Judge William Young was also present, who had neither song nor sentimentality about him, but in his unpoetic way looked at everything in the light of cold, hard fact.

And yet Bro.
Young is neither cold nor hard, only on the outside.

There also was Spartan Rhea (these brethren were all from Missouri), whose fine sense of honor and upright conduct we have already had occasion to commend while acting as justice of the peace during our former troubles.
Joseph Potter was also there, and so, also, was Joseph McBride, a notable preacher of Tennessee, that many years ago was one of the pioneers that planted the Christian cause in Oregon.

All told, we had a crowd large enough to fill a little, log school-house.

Brethren Yohe and Marshall, of Leavenworth City, also gave us assurances of their hearty help and sympathy.
