                                 ______
                                 

                100TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE HOUSE OF JACOB

 Mr. VOINOVICH. Mr. President, today I am pleased to extend my 
warmest congratulations to the Supreme Council of the House of Jacob of 
the United States of America as it celebrates its 100th anniversary 
with delegates from 41 locations from around the United States 
travelling to Coshocton, OH, for services in the church's newly 
constructed Mount Zion Tabernacle.
  For 100 years, the Supreme Council of the House of Jacob of the 
United States of America has invited men and women of diverse 
backgrounds to worship God according to the teachings of Jesus Christ, 
advocating strong family ties, a high standard of moral values and 
civic participation.
  I would like to recognize Supreme Bishop, Father J. Daniel Israel, 
J.O.G., and the Board of Directors of the House of Jacob of the United 
States of America, which make up the leadership of this church. I 
commend the ministries and the good works under their supervision 
within Ohio, and across our Nation.
  I encourage my fellow Ohioans, my colleagues in the Senate and the 
entire Nation to recognize this memorable anniversary celebration and 
to congratulate the Supreme Council of the House of Jacob of the United 
States of America on its 100-year anniversary on the 1st day in January 
2010. Also, may God continue to bless this Church, its leaders and its 
faithful members.
