Way, of The Founder And First President (Continued from E^age Seven) was small of stature, never robust,jor rugged, always frail. His eyes were weak,-often giving him trouble and causing him anxiety. His hearing be came Tmpaire4^-and in hi^ later life he was very deaf. He was so deaf he could pot hear, so blind he could nqt see, ao feeble he had to be supported as he walked. This was the last few years of his life. Notwithstanding all he was not only president, but the directing head of the orphanage. While it was necessary for him^ver to exercise care concerning his health he possessed marvelous energy and did an enormous amount of work, as must be seen from the fact that he was pastor of a large church, presi dent of a great orphanage and gave time and thought to the college. Re did the work in all of them better than many men would have done in one. He was thoroughly, systematic. He was careful of his time. Many peo ple Waste enough time in which a worth-while' life work might be done. After the* larger development of the orphanage he gave his mornings to that work, but no matron or teacher could expect to see him at other timei about the work. , In his work of promoting the or phanage he used, from the human side, the psychology of suggestion. He would drop a hint He would relate a story. He would tell how some other need had been met. He would suggest a need. He would call upon God in yer and await the answer.

W-EA R f 1 C jV G E I< r / - ■ P rJ believed that God deals directly .with men. As Abraham, Joseph knd Paul lived their lives in the light of that fayt, so did William P. Jacobs. Grow ing opt his convictions and afte^ seek ing God’s way in prayer, he was firm in his determinations. There is mo need to mention the great fact of his life, that he was interested in‘and loved children. He said if ever a-monument should be erected to Iris memory he wanted but two words on it, “The Child.” He was a pioneer. He. thought in advance of his years. He lived ahead of his times. - _ . . Ones of the items in the Progressive Program of the church in the recent years has been: “A chun^i paper in every home.” Dr. Jacobs- tried tp ac complish that fifty years ago and he recorded the number? of families who were taking the church paper. In recent years the General Assem bly established the Mission Training School. Dr. Jacobs conducted mission training classes as far bark as the nineties. Today several who studied in those classes are giving the gospel message in foreign lands. The whole church measurably ap preciates the value of childhood and feels its responsibility for the needy fatherless children. Almost every Synod has its orphanage. It took Dr. Jacobs to jsad the way, quicken the conscience of the church jn this mat-- ter and set a standard not hitherto dreamed of. His training was received under men who believed and taught that it was not the function of the church to qngage in the work of education. That view was held by Dy. Thornwell and ethers.- Yet, Dr. Jacobs swung away from that conceptian and was instru mental in foufiding a great cljprch college. *r-T ' — The outstanding characteristic of the man was ,his belief in prayer. Thornwell Orphanage in its ^reat. his tory and present splendriLirroportions, is a monument *0 Dr. Jacobs* belief in and practice of prayer. Its record is of answered prayer. Muller‘told no one but God. Dr. Jacobs wrote ’ of and told his needs to men, but that did not lessen his earnestness in telling God. He looked to Him to move the hearts of men. One illustration must suffice. ..On Monday the impression came to a merchant one hundred apd fifty miles from Clinton: “I should give ten per cent of next Saturday’s sales to Thornwell Orphanage.” It was brushed aside. On Tuesday the same impression came again. There was a thought of sending some old, but‘useful stock from the store. On Wednesday the impression came with" stronger force than ever. The man said to himself: “I will do it.” It was not mentioned to any of his as sociates. Saturday gave the biggest trade ever had. Three hundred and ten dollars were sent to Dr. Jacobs, On acknowledging receipt of this amount^ he said he had been praying for three hundred dollars for a spec ial object.
