DR. Carlisle Commsnts on the Death
of president Mckinley.

president, Dr.. Jas. II. Carlisle spoke
as follows:
George Washington died late in the
evening Of Saturday, December IA Il
was late in the evening of Tuesday, d.
cember 81. when Charleston first heard
the words washing on is dead " Wn.
Mckinley died early on the morning Of
Saturday, s:ptsn Der IA. Oa the after
noon Of that day we read in our even
ing paper that William, ompsror Of
Germany, was moved by the aad inselli-
sence and ordered the German flag to
be lowered in mourning and the Stars
and Stripes raised. This was staltlipg.
1t seems that the world is becoming
smaller. The great human family is
croWding more closely around central
hearth. An Italian mourner in Wid,
oW's weeds ss1da . swift message to
one just initiated into her great sorrow:
I'VE are sis:ers il suffering" We ali
feel to dsy that it seems improbable,
impossible that war will ever stamp his
red fcos, and nations feel the shock.
Tao weeks ago there lived in Chissgo
private citiz n-knoRn to comparative
ly few even in that city. To-day his
rugged name has been carried into all
the languages Of Europe. He is per-
haps the most conspicuous man in cur
country to-day. In & few days great
mass Of excited people will be gathered
in and around the court houss in
large northern cisy. There will come a
moment when, if he is not present, the
machinery Of the court will stop until
ne is brought in. Many will be unable
to enter, but he and his escort will bs
admitted. He will find q comfortable
chair in prominent part Of the build
,Dg; all eyes will be turned on him,
Why is this? The young man has not
displayed any great genius. he has
not made ereat discovery to bless
mankind. Why then is he SO famous?
He hap committed a great crime. He
struck blow at q representative man
and the vast machinery Of society quiv-
ers in sympathy to resent it. When
his name is called it will not be the
Mckinley family against the prisoner
at the bar. 1t will be the Empire
State Of New York with its seven mil
lions Of plaintiffs, rather the forty four
sister commonVealths will jim with
1000 600. Ali English speaking peo-
pies, the civilized world in some sense
may he considered rs taking part in the
solemn jadicial inquest. Crime may
give the most insignificant person great
position and Irominencs.
Some thoughtful people love to
think Of our world as the only one
dsrkened by sin. There may come a
time when Intelligence sHifser than
through our wonderful wires may teach
TO other worlds our history. The loyal
inhabitants cf the universe will look
1pon the sinful element Ct our race, the
profane eIeuent, the ungodly element
rs all good citizens look upon this
bloody and deceitfui man. The intel
llgent human being who persists IN
striking at the honor, the authority OF
The Divine Ruler Of the Universe must
ha7s q fearful prominence sometime,
somewhere.
But Why does the Omnipotent Ruler
allow these things to take place with
seeming impunity? He leaV good
men so strangely, so utterly to the mar'
cy Of bad men. The wicked seem to
have the right Of Tay, unchsllsnged.
l. might seem that no man IS safe any
where. There are 10 many dessTuc-
tive agencies and 30 many laSless msn
around US. Human life and human So
ciety are 30 vulnerablel, This is surely
myetery that waits for its solution.
Perhaps We can pueh this mystery one
step farther back. It is only the prop
erty and the body Of the good man at
the mercy Of the wicked. and lawissE.
Every mans soul is seeare, uoless SIS
he consents to evil. The 6sndish ass
ASSN may send his balls to the vital
part Of his fellow man, even while
holding out his hand in friendly salu-
tation. He can not throw spot or
sssin on his soul, without his consent.
No man is absolutely necessary to
the world or to his own county, The
great current Of public and private life
will sweep on IS before when the css-
ket is laid in Canton cemetery to day.
But surely The great wave Of feeling
that is passing over Us should lesVe
some golden ssnds when it passes away,
L.tus take up the burdens Of common
life again with more vivid connections
about some things; the terrible malig.
nifty Of the human will, the sad spect-
acle Of a perverted, rerzied, demon
isc human soul in is desperation and
ruin; she wide harvest Of woe that may
follow one sinful impulse when admit
ed and brooded over; the pathos Of do
mestic human love; the blessed minis
try Of grief as a pssoemaker, strength
eniDg the ties severed by political snd
Le .tional feelings; tie eolemnlty Of the
moment when millions are moved BY
one impulse, and thinking the same
thoughts, indulging she same feelings,
the mighty streams that o7srruo
oceans, mountain chains and national
lines; the 6seting nature Of all human
glory, the superiority Of the man to all
the regaIia of Office; the great inferiori-
ty of the president in the White House
With all his patronage and power, to
the humble Christian, who when called
suddenly and cruelty into the valley
Of the shadow CT death can ask fer his
murderer LIST no one hurt him."
a, d for her dearer than life to him,
'sBreak it gently to he7," then turning
his thoughts away from esrth, whisper
IN meek sub ission, trust and hope,
"Nesrer, Ny God, to Thee" "God's
will be done"
