...preach the Word? This is no day for raising questions concerning the reliability and authority of God's word." Despite White's victory, the messengers thwarted other conservative hopes. In the first Statement of Faith since 1925, the convention roared approval of a paragraph supporting academic freedom in Baptist schools, approved another phrase speaking of the church as embracing "all of the redeemed of all ages," which conservatives considered too ecumenical in nature. They shunned a resolution to censure the Kansas City's Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, where Elliott had taught. The consensus was that the split...
...none of this has saved James from becoming for many readers simply an exquisite specimen of nineteenth century intellectual history. He wore a beard when beards were fashionable--an unfashionable capitulation for a Harvard man.

It would not do to leave you with this low impression of drug users or drugs...
...Absolute Natural." Burton trained as a navigator, but the war ended before he could fly missions. He spent the next two years playing rugger for the R.A.F. He has never saved a single theatrical notice, but he will unblinkingly refer anyone to "page 37, paragraph i of Rugger, My Life" a book by Wales's own Bleddyn Williams, the Red Grange of Rugby. "I played with a wing-forward," writes Williams, "who soon caught the eye for his general proficiency and tireless zeal. His name: Richard Burton. But it was in CinemaScope that he caught the eye after...
