                    in the house of representatives

                      Tuesday, September 26, 2006

  Mr. BURGESS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to remember Lobis Adams, the 
99-year-old retired pastor of the Corinth Missionary Baptist Church.
  Reverend Adams pastored the Corinth Missionary Baptist church for 33 
years before retiring in 2003. As a faithful servant to the Lord, 
Reverend Adams spent his life in the service of others by volunteering 
in countless Baptist organizations.
  His commitment to the church and the community are still visible 
today through the many organizations that he helped establish and lead. 
His dedication to education in the Baptist community is shown through 
his tenure as Director of Christian Education at the Texas State 
Missionary Baptist Convention. He also served as a board member to the 
Texas Baptist Foreign Mission board.
  It was my honor to represent Reverend Adams. I extend my sympathies 
to his family and friends. May the example of this man, whose 
contributions made richer the fabric of our faith, be inspiration to 
all.
