                   TRIBUTE TO THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. FRANK PALLONE, JR.

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                       Friday, November 16, 2001

  Mr. PALLONE. Mr. Speaker, I would like to call to the attention of my 
colleagues, the 275th Anniversary of the Presbyterian Church in New 
Brunswick, New Jersey.
  The tradition of this historic and noble church has lasted the test 
of time in its service to its denomination community, state and nation. 
The church has served Governors, NJ and U.S. Supreme Court Justices, as 
well as many patriots and leaders in our war for independence.
  For the past 275 years, New Brunswick Presbyterian Church has served 
its community and its people seven days a week, 365 days a year. It is 
being commended today for not only serving their common interest but 
also opening their church up to others through such programs as meals 
on wheels campaign and child development centers.
  The church is a landmark in the city of New Brunswick and is an 
incredible asset to the people of its congregation and beyond.
  Today I ask my colleagues to congratulate not only the New Brunswick 
Presbyterian Church but also the entire community of New Brunswick for 
275 years of religious service.
