      THE 100TH ANNIVERSARY OF CALVARY BAPTIST CHURCH RED BANK, NJ

                                 ______


                        HON. FRANK PALLONE, JR.

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, November 7, 1995

  Mr. PALLONE. Mr. Speaker, this week marks a very special occasion for 
all of the people of the Calvary Baptist Church in Red Bank, NJ. For 
the week beginning on November 6, and culminating next Sunday, November 
12, the church will mark its 100th anniversary. On Saturday, November 
11, an anniversary banquet at Lane Hall at Fort Monmouth will be held 
to commemorate this joyous occasion.
  Mr. Speaker, throughout its long and illustrious history, Calvary 
Baptist Church has been an important institution--not only for its 
members, but for the entire community. The church has played a central 
role in both the spiritual and secular lives of its members. While many 
changes have confronted the church, the Red Bank community, and indeed, 
our entire society over the past century, the church has stood as an 
anchor of stability, strength, hope, and sustenance for its members.
  Mr. Speaker, on this occasion, it gives me great pride to offer my 
congratulations to Rev. Dr. Dwight Crist Northington, pastor, John C. 
Dixon, Jr., and Donald Cameron, cochairpersons of the board of 
trustees, Ann Byron, church clerk and publicity cochairperson, and 
Peggy Allgood, publicity cochairperson, and all of the members of 
Calvary Baptist Church as they celebrate the 100th anniversary of the 
Calvary Baptist Church.
