The supporting synods have placed Thornwell on their budgets and it is about sixty gallons a day. Eggs and Chickens both are marketed when th^re are surpluses. All milk produc ed is used by the orphanage. Despite the fact that the proposed celebration of the one hundredth an niversary of the birth of the founder of this institution, the late Dr. Wil liam Plumer Jacobs, had to be can celled because of war developments, interest in the institution has been maintained at its usual high peak through the year. The joint meeting of the Synods of South Carolina and Florida, scheduled to be held here this fall, also was cancelled on ac count of gas and rubber conditions; however, when the Synod of South Carolina met in Clinton Thornwell entertained a pumber of the minis ters and elders and all who attended were given an opportunity to visit the institution. Thornwell at this time extends its usual invitation to those persons in the local churches who are interested in the work here to visit the institu tion. The entire institution and all its workers regret the resignation' of Dr. L. Ross Lynn as president. Doctor Lynn will continue in service here until July, 1943, at which time he hopes to have rounded out twenty- five years of service at Thornwell. In observance of his long and faith ful service local churches already are planning to show their love for this institution and their deep appreci ation for Dr. Lynn, with an unusual offering in November. Thornwell may well expect its richest blessings yet to come.
