MARK GREYBER cont'd
to get away from the whole setup. Once in the East, she remained and it was many weeks since she had gone. So Mr. Greyber was not only unhappy but very lonely too. Instead of trying to remedy the sit uation by changing his whole atti tude in the matter and admitting he had been wrong all along, he only worked the harder, thinking that by so doing he’d get along all right without his family as well as with out God.
