, I though s a child, I understood as a child, spoke as a child; hut when I be ame a man, I put away childish lings." These quotations might be mnlplied. In the class room it may be uthfully stated, books were a icoadary consideration. High leals*were first. A young man light leave his class room not re>lved to be a better student, but b could not do so without a resolfinn tn hp a hotfpr man ol haif t may have stumbled and faln in his after life. As surely as the Gadarene womi was cured of her infirmity by a >uch of the Saviour's garment, > surely wis the life of a student Tected by daily contact with the igh moral influence which eman:ed from Dr. Carlisle. In the ideals, then, of his own fe, shining out from his personlity, permeating and penetrating ito the lives of those with whom e came into contact, and his marelous power, in terse, bold, conse English to impress them upon thers, may be found his wonderil success as a teacher. If those ho live after him are to impress temselves as teachers or citizens pon their day and generation, ley must emulate his ideals and pproximate his moral purity in leir daily walk and conversation. Certainly every Wofford man resent can say in his own heart: 'he mother may forget her child She dandled on her knee, ?ut I'll not forget thee, great teacher, And what thou hast done for me. MONSTROSITY AT BRUNSON. egress Gives Birth to Being More Like an Opossum than a Child.

Very re;ntly a negro woman, a resident I this town, grave birth to an ob:ct or being: decidedly, in appearace, much more animal than huian. The mother is an unmarried oman of about 35 years of age; lack, of grood health and strong hysique. The child, or product in appearance wholly animal, ad is in shape, size and general uke-up a fac-simile of an opostm, minus the tail, and furry tin. In the plaoe of^the tail, lere is a stub of about an inch in ngth, the end of it suggesting aaputation of the caudal appenage. The shape of the four legs ad feet, with claws; the shape of le bead and size of the body mbs and head are all 'possumke or animal-like. Only the eyes re unlike the possum's.
