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

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.

an Opossum than a Child.
Brunson, Nov. 28?One of the
lost unique products of humanity
a record is at present in evidence
i the town of Brunson. 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. They
re larger, rounder and further

Why should you mourn departed
friends;
Why shed such bitter tears?
Dillon County can wabble along,
Abate your rising fears.
The little infant will not lack
Tender parental care,
By its cradle day and night,
Tom will be watching there.
And Ed a hero in the strife,
Faithful he's standing by
And others will tend its every
want
You'll never hear it cry.
