  Mr. FINCHER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Reverend Richard 
Carruth of Newbern, Tennessee for his 35 years of service to Methodist 
communities in Mississippi, Kentucky, and West Tennessee.
  Even as a retiree, Reverend Carruth has a long history of enriching 
and supporting the lives of his communities tri-state area. Since then, 
he has actively served small membership churches in the 8th District of 
Tennessee after making his retirement home in Dyer County.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask that my colleagues join me in congratulating 
Reverend Carruth on the occasion of his 35th Anniversary as a Methodist 
Reverend this May. There is no doubt that throughout those 35 years, 
his ministry has touched thousands of lives.
