with him. In the service of this noble
church and people he spent he remain
der of his earthly pilgrimage, resigning
his active pastorate May 18th, 1903.
Thus Tor nearly seven and thirty years
ne labored in season and out of season
with assiduous and tender faithfulness
TO win precious souls to Christ. And
Tor almost three years later he dwelt
among them as pastor emeritus. hon
ored and loved, preaching as his health
would permit; visiting, marrying, bury
ing, baptizing, and encouraging the
falntling and the weary. The text
from which he preached his first
sermon as their pastor was Luke
Is: IS. 81 will arise and go to INV
Father" After well nigh forty years it
is startling to ask how many were pres
ent to hear his last sermon, of those
who had heard the first. Much of the
earlier congregation had passed over the
river and their bodies were resting
sweetly in their graves. In the year
1886 he received from Hampden- Sidney
the well-merfted degree of doctor of
divinity. On the 18th of October, 1889,
the union that had bound him SO ten
derby to the beloved wife of his youth.
was dissolved by the death of Mrs.
White, who for more than forty-six
years had been to him all that a refined
and cultivated christian woman could
be. She was friend and counselor and
wife; and wise and faithful
mother to his children. She was in
everything a helpmeet for him. Her
adjoining was that of a meek and quiet
spirit which is in the sight of the Lord
OF great price.
In the fall Of los and through the
early winter of 1906 Dr. Whites
health began seriously to threaten a
complete breakdown. And the warn
Ing proved to be only too true. For on
the 23d of March at the early hour OF
2:30 in the morning the call came to
him to come up higher and it found
him simply waiting with his lamp trim
med and burning, ready to obey the
summons. And SO the race Of the long
life reaching to nearly seventy-six years
ended in sweet peace.
1t is not needful to dwell much upon
the character of the man like DR.. George
William White. His native delicacy of
feeling would shrink from 1t. And to
the members of the Presbytery of Win
chester and to the entire Synod of Vir-
ginia, his many noble traits and virtues
are well known. Enough to say that
as a preacher he was a faithful and
conscientious expounder of Gods word
MS ldlIn was DIS simple as That or a lit

word of God, and that was the end OF
all controversy. Thus saith the Lord

with the weird vagaries, that pass I'M
der the assumed name of superior schol-
arship. He was a careful student and
clear thinker While held in most
aHect1onate esteem by his brethren in
the ministry, his own people will feel
the loss Of his wise and safe counsels to
degree that would be hard to esti-
mate. He was always easy OF access by
all, and to no one could they go in the
hour of trouble with such perfect free
dom. Many will there be to rise nm and

WILLIAM WHITE. D. d.

IL IL with feelings OF unfetgned Sor-
row that Winchester Presbytery writes
this beloved name among the dead AL
tnough he may no more answer to the
roll call, we desire that he shall still
abide in our memories as one of the
many who being dead yet speak.
George William White was born in
Nottoway county, Va, on the 22d OF
June, in the year 1880. His father. the
Rev. VIM. S. White, D. D., left Motto
way and came to Scottsville, Va. when
the subject Of this sketch was but four
years of age. Two years after this his
rather moved to Charlottesville, Va,
taxing charge Of the church in that
place. Here it was that George grew
up into his young manhood. He attend
ed first as sman boy an "old field"
school, near his fathers home. Later.
Wnen only ten years DID, he was sent
TO private school In Augusta county.
near Staunton, Va. After two years
spent here, he went to 1.-The Cove in
Alpermarle county, to Mr.. Pinkerton's
school. 1t was here as he himself tells
us, that when about fifteen years of age.
he was brought to seriously and intellt-
gently consider the great question.
What must I do to be saved?" 1t was
here that he gave his heart to God. And
he says, Il did not find religion a gloomy
thing. 1t did not abridge my innocent
but sometimes reckless sports" In the
fall of 1S47 he entered classical school
at Charlottesville, preparatory to the
university. Two years later he gradu-
ated In several of its schools, taking the
degree of A. B. He then determined to
teacn and TOOK up classical school near
the University. After teaching one wear
he was appointed temporary professor
of Latin in Washington College, and filled
out the term of one year, when the pro-
fesor-elect took charge. In the mean
time he had been chosen as a professor
In the Samuel Davies Institute at Hall
fax, G. H., Va. While holding this
position, he was married, July 81. 1853
at her home, to Miss Wilhelmina Ashlin,
a daughter of Col. Robert Ashlin, of
Fluvanna county, Va. About this time
his attention was directed to the sub
1ect of the ministry, and he decided to
enter Union Seminary, which he did in
the fall of 1855. He graduated in the
spring of 1857. In April of that year
he was licensed to preach by the Pres
bytery of West Hanover, at Old Roa-
noke church. He was then nearly twen-
ty-seven years old. He served the
Church at Buckingham, G. H. (then
large and wealthy Congregation for
nine months as stated supply. They
then gave him a unanimous call TO he
come their pastor, but he preferred
rather to take the missionary field offer
ed him In Brunswick and Dinwiddle
counties. Here he was ordained in NO.
vember, 1858, by East Hanover Presby-
terry He served these churches in
delightful and profitable pastorate for
eight years. Of his work here he wrote,
The church grew rapidly and was soon

Much is being said in the press
of the country, concerning the
dismissal, from the army, of the
three negroe companies by the
President; and some very pun
gent criticism has been made rel
ative to the action of the eXecu-
tive. The facts are, as we un
derstand them, that the negroes
were stationed at Brownsville,
Texas, and some of them, in
som way, relieved themselves
of the restraint of their officers,
went into the city Of Browns
vile got on a rampage, and
among other things, shot into
some private residences, killing
one man and badly Wounding an
other.
Upon demand being made by
the Texas authorities for the
guilty parties, their officers re-
fused to allow their arrest; and
all the members of the compa-
MES, to a man, refused to name
those who had been guilty of the
offense. Upon complaint being
made to the President, he order
ed the negroes to name the cul-
prits; and when they refused to
do this, he fired the "whole
push" from the service of the
United States.
This is a most remarkable
statement of fact. That any of
Uncle Sans trusted soldiers
should fail to obey command
given them by the highest Mill
itary Ohieftan in the Nation, is
most extraordinary and unlocked
or. If those soldiers were so full
of mutiny in time of peace, and
upon account of so small a matter
as the dilivery to justice Of q few
individual sinners, what may they
not have done upon some fal
more serious OCCASION.
1t has been said by others be
fore, and repeated by the grea
Pitchfork Senator from Soutl
Carolina in his recent speech a
Chicago, that the president diC
wrong, that he should not have
punished the innocent with th
guilty. But we are a long wa.
from accord with such a view
and another long distance fror
the belief that the president di
punish the innocent with th
guilty. But, we believe thos
soldiers. VINO refused to obey th
orders of their superior, an
name those of their comrade
who we're charged with the dc
1i1quincy, were not innocent, an,
not such army material as WoulC

ion of this court is that the Pres
