TRIBUTE BY A SON
TO THE MEMORY OF
JOHN W. CONWAY.

1903, at seven forty-five O'Clock
at my old home, Father fell asleep
in Jesus.
Death is a MYSTERIOUS and au.
gust visitant. He can not come
but by the divine will. 1t seems
that death is only an usher into
the presence of the King. The
room Of dying child of God is
the very anti-ohambsr Of Heaven.

when Father went to be with Je-
sus that Thursday night.
81 can not say, and 1 will not say
That he is dead-he is just away"
And yet, while the gospel sheds
a halo Of sweetness Ger the soul,
and brings heavens love to our
hearts, and faith in the future i'm.
mortality of light and life to us,
the human affections of our hearts
fingers and weeps for its great
loss.
No more on earth to zee his face
or hear his kindly voice or well

floor, or grasp that hand-no more
no more! We feel, we can but
feel,
Zone touch Of the vanished hand,
One note Of the voice that is stiIl"
would be Joy to homs-whIch
shall never como again.
o, how true he was to us all!
His life was one of a noble, self
sacrificing love. He thought and
labored for our good. There is no
home more empty than ours with
out him. We feel as Longfellow
sweetly sings,
Dying, he leaves .msmory like
the death,
Of summers, full of sunshine and
showers,
A grief and gladness in the atmos-
phere."
He was a man that..was.either at
church, or attending to business,
or at home.

and as a son, l looked upon him
as one of the noblest of men.
A man with tender and fine feel

victions; courageous always I o T
what he thought was truth. Meyer
did l hear an impure word fall
from his lips. He was a man, at
least to me, of pure mind. Not
that he was faultless, for no one
was more conscious of his need of
divine help. No, it was the work
of Christ in his life which shown
out. Truly can l say of him,
Rich in saving common sense
And, as the greatest only are,
In his simplicity sublime.
These qualities made his lite on
earth 30 dear to his children, and
We weep because our noble father
has left US to struggle without
him. His great gain is our earth

best, and his will be done. He

Jesus Christ, and be could say in

THAT sweet comfort was mine,
When the power divine

Lamb.

Oh what Joy l received
What a heaven in Jesus, sweet

On the road of life and busi-
ness, ss he pressed his horse on
with energy and life, you could
hear him cheerfully humming the
sweet songs of Zion Perhaps
there is not soul in all his neigh |

Joe and Hal. All are christians
but Hal, and he is young. YET
the Lord will no doubt call him
by his grace.
Pappa is gone,
"Death hides but he can not di-
vide;
They are but on Christs other
side,
They are, with Christ and Christ
with me,
In Christ united still are we"
THE living are the only dead,
The dead live-never more TO die
And often when we mourn them
fled
They never were so nigh"
Papa loved the farm. Well
do l remember reading him James
Whitcomb Riley's famous poem on
the Clover, and when | came to
this beautiful verse he wept;
And so | love clover-it seems
like part
lOf the sacredest sorrows and joys
of my heart;
And wherever it blooms, oh there
let me bow
And thank the good God as I'm
thanking him now,
And 1 pray to him still for strength
when | die
To go out in the clover and tell it
goodbye,
And lovingly nestle my face in its
bloom,
While my soul fits away on a
breath of perfume.
He loved his stock-oattle, hogs
and horses. How lonesome Bet
tie, his horse, looks; the pigeons
he fed each morning and that
lighted on his shoulders. oh! how
lonesome; his favorite dog seems
to have given up as he lies and
waits for his master. rhe fields,
the barns, the garden and flower
beds all seem to miss him. The
place seems strangely changed,
but memories as fresh and sweet
az the dews of heaven linger with
all these things.of him,
II cannot think Of him as dead
Who walks amid these scenes no
moIe,
Along the path Of life | tread
He has but gone before.
God hath given to love to keep
It's own eternally,
Then let Love clasp Grief lest
both besdrowned."
HIS life on earth is over. We
miss him and our hearts are torn
and bleeding; but the will of. God
be done. He dceth all things we'll.
Now we see as through glass,
darkly; but we shall know. Never
has there crossed my mind doubt
of his eternal welfare, but feel
and know that he is-
"Safe in the arms OF Jesus,
Safe on his gentle breast.
There by his love DER shadowsd
Sweetly his soul shall re ct.
Hark! tits the voice of Angels
Borne on a song to me,
Over the fields of glory,
Over the jasper sea"
He fell with his armor on, in
the midst of the battle. He fought
a good fight; there was no long
evening to his life.
He has passed over the river and
rests under the shade of the trees.
And I'VE shall meet. Jour. loved and

