THE LATE CHAPLAIN SCOTT
 HE|GHBORS' TESTIMONY
The Memorial Services at SoottsdaIe
 Last Sunday.

memorial service for Chaplain Scott on Sunday, October 23, which was largely attended. The sermon was preached l by Rev. W. Mcleod George. He said:
 One day MT. Moody was preaching on immortality and he said, Some day you will pick up your papers and read in the headlines, Moody Is Dead want to say to you now that Moody will never be so much alive as when they are saying over all the world Moody is dead" And so have been thinking this Sabbath morning that Chaplain Scott was never so much alive as when all his friends are saying | Chaplain Scott is dead" He was a man particularly fitted to enjoy the other world. I do, not know why he seemed so much so, unless it was that he so greatly enjoyed this present world. He greeted every new day with gladness. How much this world needs the kind of cheerfulness he had. How many homes would be the better for It. How much heartache 1t would cure The gospel of Christ is the gospel of good cheer. And Christ came to bring to this sin cursed world Gods gift of gladness. Chaplain Scott preached that gospel. and loved 1t, ,-and lived 1t. I asked MT. Wilbur to read Johns description of the Heavenly City be- cause the Chaplain will be seeing this morning what those last chapters of the Bible describe. John says. the city was fifteen miles long, and fifteen miles broad, and fifteen miles high. Why is heaven built so high? That is | <.1x aclr ahn Man York Why do they build it so high? It is because so many people want to live at the center. And that Is why heaven is so high. So many people want to live near the throne of God, and in the presence of Christ
 There is wonderful river in heaven. John says. I saw "a pure river of the water of life" Many people will want to live on this river. There is always charm in a home that overlooks the water, and one could be so quiet there But Chaplain Scott will not want to live in the center of the city. He will say, This part of heaven Is finished. And never liked to live where things are finished. In the other world left the finished cities and went out on the desert. And the last year of my life when lived in a big city. I went as far out as could get. like to see things in the beginning" And he will not want to live on the river. He will say, This is too quiet for me. want to be where things are on the go. Show me the side of heaven that Is growing. I want to get out where can see the people coming from the north. and south, and east, and west, to sit down with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of God"
 And what good memory he has left in the world. Did he have faults? I am not trying to think of them. They seem somehow to have disappeared. I can not bring forward any. Why Is this? I have had the same trouble be- fore. Is it not because with truly good people the faults are superficial? So much so that before we have laid them to rest we have forgotten what their faults were Only the virtues live. Some one may object that I am pro- nouncing euIogy, but feel eulogy. It was grand thing to live such life as that Chaplain Scott took the high road of life and came into heaven over the hills. We can say like Paul. "All. the saints salute you"
