failed He had to leave his school work
after a time he entered the business
college but was not strong enough to
do indoor work
A year ago his father and mother
went with him to California hoping the
change of climate would be beneficial
but there was no marked change and
Carl wanted to come to his home and
friends He realized he could not be
with them lpng and many times ex
pressed a willingness and desire to go to
his home above He was a great suffer
er and prayed oft times that God would
take him home
