Monday being Armistice Day an
erIogv written by DR.. Dalema Dra-
per on Paris T. Carlisle, was reau
bv her. 1t follows:
OF all the heroes who fell III INC
World War, whose memory we cnel
ish and honor, none is more IoVeu
and respected by the people OF tnls
town than Paris T. Carlisle.
A man of sterling QUALITIES un-
hlamished character, earnest coll
viction and high ideals.
It is very fitting that we honor
him today as our hero, the one IRON
our town who willingly gave MS hle
We all admire the friendly boy.
The one who is willing to perform
kindness and is respectful to ola
people. The boy who stands Waltlng
to perform a task for some one
These are the acts of a gentleman
and predict a good citizen.
All these qualities were dlsplayeu
by Paris Carlisle and marked MIN
child above the average. -,
We find the same qualities IN chll.
dren today but when we find all OF
them in one child that child is the
exception and not the average.
Many of you were his schoolmates
YOU still remember his sunshlny
face and joyous nature. His eager
ness to play and his willingness TO
work-a companion to girls anu
pal to boys.
laughter which was but one OF his
good qualities.
Some one has said Laugh and the /
world laughs with you" Paris must
have believe this, for he gave his |
laugh unstintingly to all. 1t was an |
inspiration to those who heard It,
and they never forgot it.
There are few of us who could not |
profit by this same unselfish act.
The modern idea of life equip
ment. comprises a high school edu-
cation followed by college and uni
versity.
Our hero acked none of these.
After he had graduated with honors I
he came home, filled with the high !
aspirations of youth, determined to
live and get the best out of life.
To him life was home and home
was obedience, mother and
eternity-and all these he found in
his home town.
Great men of knowledge and eX-
perience have always given edyice
to young men starting out on life's
tourney. They are doing the same
thing today, but they never forget
to mention love and appreciation of
beauty. Without these two qualities
1ife's road would be rough and rug
ged and the way would seem very
very long.
The depth of our hero's love was
manifested in his devotion. to lis
mother. His appreciation Of beauty
was displayed in his flower garden.
Flowers to him were like human
beings. They responded to love and
good treatment and the flowers in
his yard were not neglected. The
beauty of the rose, the sunshine of
the daffodil and the sweetness Of the
purple violet were all reflected in
his character. He who has no time
for cultivation of flowers loses much,
for valuable lessons are taught by
these sprightly messengers of beau
ty and love.
When the United States entered
the World War and gave first call
for volunteers, many did not re-
spond. You will recall that many
claimed duty at home was just as
necessary as duty abroad-who had
the right to judge? Was it not mat
ter of decision from the real inner ]
self? Was it not question that each :
had to decide for himself? It was a
act. Paris Carlisle held a I
position. One for which !
he had especially fitted himself and ,
which few could fill, but the great
nner soul of the man, which was far ,
greater than the earthly house which I
confined it, cried out for expression.
All that hope portrays, that obed- !
ence embraces, that mother meant 7
md eternity holds, were shut up in
hat good spirit {
Honor to him was far greater t
han career. +
Honor pointed to obedience, home '
nd eternity and eternity meant to r
i'm neither life nor death-but SER q
ice. +
Service is a sign of greatness in a
ny man, for he who would be great s
lust be servant of all, and charity +
egins at home, so Carlisle was de- n
oted to his mother and sister. He n
