"Dr. Arnold was no ordinary man."
DIR. McCue said. ''Ie could not have
lived in any community and not at
the same time have attracted the
of those about him. Nature had
marked him with those characteris-
tics which are found prominently
IN "a soldier or a hero, n capacity
for work, an indomitabie will power
and courage which seemed almost
superhuman when we consider the
many obstacles which beset his path.
Some at first might judge him to
be ambitious, or again they might
question the sincerity of his motives.
But when we look back over that
whole life,' especially from that day
when as an innocent child of eleven
he sailed away from the fatherland
up to that day when he yielded his
generous soul unto its Maker, view
ing all that life. not by piecemeaL
but in one grand whole. the thought
must rush in upon us that DIR. Arnold
was certainly a man of sacrifice.
Ills Oldest acquaintance cannot re-
call time when he gave himself a
period of respite. What men count
hs the pleasures of life We're seldom
his, at least in any high degree. And
ne labored and denied himself thus
INCREASINGLY. not for himself, but for
others In his little family he recog-
nized a God-given treasure, an epit-
ONE, as it were, of his whole ltfe's
ideal. In them he found his inspira-
ton and there he directed his chief
ambition"
