II to 50 cents per $1,000 of gross re-
ceipts. The automobile tag would
be based on a charge of Is cents

INDIANA CHURCH MAGAZINE HONORS
IRWIN NATIVE ON HIS GOTH BIRTHDAY

forty-one years had been a mis-
Sionary to Japan, representing
the Christian Church. Following
this service, there was a special
dinner in DR.. WoodWorth's honor.
On one of the two immense birth
day cakes given him was a man
riding a bicycle, symbolic of this
missionary who at 80 rides his
bicycle to the store. This past
summer he kept over an acre of
lawn moved, and at $50 in the
morning would deposit vegetables
from his garden on his neighbor's
doorsteps.
AS the fifteenth child of Asafel
and Hilah Woodwork, the Doctor
takes a great deal of satisfaction
in the fact that his parents did
not believe in small families.
Food was no problem for a fami-
ly living on a 500-acre farm near
Irwin, Ohio in the year of 1857.
Another boy would more than
earn his way by pitching hay and
shucking corn.
At eighteen, tn e Doctor was
teaching school for thirty dollars
a month, earning money to attend
Oberlin College. Five times be-
fore he graduated from this insti-
tuition, he interrupted his studies
to teach awhile and to earn mon
ey to go on. With a debt of $500
he graduated in 1883, and accept
ed q position as Latin teacher in
Merom at Union Christian Col
lege. Soon all his debts were
paid.
Young people who attend sum-
mer conferences at Merom will
remember tn e library room in
College Hall. In this room one
night years ago at prayer meet
ing, the Doctor, for the first time,
saw Miss Ida Penrod. That very
evening they strolled together
down the narrow college board
walk, for there was no cement
pavement then.
Now for more than sixty years
they have journeyed m any
thousands of miles together-the
Doctors life of rich service made
possible by the wife who unob-
trusively and quietly helped him
on.
They are spending their sunset
days in Merom, helping the Mer-
ON and Robinson Churches, writ
ing to a daughter and grand
children in Australia, and in gen
eral leading happy, useful lives.
