Patterson then related the fall of his
associates, the fall of friends, the fall
Of his oldest son and finally his own
personal fall, when he and his friends
had believed he was strong. He told

load the common school with functions,

We may talk largely about the mora

we must never forget hat it is in the

that wherever the home neglects this

But there comes a day when the
