                           HON. MEL REYNOLDS

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                          Friday, May 20, 1994

  Mr. REYNOLDS. Mr. Speaker, I would like to bring to the attention of 
my colleagues, the outstanding work done by a great leader in my 
congressional district, Elder Delmus Albert Allen of the Sion Temple 
Church of God in Christ. Attached is a proclamation I issued Elder 
Allen commending him for his work.

                              Proclamation

       Whereas Elder Delmus Albert Allen is a native of 
     Blytheville, Arkansas, where he also matriculated at Harrison 
     High School, he is married to Rosie Lee Allen, who has 
     labored faithfully by her husband's side, especially with the 
     Youth Ministry, Elder Allen is the father of six children and 
     thirteen great grand children; and
       Whereas Elder Allen was employed by the Chicago Transit 
     Authority as a Motorman for thirty years prior to his 
     retirement. He is a former member of the St. James Church Of 
     God In Christ where he served as Assistant Chairman of the 
     Deacon Board and YPWW Instructor, in 1972 the Lord Called 
     Elder Allen to the Gospel Ministry, later Pastor Allen 
     enrolled in the Charles Mason Seminary; and
       Whereas Elder Allen was led by God to establish the Sion 
     Temple Church of God In Christ, Chicago, Illinois, the Lord 
     prospered the congregation to purchase it's first new church 
     home and later it's present location at 1800 West 79th 
     Street, Chicago, Illinois; and
       Whereas Elder Allen has provided housing in the Englewood 
     Area for those with little or no resources, has fed the 
     hungry, continues to help uplift downtrodden humanity, leads 
     souls to Christ, and continues to be a steadfast role model 
     in the community: Now, therefore be it
       Resolved, That the Congress of the United States wishes to 
     acknowledge the accomplishments of Elder Delmus Albert Allen 
     and the Sion Temple Church Of God In Christ, Chicago, 
     Illinois by entering these accomplishments into the 
     Congressional Record and Archives of the One Hundred and 
     Third Congress.
