John Winston whitworth.

John Winston Whitworth was
born in Madison county, Mo-,
August 10, t847, and died at his
home in Arcadia, Mo-, February
t6, 1911.
Genial, honest and large hearted,
a kind father and good neighbor,
will be the verdict of all who
knew him long and intimately. A
heart that always responded to a
plea of distress, and a heart that
never rested in the Joy of aiding;
plain and unassuming in his
manner, sincere in his speech, too
manly to be and too brave to play
the hypocrite, he passed his hour
upon the stage and we shall know
him on earth no more. Among
those who knew him we'll his
memory will be ever green. His
frailties will be forgotten but his
kindly clasp of the hand, his
cheerful greeting and honest
deeds will be cherished and exert
their influences long after his
mortal remains have crumbled in
to dust.
The writer knew him intimately
for more than forty years, and
during all that time there was
never a whisper of a dishonest,
deceitful or dishonorable action.
With nothing of the Pharisee to
mar his honest life he has gone to
face the Judge of the quick and
the dead. When the final sum-
mons comes, if we can all show as
few frailties and as many virtues,
we need not dread the decree of
the ALL Wise and -Merciful.
Who has the temerity to pronounce
a life like this a failure? He lived
SO years without injury to his
brother or neighbor. Does this
speak of failure? 1t is undisputed
evidence of success. His life in
spires me to initiate his virtues, and
the memory of his words of cheer
and kindly deeds will never die.
ONE WHO KNEW HIM.

Epworth Among the Hills.

The above caption is the name
of the Encampment and camp
meeting grounds of the st. Louis
Conference. Epworth Among the
Hills lies just east of the Arcadia
station, SO miles south of st. Louis,
on the st. Louis Iron Mountain &
Southern Railroad, and is one of
the many very pretty places in the
Arcadia Valley.
There are PAT acres in the tract
so named, ten acres of which have
been set apart, and decided in fee
simple, to trustees of the Confer
ence for the tabernacle and such
other buildings as may be demeed
necessary for the convenience and
accommodation of such meetings
as may be held here. About $50 of
the other 230-odd acres has been
laid off in lots and is for sale in
such quantities as may be desired
by purchasers. The proceeds from
the sale of these lots are to be used
by the trustees for the payment of
the purchase price of the grounds
and for the improvement. Many
lots have been sold and the pro-
ceeds so applied Several persons
are now preparing to improve their
lots by the building of bungalows
or summer residences thereon.
We hope the coming summer will
see much of the tract "a city of
tents and bungalows"
From the elevations on which
Epworth Among the Hills is To-
Gated may be seen Pilot Knob, to
the north; Shepherd. Mountain to
the northwest; Saddle. Back Noun
tain to the west; Lewis Mountain
to the southwest; and Sunrise
Mountain on the east; and these
mountains surround the far famed
Arcadia Valley, and from Epworth
Among the Hills present a most
enchanting and inspiring prospect.
Several meetings are scheduled
here for the summer and doubtless
others will be added to the list be-
fore the program is printed. 1t is
expected that all parts of the st.
Louis, and perhaps other Confer
ences will be present at the camp
meeting to be held here in July.
About 1000 persons attended the
Encampment and camp-meeting
last year and we expect more than
double that number this year. The
six presiding elders of the St.
Louis Conference and the pastor
in charge at Arcadia, are a COM
mittee on Programme and a Board
of Control of the services to be
held at Epworth Among the Hills.
(See Conference Minutes, 1910,
page 49,
The programme for the coming
summer Encampment and camp
meeting is being prepared and will
be ready for distribution in a few
days. Copies of it may be had on
application to any one of the pre-
siding elders or to A. S. Cocker,
Arcadia, Mo. 1t is intended thai
this programme shall contain full
information as to the services to be
held, the approximate cost of at.
tendance, the railroad rates, anG
such other matters as are usually
given in such announcements.

John w. Whitworth died at his
home in Arcadia, last Thursday
morning. at fifteen minutes after
four o'clock. AS is we'll known to
the readers of the REGISTER, Mr..
Whitworth was an invalid for
many months and during much of
the time a great sufferer. He was
born in Spring Valley, Madison
county, Mo-, in August, 1847,
hence was in his 64th year. The
greater portion of his life was
spent in the Arcadia Valley where
he was we'll and favorably known,
and it goes as a common saying
that he was a good man to the
poor, and will be remembered and
blessed by many of them. Mr.
Whitworth protested religion at
Arcadia high school in September,
1866, in a meeting held by Revs. j.
G. Bergman, w. S. Woodward
and H. S. Trough and Ready
Watts. There we're over one hun
dred professions at this meeting,
most of them from the student
body of the school which num-
bered that year over two hundred.
He did not join the church nor
take up religious work and lost the
joy of the love of Christ. He said
he was his own worst enemy.
Some two months before his death,
however, he renewed his covenant
with his God and expressed him
self as prepared and willing to die.
His funeral services were attended
by a large congregation of rela-
tives and friends at Fort Hill
church, and the remains were laid
to rest in the Masonic cemetery,
Fridsy February 18th, 1911, two
of his brothers and four of his
nephews acting as pail bearers.
He leaves q wife, one son and two
daughters and a large number of
relatives and friends to mourn his
death. Lies ftful fever over, he
rests in peace.
Mrs. Flora Moser, Of st. Louis,
attended the funeral of Mr.. John
Whitworth last Friday. Mrs.
Moser is a sister of Mrs. Whit
worth, and for many years has
been Secretary of the st. Louis
Home Mission Society Of the M. E..
Church, South,
Mr.. Shores has SO far recovered
from his attack of appendicitis, for
which he al successfully oper-
ated on some time ago, as to take
his regular shift as agent at the
Arcadia depot. OF course, we are
all glad, and SO is he. K.
