                       Thursday, October 8, 1998

  Mr. CLEMENT. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor of Mr. Larry J. 
Crismon and his thirteen years of service as the pastor of Bright 
Temple Church of God in Shelbyville, Tennessee.
  On Sunday, October 11, 1998 the congregation of Bright Temple will 
come together to honor Pastor Crismon and his wife Audrey for their 
dedication to the church and their service unto God. I would like to 
join the congregation in its celebration of the long and distinguished 
career of Pastor Crismon.
  Pastor Crismon's service extends beyond the walls of his church. He 
has been active in community affairs by serving on the boards of the 
Red Cross, United Way, Ministerial Alliance, Vocational Advisory 
Committee, Families First, Child Development Center, Bedford Countains 
United For a Better Tomorrow, South Tennessee Counseling Association, 
Tennessee Eastern Second Jurisdiction, and Auxiliaries in Ministry. 
There is no question that Pastor Crismon's tireless work has made his 
community a better place for all of its people.
  I congratulate Pastor Crismon on his accomplishments and wish him 
many more years of providing spiritual guidance and community 
leadership to the people of Shelbyville, Tennessee.
