                         HONORING DR. SAM DAVIS

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair recognizes the gentleman from 
Georgia (Mr. Barrow) for 5 minutes.
  Mr. BARROW of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor Dr. Sam Davis as 
he celebrates his 30th anniversary as pastor of Beulah Grove Baptist 
Church in Augusta, Georgia.
  Dr. Davis was born in Barnwell, South Carolina, and is a graduate of 
Voorhees College, Morehouse School of Religion, and the Columbia 
Theological Seminary. Under Dr. Davis' leadership, Beulah Grove has 
greatly expanded its reach and increased its rank.
  Beulah Grove is 100 years old, and Dr. Davis is only the ninth pastor 
in the church's history, but he has led that church for almost a third 
of that century. He has followed in the church's greatest traditions 
and led it into the 21st century as one of the most visionary 
communities of faith in the region.
  To Dr. Davis, his wife, Beverly, and to the entire Beulah Grove 
Baptist community, I extend the heartiest of congratulations on this 
milestone, and I wish you all many, many more.
