He had suffered from arthritis
since 1914 and his condition had
grown steadily worse in recent
months. He was admitted last
Sunday to Good Samaritan Hos
|pital. where he died.
Mr.. Douglas greatest books
were "The Magnificent Obses-
Ision," his first. published in 1929,
and "The Robe" printed in 1912
In the period between them were
numerous best sellers, including
"Green Light" white Banners
and Disputed Passage" which
were filmed.
Turned Down Movies.
His last work was "The Big
Fisherman" a sequel to 1.-THE
Robe" Mr.. Douglas refused to
allow a movie to be made of "The
Big Fisherman" apparently be-
cause of the treatment "The
Robe" received in Hollywood.
Handling of the book for the
films was debated for years.
Finally, after $750,000 was poured
into the enterprise, the picture
was dropped.
Mr.. Douglas books caused much
discussion because of their per-
sonal approach to religion. He
once told reporter that 1.-THE
Magnificent Obsession" started
out as an essay on personal ex-
preston through private philan-
thropy."
"I got half through and 1t oc-
Cured to me that the good pur-
pose I wanted to describe would
reach more people in story form" /"
he said.
Mr.. Douglas, an ordained Luz
theran Minister, was in his sos
when "The Magnificent Obses-
sion" became an immediate sue
cess. 1t went through 81 printings
and sold 100000 copies in little
more than year.
Serious and Modest.
Six feet tall and weighing 200
pounds when in good health, Mr..
Douglas remained serious and
modest through his years of de-
layed success. IT came into this
business too late to take on any
airs about it," he said.

bia City. Ind, August 27, 1877,
the son Of minister, Alexander
Jackson Douglas. His mother, the
former Miss Sarah Jane Cassel,

Journal" in 1889, and Invitation
to Live" in 1910.
A letter from Mrs. Hazel Nc
Cam of Canton, Ohio, inspired
THE Robe" Mr.. Douglas said
She asked if he knew the story
about the robe for which Roman
soldiers gambled at Christ's cross,
and what became of it. Mr.. Doug
las had thought about the robe
many times, and he replied: II do
not know story about this robe
but there should be one-even if
I have to write a book about it
myself"
Book Took Two Years.
1t took him two years to write
THE Robe" It was an immediate
best-seller and held that rating
for more than 10 months. BY mid
1914 sales neared a total of is

| He left the ministry in 1888,
four years after THE Magnificent

had TO quit the pulpit in order
to attend to it.
In 1912, he returned to Wash

lures after he was big name in
the writing field.
At that time, he related that

to make it novel.
His work schedule was regular,
writing from $3.50 am. to 2::3O

Freedom, by virtue of the American Declaration of Independence is very real and wonderful thing, created and sustained by the faith and wisdom and loyalty of the first free Americans the first truly free people in all the history of the world.
 John Adams of the five who drew up this document, predicted that the spiritual faith in America would ultimately and eternally be the guid- ing faith of all Americans from end of this con- tnent to the other and from this time forward for evermore"
 Little did he dream it would include far-away Alaska The Declaration of Independence brought that way of life out of world of dreams and gave it reality
