thought and character of Carohna ' s young men. It is this humble devotion to duty that has made his hfe such a bulwark of strength and power. Dr. Carlisle has been a member of every General Conference of the M. E. Church, South since its separation from the Northern Church, except the last.. He has contributed much to literature, especially the literature of Southern Methodism. It is hard for one who has been permitted to sit in Dr. Carlisle ' s class room for four years to restrain his pen when writing a sketch of this kind. But knowing Dr. Carlisle ' s mod- esty, we will close with these words taken from a similar publication issued by the students of his Alma Mater. Speaking of Dr. Carlisle ' s work, the Garnet and Black says: But one hesitates even to try to estimate these achievements, for two reasons : One is. Dr. Carlisle utterly abhors anything like the sounding trump of eulogy; and the other is, that after one has done one ' s best, there stands the beauty of Dr. Carlisle ' s char- acter, and the power of his influence, to shame the inadequacy of words. The South Carolina College has wrought greatly in the history of this State ; her sons have shaped history according to her teachings. But none has caught more clearly or held to more firmly ' the deeper teachings of her mystic tone, that manhood, grounded in a vigorous, sure morality, and striving for the best ideals of pure living and high thinking, is the thing that counts for most in the making of men and of States. Such a conception of the mission of a college has given unity to Dr. Carlisle ' s work as a teacher, and such conceptions of life he has made singularly beautiful and attractive by his own daily living. Thus what he is, is the most efficient element in his power. 9
