               ANNIVERSARY OF CONCORDIA PUBLISHING HOUSE

 Mr. BOND. Mr. President, I wish to bring to the attention of 
the Senate and the American public the 125th anniversary of Concordia 
Publishing House. On March 9, 1994, Concordia Publishing House 
celebrated 125 years of producing quality children's books in South St. 
Louis, MO.
  Families all over the world are familiar with Arch Books which are 
admired for their enjoyable rhyming Bible stories and lively 
illustrations. Concordia Publishing House sold over 55 million copies 
of these books. Soon, they will be introducing a new series of 
children's books, ``PassAlong Arch Books.'' In celebration of their 125 
years of publishing, Concordia Publishing House will give away 400,000 
copies of the first book of the new series, ``God's Easter Plan.''
  Concordia Publishing House has shown perseverance and dedication in 
the field of publishing. For 125 years, they have provided a meaningful 
service to the St. Louis community and families all over the world. I 
am justifiably proud of their achievements and extend my sincere 
congratulations to them.
  Mr. President, I am honored to have had the opportunity to recognize 
the accomplishments of Concordia Publishing House.
