Jack Thomas shows proof of miracles By Beulah Bradley The story of Jack Thomas is a compilation of many miracles Oh yes, there are miracles in this generation this one will .clingtoyour memory all of your days. If you will read this to the end you will agree with all who know him that there is nearperfection in this young man whose life teaches of dedication, perseverance, faith in a world which flaunts doubt, fear and sin. At thirty-fiv- e years Jack has come to be known as the artist who produces magnificent, lighted night scenes of the Salt Lake Temple. They are large oil paintings done on dark velvet. One was displayed at Brigham Young University Education Week in 1968 and 1969. People, upon entering the Handwork and Art Section were almost magneticly drawn to the back of the room where the painting was displayed. A feeling of awe and reverence permeeted all who beheld. Yes, his artistry is a miracle, but Jack himself is the greater you see, he has been a victim of Muscular Dystrophy since he was five years of age. Jack is handicapped according to world values, but not to Jack himself. He asks for nothing he expects nothing he has a beautiful clean body and spirit because the Lord has blessed him with adversity and he has moulded it into a marvelous talent. Those who know Jack say he has nearperfection human attributes. They say, he never has a word of complaint or discouragement, and never expects people to do things for him does not show hurt if they have to fail him, and his testimony of the Gospel is magnificent and strong. And because of his humility and devotion to God, and his Christ-lik- e spirit, the people of Genola Ward inSantaquin-Tinti- c Stake all strive to serve and be with him. Jack is an ardent member of his ward. He served as Executive Secretary to his and was Welfare Bishop from 1954-196-9, Clerk until released because of ill health. He was over Home Teaching for five years, getting 100 teaching with the 10 teachers under his jurisdiction. He was a Sunday School Teacher to 18 and 19 year olds for several years and of the nine students, five boys and one girl served missions for the Latter-Day-Sai- nt church. It would be rare indeed if Jack missed a meeting of Stake and Ward Conference, and all ward meetings. He spearheaded the Senior Aaronic Priesthood Group in Genola Ward for many years and through his inspiration every one of them went through Project Temple classes and to the temple Jack by their side. He attends all Priesthood Meetings and in general is the great moving inspiration of the ward, and he loves to sing with them. He always smiles and says, Ill try, to every challenge. His spirit is magnificent. To age seven Jack had his own horse and loved to ride with the wind. He still loves to hunt and fish and he has 100 flying hours, even piloting for a distance. He loved airplane model building as a youth. Friends and relatives take him wherever they go. He even enjoyed a tractor trip up rugged Santaquin Canyon for an Easter outing. Relatives and friends alike carry him on their backs from car to wheelchair or wherever and are grateful to be near Jack to bask in his humility and peaceable kingdom. It would be difficult to give personal credit to all who help Jack, or shall we say who feel privileged to serve him, but his close friends, Lloyd and Floyd Nelson, Don and Robert Oberg and Arden Throckmorton and his cousins, Lowell, Kenneth, Darwin and Douglas Thomas, have been very dedicated. He gives credit to Terry Johnson for giving him inspiration to paint about ten years ago and to elderly friends, Brother and Sister Fred W. Davis for many trips to Salt Lake City to get his body cast. Under a doctors supervision a padded high stool, with roller castors was designed for him. Jack leans on his miracle vehicle from waist up and in this leaning position he works before his artists easel, his left hand helping and supporting his right, to paint his glory on velvet. Oh, he paints other things too and most of them he gives to others. He does some selling. His first large temple painting he presented to Genola Ward, in gratitude" to all its members. His spectacular temple paintings, by the way, take three months to paint, and although people clamor for them his strength will not permit more orders. Jack has exhibited at Utah State Fair, but this was before his temple masterpiece. His first picture of pioneers, oxen and covered wagon was published in an Improvement Era. Many pictures hang on the walls of his parents home, Brother and Sister Milton Jarvis, who have encouraged his devotions and have lovingly expected him to achieve, to be honest and to learn to do and love his share of the work. His character speaks loudly of this. He always answers I'm fine when querried he simply has no axe to grind and his cross he carries beautifully. Yes, perseverance and a deep abiding love of God, is a watch and serve pattern for Jack. He has an unquenchable spirit to love and serve. He praises his parents and all who have been loving help and inspiration to him. Jack is a Ham Radio enthusiast and really loves to follow the stock market. He is presently working towards a radio license. He loves to play chess in his spare time and once played in a tournament. His philosophy? Try to do what you do to the best of your ability, and he loves .life and doing everything. Quite a philosophy for one who could easily feel defeated Oh he could easily qualify to become president of Abilities Incorporated an organization for handicapped who really are not. Although a special ward fasting and blessing did not actually bring Jack to physical walking, he can see so well Gods blessings in all of this, in being able to find and lift his talents to such magnificence and in being able to find and serve God and man. Like Job of early scriptures-hi- s adversity only serves to bring him closer t6 God. Do you doubt that God does work miracles his wonders to perform make a point of seeing Jacks temple portraits and you will see Gods handiwork is fulfilled often by the touch of hands whom some would say, could never capture the glory of the temple on canvas. four-legg- ed . has schooled himself to were wiser obey.

Remember: The Lord inspires leaders to call leaders, and they have earned the privilege because they have followed the Church standards, teachings, and commandments of the Lord; besides this, they have proven dependable and zealous in everything they were asked to do. Success is accepting many difficult assignments and making them work. It is having a determined spirit to not be defeated, and to keep on so, trying.
