Carlisle C. Carpenter was a rare
young man and a choice Christian
character. He seems to have been a
Christian from childhood. He joined
( the Methodist church at the tender
J age of eleven years and remained a
loyal and devoted member to the end.
When he went to Chicago he united
by letter with Grace Methodist church
of that city, where he had since con,
tinued his membership. While pursuing
his studies in Chicago he was an active
worker among the young people of the
Grace church chapter of the Epworth
J League, serving in the capacity of first
vice president. His fellowship was a
! blessing and delight to those who
knew him. Life was sweet to him, but
his trust was in God and he was not
afraid. A few days ago he was with
his friends and loved ones Today he
is with God. He leaves father and
mother, Mr.. and Mrs X. NJ. Carpenter,
a sister, Miss Maurine Carpenter of
this city, and brother, Maurice Car.
