Brantley. He was asked to be the Protestant Chaplain for the Utah State Prison. The officials at the prison were looking for a special, trained person who could work with minority groups especially blacks. REV. BRANTLEY, assisted frequently by his wife, has been faithful in this assignment.

The inmates get credit toward parole for church attendance, Mrs. Brantley says. It is impossible to really know if they are sincere when they attend services and ask for help. They remind me of my school children. They want someone else to take responsibility for their action. When the inmate realizes he is in charge of his own life and no one else can be given the credit or the blame, then Rev. Brantley can help the person, Mrs. Brantley claims. BEING THE prison chaplain THERE WERE boxes of clothing, toys and food. Thirty dollars worth of groceries were purchased. A case of oranges was part of the Christmas gift. The 54 members of the Honor Society were grateful to a generous studentbody who really cared enough to make Christmas special for one Davis County family. THERE WAS enough money left over after buying clothing, toys and food to help the large family pay their utility bill, dmg ances at the Utah State Prison, the preparation he needs to work effectively with the inmates comes through prayer. "This must put me in the right frame of mind to listen, understand and offer good advice," says Rev. Brantley. EVEN THOUGH the chaplain assignment at the prison is difficult, it is also rewarding.
