Whitefield, George (1714-1770), British evangelist and organizer of the Calvinistic Methodists.\n\nWhitefield was born in Gloucester, England, and educated at Pembroke College, University of Oxford. During his undergraduate days Whitefield met John and Charles Wesley and joined the Holy Club, the members of which were known as methodists. In 1736 Whitefield was ordained deacon in the Church of England and two years later followed the Wesley brothers to Savannah, Georgia, as a missionary. Shortly thereafter, Whitefield returned to England and was ordained a priest. Because of his unconventional manner of preaching and conducting services, many Church of England pulpits were closed to him; he therefore began to preach in the open air and attracted vast crowds by his eloquence. In 1739 he returned to America and participated with the American Congregational clergyman Jonathan Edwards in inaugurating the revival movement that later became known as the Great Awakening.\n\nIn 1741 Whitefield went to England to preach, extending his evangelical work to Scotland and Wales. Largely because of differences concerning the question of predestination, Whitefield broke with John Wesley about 1741, although the two men maintained their friendship. After this rupture Whitefield was recognized as leader of the Calvinistic Methodists.\n\nBetween 1744 and 1748, Whitefield again toured the American colonies, drawing enthusiastic crowds. On his return to England in 1748, he became chaplain to the British religious leader Selina Hastings, countess of Huntington, who aided him materially in his evangelical pursuits and enabled him to speak before members of the British nobility. After 1751 Whitefield preached extensively throughout Great Britain and Ireland and in America. He also found time to compile a hymnbook, which appeared in 1753. While in America, again on one of his preaching circuits, he died in 1770.\n\nThe extraordinary influence Whitefield exercised during his lifetime was attributable chiefly to his oratorical skill; he is said to have preached more than 18,000 sermons. His collected writings were published posthumously (7 volumes, 1771-1772).

It was either Leonard Taylor or Dave Butler.  I am going to guess Dave Butler.

He and his wife built Hope Place, a shelter for unwed mothers, on property near their home in rural Tennessee; they also founded the Alpha & Omega Ministry to sponsor a community development bank in Knoxville. "I'm trying to build up black people's morale, self-confidence and self-reliance to show them that the Jesus I'm talking about is real," White explained in Ebony.\n\nAlthough he took an hiatus from the pulpit in order to learn more about the art of preaching, White continued his missionary work among teenaged gang members, abused children, and young women seeking an alternative to abortion. He also tithed a good portion of his NFL income to several Baptist churches. Reflecting on his work in the Philadelphia Daily News, the "minister of defense" concluded: "The Bible says, 'Faith without works is dead.' That is just another way of saying: 'Put your money where your mouth is.'"

EVEREST, SIR GEORGE (179o1866), British surveyor and geographer, was the son of Tristram Everest of Gwerndale, Brecknockshire, and was born there, on the 4th of July 179o. From school at Marlow he proceeded to the military academy at Woolwich, where he attracted the special notice of the mathematical master, and passed so well in his examinations that he was declared fit for a commission before attaining the necessary age. Having gone to India in 1806 as a cadet in the Bengal Artillery, he was selected by Sir Stamford Raffles to take part in the reconnaissance of Java (1814-1816); and after being employed in various engineering works throughout India, he was appointed in 1818 assistant to Colonel Lambton, the founder of the great trigonometrical survey of that country. In 1823, on Colonel Lambtons death, he succeeded to the post of superintendent of the survey; in 1830 he was appointed by the court of directors of the East India Company surveyor-general of In4ia;, and from that date till. his retirement from the service in 1843 he continued to discharge the laborious duties of both offlces. During the rest of his life he resided in England, where he became fellow of the Royal Society and an active member of several other scientific associations. In 1861 he was made a C.B. and received the honor of knighthood, and in 1862 he was chosen vice-president of the Royal Geographical Society. He died at Greenwich on the 1st of December 1866. The geodetical labors of Sir George Everest rank among the finest achievements of their kind; and more especially his measurement of the meridional arc of India, 111/2 in length, is accounted as unrivalled in the annals of the science. In great,part the Indian survey is what he made it.\n\nHis works are purely professional :A paper in vol. i. of the Memoirs of the Royal Astronomical Society, pointing out a mistake in La Cailles measurement of an arc of the meridian which he had discovered during sick-leave at the Cape of Good Hope; An account of the measurement of the arc of the meridian between the parallels of 18 3 and 24 7, being a continuation of the Grand Meridional Arc of India, as detailed by Lieut.-Col. Lambton in the volumes of the Asiatic Society of Calcutta (London, 1830); An account of the measurement of two sections of life Meridional Arc of Indio, bounded by the parallels of i8 3 15, 24 7 ii, and 20 30 48 (London, 1847).\n\n\n\nColonel Sir George Everest (July 4, 1790 – December 1, 1866) was a Welsh surveyor, geographer and Surveyor-General of India from 1830 to 1843.\n\nHe was largely responsible for completing the section of the Great Trigonometric Survey of India along the meridian arc from the south of India extending north to Nepal, a distance of approximately 2400 kilometres. The survey was started by William Lambton in 1806 and lasted several decades. Mount Everest was surveyed and named after Everest by his successor Andrew Waugh.\n\nEverest was born at Gwernvale Manor near Crickhowell, in Powys, Wales. He was baptised at St Alfege's Church, Greenwich on January 27, 1791. After attending the Royal Military Academy at Woolwich, where he excelled at mathematics, he travelled to India in 1806 as a cadet in the Bengal Artillery. There he was selected by Sir Stamford Raffles to take part in the reconnaissance of Java between 1814 and 1816.\n\nIn 1818, Everest was appointed as assistant to Colonel Lambton, who had started the Great Trigonometrical Survey of the sub-continent in 1806. On Lambton's death in 1823, he succeeded to the post of superintendent of the survey and in 1830 was appointed Surveyor-General of India.\n\nEverest retired in 1843 and returned to live in England, where he became a Fellow of the Royal Society. He was knighted in 1861 and in 1862 he was elected Vice-President of the Royal Geographical Society. He died at Greenwich in 1866 and is buried in St. Andrews Church, Hove, near Brighton. His niece, Mary Everest, married mathematician George Boole.\n\n
