He lived on a farm near Celina, Tenn., for about sixty-seven years. His life and teaching were so consistent that he was loved and respected by all the people of the community. In the year 1881, under the preaching of Brother Owensby, at old Rock Springs church of Christ John Arms obeyed the gospel. He soon began to take a leading part in public worship and was active as a preacher, elder and worker in the kingdom for seventy years. It was also in the year 1881, April 14, that John Arms and Mary Catherine Waddell were married. They lived together for sixty-three years and shared the responsibilities of rearing a family of seven children. Sister Arms died April 26, 1944. Brother Arms was a well educated man for his day. He taught school for a number of years and was always a diligent student of the Bible. He had a well selected library and was familiar with the writings of those engaged in the restoration movement, as well as with the writings of the leading brethren of a later period. He subscribed to and carefully read the Gospel Advocate for a period of sixty years. The preaching work of Brother Arms was confined to Clay and adjoining counties in Tennessee and near-by southern Kentucky. Much of his preaching was done where the gospel had not been preached. As a result of one year's work, four congregations were started and other weak ones strengthened. Many souls were brought into the kingdom as a result of his godly life and teaching. He received very little support for the work he did. He made his living and gave as much time as he could to needy places. He preached regularly until he was ninety years of age. His last words before death claimed him were: "Let us do his will." These words were typical of his life. The writer preached in five meetings over a period of years, at Beech Bethany, where Brother Arms worshiped. My knowledge of the Bible was increased and my life enriched by spending hours with this godly man. A large number of brethren and friends were present at the funeral services, conducted at the Beech Bethany Church, October 15, 1951, by the writer. Truly a great man has gone to his reward. --- A. R. Hill. - Gospel Advocate April 3, 1952, page 220.
