The Builder's Creed

On New Year's Day, 1917, Hubert Eaton stood on a hilltop overlooking the small country cemetery of some fifty-five acres which had just been placed in his charge. He saw no buildings—only a patch of lawn with a few straggling headstones. Beyond the scant dozen acres of developed ground, the hillsides rose, sere and brown.

In that moment, a vision came to the man of what this tiny "God's Acre" might become; and standing there he made a prayerful resolution. When he reached home he put his resolution into words and called it "The Builder's Creed."

Today, Forest Lawn stands as an eloquent witness that the Builder kept faith with his soul.
