                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, April 23, 1998

  Mr. POSHARD. Mr. Speaker, it is my great honor to rise today in 
recognition of an exceptional and inspirational woman, Mother Charlotte 
Eades, to mark the occasion of her appointment as State Supervisor of 
Women, 1st Jurisdiction of Illinois-Church of God in Christ. Mother 
Eades has served for twenty-eight years as the First Assistant to 
former State Supervisor of Women, Mother Carrie Cantrell. Sadly, Mother 
Cantrell recently passed away, but there could be no more dedicated, 
experienced or respected woman to succeed her than Mother Eades.
  In addition to being a devoted wife, mother, sister and friend, 
Mother Eades has served the church in many capacities. She has been a 
teacher, an evangelist, a missionary, an advisor, and for the past 
seven years, she has served as Dean of the C.H. Mason/William Roberts 
Bible College. Mother Eades is a true leader and a role model who gives 
selflessly and generously of her wisdom, time, experience and talents. 
She has already touched so many lives, and as State Supervisor of Women 
she will have the wonderful opportunity to touch so many more.
  On May 2, Mother Eades will be honored at a ceremony in Hickory 
Hills, Illinois, in recognition of her ascendance to the position of 
State Supervisor of Women. Mr. Speaker, it gives me great pleasure to 
add my congratulations and to express my deep gratitude for Mother 
Eades' years of dedicated service and for the excellent example I know 
she will continue to set for Christian women everywhere. I know my 
colleagues join me in saluting Mother Eades on this very special 
occasion.
