SCOTT AND ABB0TSFORD
(By Rev. Howard Scott)

BY Rev. howard Seoul
A peasant boy trudging along
with his tools was invited by kind
ly faced man to ride with him. The
man was Sir Walter Scott, the boy
was George Kemp. Mr.. Kemp nev-
er saw his friend again. But years
after he was invited to build the
noble monument, which today
stands in Princes street, Edin-
burgh, to the great poet. In this
same Edinburgh was born in 1771,
the historical romancer whose writ
ings were to preserve to all time
the legendary lore of Scotland
AS a child he suffered much from
rheumatism in his limbs and feet.
His boyhood was spent at the farm
at Sandy Knowe, where clad in
sheepskin, he was placed every day
in the sun to cure his trouble. 1t
was useless, he never recovered en-
tirely, and to his death in 1882 he
walked with a cane. His happiest
years were spent at Abbotsford,
where by his own efforts he erected
lordly castle, and where the bulk
of his literary work was done. He
loved the Tweed river, and at the
ford where the Abbots of Melrose
crossed, he found name for his
beautiful home. He loved also the
Abbey, and being his own architect
he copied the exquisite beauty OF
the ruined Melrose in the construc-
ton of Abbotsford. Melrose has
been called the finest monastic ruins
in the world. 1t was this lovely
dream of Gothic architecture tha,
inspired the novelist in the creation
of Abbotsford. His versatility /:

u VIEW YORK, June 20.-The fight
n world today acclaimed Max
Schmeling, the man who
a walked alone, for achieving
the supposedly impossible-the knock
out of Joe Louis.
The beetle-browed German who
wasn't given a ChinamanS chance
not only knocked the hitherto invin-
chile 22-year-old Negro from the top
rungs of the fstic ladder but he did
It in the most convincing manner pos
sible-he stopped Louis cold.
Until he met the German schlager
in the drama packed Yankee Stadium
last night. the Negro boy simply was
unbeatable. He was hailed as the
greatest heavyweight prospect in his
tory. He was the hardest hitter since
Dempsey and no man could endure
against him.
Schmeling gave the laugh to all
that. And today his feat, comparable
only to the Cinderella story of Jimmy
Braddock, puts Max on the threshold
of another championship bout and the
opportunity to become the first man
IN ring history to regain the heavy
weight crown.
