Calls For Continued Education County Man Waives Hearing
Bishop Glashen spoke to his congregation on education as knowledge citing Paul's example and Israelite history. Raleigh County man 23 year old David Gilly and 20 year old Glen Morgan waived preliminary hearing on rape charges. He was remanded to Raleigh County Jail without bond as magistrates set bonds per case. State Police arrested Lilly at 5 25 p m on a warrant. Education is defined as knowledge and walks with wisdom, foundational to civilization and government. God bless America to continue its education system stronger.
