                    in the house of representatives

                      Tuesday, September 13, 2016

  Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Mr. Speaker, I ask for the House's attention 
today to recognize Pastor C.L. Daniel and the 70 years he has served in 
the ministry.
  C.L. Daniel was born on June 31, 1931, and at the age of 15, he felt 
the call to ministry. He wanted to share his faith and spread the 
gospel of Jesus Christ.
  Pastor Daniel has served as pastor at several churches with devotion 
and steadfast determination. He retired from York Town Baptist Church 
in Mobile, Alabama, in 2006 after 25 years. During that time, he and 
his wife would commute to and from Mobile every weekend from Opelika, 
Alabama.
  Pastor Daniel has served several small churches since his retirement 
and is currently serving as pastor at Historic Shiloh Baptist Church in 
Notasulga, Alabama.
  The Daniels have seven children: John White, Jr. (Deceased), Donald 
Daniel (Deceased), Renae Daniel (Deceased), Annie Lauren Poles, Cynthia 
Sheffield, Marilyn Daniel and Rosalyn Gilbreath. They have been blessed 
with five grandchildren, 15 great-grandchildren and five great-great 
grandchildren.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in celebrating Pastor Daniel and his 70 
years serving in the ministry.
