Changes

F.T. Horton was an open brethren train dispatcher for Sante Fe railway that lived in Arkansas City, [[Kansas]] with an assembly generally meeting in his home, known occasionally as [[Arkansas City Gospel Hall, KS|Arkansas City Gospel Hall]]. He built on a bluff two miles north of Arkansas City the text "Christ died for the ungodly." It was 476 feet long, 18 feet high and can be read from two miles away. Towards the end of his life, the Railway auxiliary permanently set the stone in concrete at an expense of $250. It is popularly known as ''Scripture Hill''. He also placed the words "Eternity Where" on a nearby hill.

Several church groups and civic organizations (including the Boy Scouts) have maintained the lettering over the years. Awhile back, some folks installed three crosses near the stonework that they have lit by kerosene certain times of the year. Passenger trains no longer travel in the area, although freight trains still use the tracks, which have been moved some. Motorists can see the lettering when traveling on the nearby US Hwy bypass, especially during the Autumn months. It was recalled by a local resident, Steve Jelf, that it was rebuilt thrice due to vandalism, the first two times it was located on the bluff along the east side of the Walnut River, facing town, and the third and present location is considerably closer to the tracks.
