  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 Cornelius Southern of the Grace Apostolic 
Church. Attached is a proclamation I issued Elder Southern commending 
him for his work.

                              Proclamation

       Whereas Elder Cornelius Southern is the Founder and Pastor 
     of the Grace Apostolic Church, Chicago, Illinois and through 
     faithful service has been elevated by God to the office of 
     District Elder; and
       Whereas under the pastoral leadership of Elder Southern 
     Grace Church has increased in membership, in ministry, in 
     evangelistic outreach, celebrating twenty-five years of 
     service; and
       Whereas Elder Southern is Chairman of the Illinois District 
     Council of the International Pentecostal Assemblies of the 
     World, a member of the Rainbow Beach Coalition Advisory 
     Board, past president of the South Shore Ministerial 
     Association; and
       Whereas District Elder Southern is a true Role Model, a 
     family man married to Gussie Southern for thirty-five years, 
     God has blessed them with six children: Now, therefore, be it
       Resolved, That the Congress of the United States wishes to 
     acknowledge the accomplishments of District Elder Cornelius 
     Southern by entering these accomplishments into the 
     Congressional Record and Archives of the one hundred and 
     third Congress of the United States.
