"was an Episco- palian (stony silence), but my kreat grandmother belonged to the Presbyterian Church of Scot- land (continued silence). My grandfather was a Baptist (more silence), but my grandmother Rasa Congregationalist (frigid a lecce). But I had a great aunt who was Wesleyan Methodist (loud applause) and-and I have always followed my great sunt." He won the seat.
