The man I call a hero is Ernest Charle s Manning.He was born September 20th 1908 in Carnduff, Saskatchewan. His parents were George H. Manning and Elisabeth M. Dickson. Mr.Manning was an only child he growing up in a church family. Growing up on a farm he had little money and friends. He was a devoted listener to an evangelistic radio station. Alberta Premier Willian Aberhart was his favorite broadcast. Manning later enrolled in Aberhart's Calgary Prophetic Bible Institute where he was the first graduate. Manning then began speaking on the radio broadcast to many Canadians. This started his career in politics. He also met his wife, the pianist for the Prophetic Bible Institute.
