Charleston Boys of Long Ago. (By Rev. Samuel A. Weber in The Sunday School Visitor.) Willidm May Wightman graduated at the Charleston College, in South Carolinat, in 1827. lie was the only member of the graduating class. Of others who had been members of the class, I mention two: James C. Fur man and Edgar T. luist. These three were Charleston boys, and each was a pious member of the Church: Buist, a Presbyterian; Furman, a Baptist; and Wightman, a Methodist. The fathers of the first two were distinguished pastors of leadign Charleston Church es., IWightman's parents were Metho dists, his mother an Englishwoman, who in her childhood had been petted and fondled by John Wesley. All three %went at once into the min istry, and all of them early distin guished themselves as eloquent and learned preachers of their several churches. Each was In due time made a doctor of divinity-a distinctly dis criminating honor in those days. In addition, Wightman was made an IL.D. by his Alma later. It was my privilege to know per sonally and very pleantly' each one of these great men. Dr. Buist was my co-pastor in Greenville in 1870. He was then probably a little past his prime, but was popular in the Pulpit and much beloved as a pastor and a citizen. I shall never forget his in structive sermons and his beautiful and spiritual prayers. -ils effusive fraternity was tnfailing. Or. Fur man was president of the Furman (Baptist) University, at Greenivillk. while I was th. Miethodist pastor there. lie was at that time in the mellow maturity of his nascent old age, a ripe scholar, a twise church leader, and a preacher of marvelous felicity of diction and of genuine spiritual power. ,He was always my favorite preacher of his denomination.

I have mentioned all these facts and opinions In order to mention the in teresting circumstafice that ' these three .preachers, who were 'boy friends and college mates in their native city, .afterwards became presidents of three leading colleges, located In three ad joining counteis In Upper South Caro lina. -Dr. -Buist was president and In some sense founder of the Presby terian College at iLaurens, while Drs. Wightman and Furman laid the foun dations respectively of Wofford Col lege and Furman University, which two Institutions have been greatly in fluential in the Methodist and Baptist Churches of South Carolina. At a revival meeting In Spartanburg while I was a Wofford student there, I heard Dr. Wightman, while counsel ing early piety to a congregation con sisting largely of studentsfil refer to the circumstances detailed above. He referred to the fact that the three pious boys of his college class were then at the head of the three Institu tions of learning in three adjoining Counties. I have heard all three of these good men refer with manifest satisfaction to the story which I have just told. without questionIt Hunt's Salve falls in the treatment of Eacan, Tetter.Rbngworn.
