“He probably .raised more money for the Salvation Army charitable causes than any other Salvationist m Australia,” said Colonel E. C. Slattery, chief secretary to the Army, m a statement to a Melbourne newspaper recently in reference to Colonel Arthur Smith Arnott, who died at Melbourne early this month. Colonel Arnott married Miss Lucy Tucker, daughter of the late Mr Joshua Tucker, of Ashburton. “Although a man of means,” continued Colonel Slattery, “he denied himself almost to an extreme to help the poor and needy.” Colonel Arnott was a relative of the members of the firm of W. Arnott, biscuit manufacturers, of Sydney.. It is not generally known that a biscuit was named Sao after he had become a Salvation Army officer. The letters S.A.O. stand for Salvation Army Officer. • x
