                    TRIBUTE TO DR. JAMES D. STRAUSS

  (Mr. REDMOND asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. REDMOND. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to pay tribute to one of 
America's living treasures, Dr. James D. Strauss of Lincoln Christian 
Seminary.
  Dr. Strauss has committed his life to the training of Christian 
ministers who today circle the globe in their service to people of many 
ethnic and racial groups.
  Dr. Strauss is no ordinary professor. For 40 years his sharp mind has 
ignited sleeping minds. His commitment has influenced great 
accomplishments in others. His servant's heart has moved others to 
service. His profound grasp of reality has inspired others in such a 
way that they understand their place in the universe.
  Today, the honor of professor emeritus will be conferred upon Dr. 
James D. Strauss, an honor that in his humility, he would deny that he 
has earned. Yet his vigor and quest for his service to God will no 
doubt give new meaning to the word ``emeritus.''
  Dr. Strauss, your servants have seen and bear witness that you have 
presented your life as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable before 
our Creator.
