...year on an Indian government scholarship studying museum techniques in Pittsburgh, Buffalo, Phoenix, San Francisco, New York, Boston and The Old Sturbridge Colonial Village--among other places. The last town may surprise you (it certainly did this interviewer), but not so once Dr. Prakash has explained the rather unique aspect of Indian museums. India's museums are generally of the multi-purpose type: mixtures of, say, The Gilbert Hall of Science, The Solomon R.

Doctrine for him was never a speculative but a practical matter, and the waves of his theocratic thought rolled on through the centuries to reappear in Scottish Presbyterianism and New England Puritanism...
...subject of birth control, the Presbyterians passed a resolution stating that the "sexual life" of a Christian marriage is "given by God for the benefit of his children, and is neither an ethically neutral aspect of human existence nor an evil which needs to be justified by something else, as, for example, by the procreation of children." The proper use of "medically approved contraceptives may contribute to the spiritual, emotional and economic welfare of the family." ¶ On the subject of race relations the Assembly cautioned United Presbyterians against supporting or tolerating assaults on the "God-given and Constitutionally guaranteed...
