On New Year's Day, 1917, a man 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.
