Mr. CLYBURN. Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to rise today to welcome to these Chambers and to this well a good friend and a personal, I will say, savior to a multitude of South Carolinians.

Reverend Charles B. Jackson has been serving as pastor of Brookland Baptist Church now for 54 years, having been installed at the age of 18.

I first met him about 2 or 3 years into his pastorate when he was still a student at Benedict College in Columbia. He graduated from the Morehouse School of Religion in Atlanta and has served not only as a pastor of their church, but as a great leader in South Carolina.

He serves to make true the words of James when he wrote in his epistle: ``Faith without works is dead.''

His work is a living monument to the people of South Carolina and these United States of America, and I am pleased to welcome him here today.
