  Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize The 
75th Anniversary of the Bynum Baptist Church located in Bynum, Alabama.
  The Bynum Baptist Church began organization on a Sunday afternoon on 
September 14, 1947 at Bynum Community Building, Desoto Manor.
  The members of the Organizing Presbytery consisted of: Dr. B. Locke 
Davis, Pastor, Parker Memorial Baptist Church in Anniston; Rev. L.R. 
Perry, Pastor, Liberty & Bethel Baptist Church in Crossville; Rev. Otis 
C. Fincher of Wedowee; Rev. G.C. Shaddix, Pastor, New Haven Baptist 
Church, RFD 1 in Anniston; Bro. Ben Sawyer, Deacon, Parker Memorial 
Baptist Church; Bro. Fred B. Bryant, Deacon, Parker Memorial Baptist 
Church and Bro. S.L. Johnson, Moderator, Deacon, Parker Memorial 
Baptist Church.
  The church was organized with a charter membership of 37 Baptists 
living in and near the Bynum Community who desired to organize a 
church. Today the church's pastor is Rev. Benjie K. Miller.
  Madam Speaker, please join me in recognizing this milestone for Bynum 
Baptist Church.
