The Memoirs of Henry Eyster Jacobs: The Life of a Churchman “In 1906, Dr. Henry Eyster Jacobs, then in his sixty-second year, wrote these notes on his experiences in the leadership of the Lutheran Church. As he states in his opening sentence, these notes are set down for the use of others. He had in mind particularly his own son, Dr. Charles Michael Jacobs, then pastor of Christ Church, Allentown - later to succeed him as President of the Lutheran Theological Seminary at Philadelphia. The notes were handwritten in his miniscule script, and filled twenty-five of his familiar end-open note books. He reviewed the notes at least twice later and made corrections, additions and deletions. These changes are quite apparent in the manuscript by the shaky hand-writing and the occasionally added date of entry ( 1922, 1927, etc.). “It was not his wish that the notes be published in their original form since much of the material deals with personalities. While he felt that the remarks were perfectly fair, he had been brought up in a time when the fragility of human relationships was only too evident. Thus he did not propose to reveal his inner thinking to an unknowing world.” - From the Introduction Level of Difficulty: Primer: No subject matter knowledge needed.
