Twelve miles above St.George was Ashland, where we found Bro.

N.B.White, father to A.
J.White, who has hitherto been pastor of the church at Leavenworth City; but since has been acting as district evangelist.Bro.

N.B.
White came from Carthage, Ky., and long remained a faithful and indefatigable preacher.

In my experience as an evangelist, I have known many men of superior Christian excellence; but never one man of more singleness and integrity of heart; never one man that had a clearer conception of the ultimate purposes and results of Christianity; never a man whose life was more unselfish and self-sacrificing.

Being of an intensely nervous and high-strung organization, and doing his work in a mixed population that would have taxed the patience of Job in its management, it is no wonder that Bro.
White was sometimes misunderstood, and, like all reformers, was made to feel that he was living before his time.
Thus passed in abundant labors the year 1860, and the time drew on for our yearly meeting, which had been appointed to be held at Prairie City in September, 1861.
