Carlisle, who will deliver the historical address this evening at 7:30 o’clock: Rev. M. L. carliale, D- D- The South Carolina Conference has no finer specimen of well-rounded manhood' than is found in the sub ject of this sketch. Rev. Mark L. Car lisle. He Is a fine specimen of phys ical manhood, a good illustration of intellectual development, and a strik ing embodiment of spiritual force and influence. He is the son of Rev. John M. Car lisle, one of the most highly honored members of the conference, and Mrs. Elizabeth Carlisle. He was born at Pendleton, S. C-, on October 13, 1863. Brother Carlisle has had the very best educational advantages. His preparatory training was received In the usual schools of the country. His collegiate training was received at Wofford College, where, in 1882, he won the Greek medal, and from which institution he graduated in June, 1883, with the first honor of his class. While in college, he made a specialty of the languages. His purixjse was to teach, so he earnestly tried to master everything in the col lege course, so that he might be fully prepared for his life work. But God had even a better work than this for his servant. Brother Carlisle was converted in 1885 at Marion, S. C.. and the divine call to preach came immediately. The call was so clear and distinct that he had nothing to do but yield himself and enter with all his soul into the work. During the session of the confer ence held at Orangeburg. S. C., In December, 1886, Brother Carlisle, with A. W. Attaway, John A. Rice, C. W. Creighton, M. W. Hook and Preston L. Kirton, was received on trial. He has labored In the following fields: Clifton Circuit, 1887; Walhal- la Circuit, 1888-90; Camden Station, 1891-4; Chester Station, 1895-6; Cen tral church, Spartanburg, 1897-1900. At the recent session of the confer ence he was sent to Washington Street, Columbia, then to the Central church, Spartanburg, later to Bethel, at Charleston, and is now’ pastor of the First Methodist church, Marion, where he has most auspiciously en tered upon his work. As a preacher, Brother Garlisle is far above the ordinary. His style Is quiet and conversational. His object is to quietly Inject Into the minds and hearts of his hearers truths that are destined to produce a harvest in life and character. In June, 1901, Wofford College conferred the honor ary degree of D. D. upon him. Bishop Morison arrived yesterday afternoon and will call the confer ence to order in the morning at 9:30 o’clock.
