TH.URSTON, Editor America's Nhst Beautiful Cemetery (By Miss Irene Martin) On New Year's Day, ll17, a man stood on a hilltop overlooking the small country cemetery of some fifty- five acres. He saw no building! only a patch of lawn with a few straggling headstones, and the hill- sides sere and brown. In that mom- ent, a vision came to him of what this tiny "God's Acre" mijrht become, and standing there, he made a pro- mise, which, upon reaching home he put into words called "The Builder's Creed." Thus Forest Lawn Cemetery, founded in 1906 at Glendale, Calif., was reborn in 1917 as Forest Lawn Memorial Park. It is based on the conviction that to fulfill its duty to humanity, a cemetery must serve the living as well as the departed. For the Builder said "I believe in a happy Eternal Life." "I believe those of us left should be glad in the certain 'belief that those gone before have entered into that happier life. "I believe, most of all, in a Christ that smiles and loves you and me. "I therefore .know the cemeteries of today are wrong, because they dpict an end, not a beginning. They have consequently become unsightly only brass plates to mark graves, (per" window, a n exact re-creation in There are many family memorial*, J stained glass of Leonardo da Vinci; painting. It is thirty feel by twenty, and lit only by God's light. It w-., a sight never to bo forgotten, as th; : Master's face could still be seen shin- j ing softly in the darkness, after all j other detail was gone. The- whole story of this breath-taking wonder is too long to be told now. I wish to conclude this article with some remarks written by Bruce Barton: "The cemeteries of the world cry out men's utter hopelessness in however, but of beautiful white sculp- ' ture and never duplicated. One pri- vate memorial is the Temple of Santa S:il)ii>a with its original altur, which iiiyht from one of the oldest churches in Rome. The Masonic Memorial w;is purchased by contri- butions from thousands of Masons. It comprises a series of steps sur- mounted !>y an altar, bearing the Masonic emblem, and upon which rests a largo marble Bible open to the Divine command, "Let there be light!" Forest Lawn is the only place in the world where Michelangelo's greatest sculptural works are ed in one place. In the "Court of David" is an exact reproduction of David, the shepherd lad. This colossal figure weighs ten tons and towehs twenty and a half feet above the ground. There is the "Mystery of Life Garden" of world acclaim. Figures are grouped about a mystic stream looking at a boy, who is as- tonished at the miracle that has just happened in his hand one moment, an unbroken egg; the nxt moment, a chick teeming with lifq. On the summit of Mount Forest Lawn \? the 'Tower of Legends," a beacon- of Love and Hope, visible for miles around. The sculptural figures were executed by a famous Norwegian sculptor. Froelich. In Forest Lawn stand three roman- tic and historic old-world churches. The Little Church of the Flowers is an ivy-covered replica of the Stoke- Po^es Church in England, made fam- ous by Thomas Gray's "Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard." It derives its names from the masses of flowers which grow year round in cloistered recesses on either side of the nave. Among the flowers can- aries trill as the organ peals. The Church of the Recessional was built the face of death, alone, is different. Forest Lawn, Visitors come from everywhere; I wish that they might go home to remodel their cem- etries after Forest Lawn. The foll- owers of a triumphant Master should sleep in grounds more lovely than those where they have lived > a park so beautiful that it seems a bit above the level of this world, a first step toward Heaven." stoneyards, full of inartistic symbols ja-s a^. sacred memorial to the message and depressing customs; places that do nothing for humanity save a prac- tical act, and that not well. "I therefore prayerfully resolve to build Forest Lawn as different, as unlike other cemeteries as sunshine is unlike darkness, as Eternal Life is unlike Death ... a place where the sorrowing will be strengthened, be- cause is will be God's (iarden. "This is the Builder's Dream." Today, Forest Lawn's three hund- red acres of landscaped grounds are eloquent witnesses that the Builder kept faith with his soul. It is filled with towering trees, sweeping lawns, splashing fountains, singing birds. beautiful statuary, cheerful flowers, noble memorial architecture with in- intcriors full of light and color, and redolent of the world's best history and romances. The gates to these sacred grounds are larger than those at Buckingham Palace, previously regarded as th largest wrought-iron gates in the world. Despite their enormous weight they may be opened by slight pres- sure of the finger tips. Inside is the fountain and duck pool, where white ducks and swans swim gaily. At the edge are lovable statuary figures of little children. Nearby is the mort- uary, administration building and flower shop, all of old English style of architecture, set among trees; for every phase of undertaking is arrang- ed and conducted within the grouuds. There are no tombstones now, but of Rudyard Kipling's famous poem. It is a reproduction of St. Margaret's in Rottingdean, England. "The Wee Kirk O' the Heather," is a recon- struction of Annie Laurie's church at Olencairn, Dumfriesshire, Scotland. These arc regularly dedicated chureii- s. non-soctarian. Their only theology is Love and only words of love may be spoken from their pulpits. Their congregations are all who dwell in the world. Here, more than twenty- five thousand persons have been mar- ried, and little children have been christened, and here, too, when life's span is done, the sacred service is h Id. Inspired by the world-famous Campo Santo in Genoa, Italy, the Forest Lawn Mausoleum is built to stand forever. It is built in nine massive terraces, resistant to fire and earthquake and contains enough steel and concrete to erect a sixty-story building. Its foundations extend to a depth of 33 feet into solid rock, broadening into huge bell-shaped anchors. Besides burial crypts, it contains beautiful urns of finely cast bronze for cremated remains. The crowning achievement of this groat mausoleum is the famed Memorial Court of Honor. Beneath the rare marble of its floors are crypts which money cannot purchase, reserved ns gifts of honored interment for great Americans. The whole corridor is dominated by the marvellous, im- mortal masterpiece "The Last Sup- BUCKINGHAM Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Davidson visited in Barrie one day last week. Mrs. A.
