In community he was a great asset with his unfailing happy mein and wealth of anecdote. He became famous as a 'pill maker' using the juice of American aloe, which was much sought after among the natives and the Sunday River valley farmers. Bro. Arnold spent nearly all his religious life at Dunbrody. He was a convert and his early school life spent at Grahamstown. He was apprenticed to a tailor at GT but did not like the confined life, and joined the Cape Mounted Police. His first work at Dunbrody was rearing ostriches for a while and then took up the work of prefect coloured boys at the school, for which he was eminently suited. He had a knowledge of Xhosa and could speak Taal. But these accomplishments were nothing to the holy example he gave to his charges. Himself a perfect religious, he edified all by his deep devotion and religious spirit.
