                         Tuesday, May 24, 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, the Reverend Henderson Hill of the True Vine of 
Holiness Baptist Church. Attached is a proclamation I issued Reverend 
Hill commending him for his work.

                              Proclamation

       Whereas the Reverend Henderson Hill is a native of Clinton 
     (Green County) Alabama, born to the late Tom and Lizzie Hill, 
     worked on the farm and attended Oak Grove Elementary School, 
     Green County Training High School, Boligee, Alabama, and 
     matriculated at Chicago Baptist Institute, Moody Bible 
     Institute, Olive-Harvey College, and Trinity Christian 
     College, Deerfield, Illinois earning the Bachelor Arts 
     Degree, and the Doctor of Divinity Degree, Hamilton State 
     University, Tucson, Arizona; and
       Whereas Reverend Hill was ordained a Deacon November, 1960, 
     called to the Gospel Ministry in 1966, a year later he 
     organized the True Vine of Holiness Missionary Baptist 
     Church, August, 1967, served as instructor for the State 
     Congress Class on Evangelism, moderator of the Fellowship 
     Baptist District Association 1976-1980, President of the 
     Progressive Baptist State Convention of Illinois 1980-1984; 
     and
       Whereas many souls have been saved through Reverend Hill's 
     ministry, the church facilities have expanded acquiring the 
     present building the former Pullman Bank at 400 East 111th 
     Street for $250,000 in 1975, Reverend Hill and the True Vine 
     of Holiness Baptist Church continue to be a Beacon of light 
     in this community: Now, therefore, be it
       Resolved, That the Congress of the United States wishes to 
     acknowledge the accomplishments of the Reverend Henderson 
     Hill.
