pastor, and Rev Alton Bryant, who had just returned from Los Angeles, was
one of any aspirants who applied for the position. The old saying from the
scriptures: “The last shall be first” certainly came true for Rev Bryant He was

probably uses more energy than any
other appliance you own. So it makes
sense to cut energy use while you main-

First, check the setting. Your hot

her mother impressed upon her young