The Lord blessed Father with
noble ancestors. He was of Welsh
descent. In the language of one
who knew we te the following
of his noble ancestors:
For generations back our an
cestors have been good and noble
people. l have heard grandfather
John Conway say that his ancest-
ors fought under Oliver Cromwell.
Grandfather had five brothers, l
think, who fought through the re-.
volutionary war. | heard him say
he was the youngest son, and was
eleven when the battle of York
town was fought, and saw Corn
wallis army as Washington and
Lafayette marched them through
his fathers plantation.
They lived in Fauquier county,
Virginia. Grandfather was good
man; used to preach sometimes,
was a great Bible student, could
repeat chapter after chapter by
memory. Tho beauty of it was,
he conformed his life to it's holy
teachings. = Nearly 1l0I
years ago he with his wife, newly
married, and an old family servant
and her child crossed the Alleghs-
ny mountains on horseback and
came to the wilds of Kentucky .
= finally settling in Trimble
county, Kentucky, in the hills
three miles South of Madison, In
diana. Madison was not thought
of then. There on a small, rather
unproductive farm he raised a
large family, five sons and two
daughters, named William, Polly,
John, Peter, Thomas, James, Ma
ry. In 1912 he buried his wife
and two small children in the
same grave. He was left in
bowling wilderness with seven
small children, the oldest l6. No
stores, no factories, no steamboats,
then.
1t was in 1912 my mother saw
the first steamboat that came down
tho Ohio river "a sorry affair.".
Grandfather had to raise fax, spin
and weave the fax for clothing.
Deer we're abundant and he used
their skins for pants and shoes,
and raccoon skins for hats"
One of the these seven children
came to Union county, KY, and
settled near Morganfeld, Thomas
Conway, the father of John w.
Conway, the subject of this tri-
butte. His mother was Cornelia
Connell. My father was born of
this happy union Oct. IA, 1914.
He was the only son of large fa-
mily. Grandfather was we'll known
by the former citizens of Union
county, and they showed to him
their high regard in many ways.
He was elected sheriff of the coun
ty several times and represented |
the people for three terms in the
State Legislature.
He was firm Baptist and a |
man of noble mould.

There is more cotton unsold in
Rcbeson county now perhaps than
there has ever been, but this does ii ut
necessarily indicate that the crop is
larger this year than heretofore. In
fact, from the best information we
have been able to get hold of, the en-
tire crop will be less this year than
was expected. 1t means that our
people are in better condition than
they have ever been before and are
enabled to hold their cotton until they
can secure a satisfactory price for it.

1t cannot be denied that there is
much TO establish in support of this
view of the situation. There is moth
ing for keeping man at home OF
evenings like knowing he has to
render an account of himself il he
is absent, and the fear of his wife
is the beginning of virtue with more
husbands than we wot of. It's an
old proverb that when the wife's away
the husband will play. and without
doubt the man who is insistently and
consistently chaperoned by his wife
is model of discretion. Besides this
unsentimental as it is, after the first
romantic affection has burned itself
out. domestic love is mainly a good
habit and so long as nothing occurs to

The Bishops talk has been already
reported in conference proceedings. 1t
was unique and devoid of oratory or
affectation-in fact what it purported
to be, a good natured lecture to the
young preachers starting out in life.
The conference is a good thing to see
and to feel. 1t is earnest, full of
work, yet in a way a holiday. The
preachers are a fine body of plain men
trying to do good. They are approach
able and joVial amid the uncertainties
and anXieties that hang about the
personal issues of the conference.
Each man is getting good from the
meetings. The touch of elbows is re-
