The Savannah morning news., 1901-10-06

Whitefield had manifested great inter-
est. The draft of the proposed charter
was presented by the Earl of Dart
mouth to the Archbishop of Canter-
bury, to whom the memorial had also
been referred. Both the archbishop and
the Lord President of the Privy Council
maintained as a qualification not to be
dispensed with that the head of the col
lege should be a member of the Church
of England and that the public pray
ers should not be extempore but the
liturgy of the church, or some other
settled and established FORM" As
might have been expected, Whitefield
declined to accede to such narrowing
conditions. The greater part OF the
contributions to the orphan house. said
he, came from the dissenters, and he
had constantly declared to all interest
ed that the intended college SHOULD be.
founded on a broad bottom or not at
ALL" He accordingly temporarily drop
ped the college project. "As 1t hath
pleased the Great Head of the Church
to renew my bodily strength" he wrote
to the archbishop, II propose now to
renew my feeble efforts, and turn the
charity into more generous, and con-
sequently into a more useful channel.
have no ambition to be looked upon
as the founder of a college, but I
would fain act the part of an honest
man." In discussing the endowment
of the proposed college Whitefield gave
the archbishop the following statement
of the orphanage: 1.-THE present annual
income of the orphan house is between
400 and 800 pounds sterling. The house
is surrounded with 1900 acres of land.

and religious enemies from the south,
with no visible means of support, almost
dependent on mama from heaven or
food brought by ravens. Yet what
,,,o,,,d have seemed to many tnsur-
,nountable barriers had melted away
before the persistent and intelligent
efforts of Whitefield and the co-labor-
ers on whom so much of the response
biitv fell. An English traveller in 1743
described the home as a square build
ing of very large dimensions, the
foundations of which are of brick,
with chimneys of the same; the rest
Of the superstructure Of wood. The
whole" said he, "is laid out in neat
and elegant manner. A kind of piazza
surrounds it, which is a very pleasing
retreat in summer. The hall and all
the apartments are very commodious
and prettily furnished. The garden is

unite such an institution with Bethes-
da. During the intervening years
Whitefield had not lost sight of the
project, although circumstances had
conspired to prevent it's contamination.
Now conditions seemed to favor it. AT
Bethesda on Feb. IL, 1765, WHITEHEAD
had as his guests, Gov. Wright, and
visiting nobleman who informed him
that the plan was beautiful, rational
and practicable, and that he was per-
suaded His Majesty would highly ap-
prove of it, and also favor 1t with some
peculiar marks of his royal bounty.
In the same letter in which he refers
to this Whitefield gave expression TO
his deep regard for the orphanage:
Now, farewell, my beloved Bethesda
said he. surely the most delightful
place in all the southern part of Amer
lea" On his departure for the last
time, as 1t proved, for England he left
"all arrears paid off. some cash in
hand, besides the last years whole
crop of rice, some lumber, the house
repaired, painted, furnished with
plenty of clothing and provisions till
the next crop comes in, and perhaps
some for SALE" Only a few boys were
now at the house, so that this year
they will be getting rather than ex-
pending"
Negotiations concerning the proposed
college were brought to an issue In the
winter of 1857. A memorial was pre-
pared, pointing out the many advan-
tages the southern provinces would de-
rive from such a center of learning.

granted upon the plan Of the College

ton to some men and the good to be
accomplished have overcome their
scruples. Whitefield never wavered.
A second absolute refusal was the an
swer.
Planning for n College.
The war between England and
France kept Whitefield away from Be-
thesda for eight years. Early in this
period the exigencies of the times
forced a lessening of the number of
its inmates. Whitefield approved of
reducing the number as low as posi-
BILE, and to take in no more than the
plantation would maintain. In 1853 its
affairs were in a less embarrassed state
and Whitefield had it in his power TO
pay off all of Bethesda's existing ar
rears. This year he sent over num-
Der of Bibles and other books, and re-
quested the superintendent to consign
him "a little rice and indigo that his
friends might see some of the orphan
house produce" Silk culture was also
in successful operation. The only dis
couraging feature was the inability to
secure places for the boys when fit to
go out, keeping them in the house be-
yond the anticipated period. In June,
1858. WHITEHEAD embarked for the sixth
time for America. Weakened by dis
ease, "a worn-out man." as Wesley de-
scribed him, he was compelled TO re-

WORK or EVANGELIST FOR THE SUPPORT OF ORPHANS

Religion with Whitefield and those as
ISOLATED with him was no mere pastime
for Sunday hour or two. 1t was the
vital, essential element of every day
life.
Franklin's DisparagementAn Answered
Out of the most discouraging cir
cumstances so much had already been
attained before Whitefeld's third ar
rival in 1744. 1t was a sufficient re-
Spouse to the disparagements cast upon
Whitefield's ideas by Benjamin Frank
lin when he urged upon him the mad
visibility of locating the orphan house
at Savannah. II did not disapprove Of
the design" says Franklin in his auto
biography, but as Georgia was then
destitute of materials and workmen,
and it was proposed to send them from
Philadelphia at a great expense,
thought it would have been better to
have built the home at Philadelphia
and brought the children to it, This 1
advised. but he (Whitefeld) was reso-
lutte in his first project, rejected my
counsel, and l therefore refused to con-
tribute. / happened soon after to at
tend one of his sermons, in the course
of which / perceived that he intended
to finish. with collection, and I silent
ly resolved that he should get nothing
from me. l had in my pocket a hand
ful of copper money, three or four sill
yer dollars. and five pistoles in gold
AS he proceeded 1 began to soften and
concluded to give the copper. Another
