Whenever you sacrifice conviction for expediency, you lose the thrust that is necessary for growth. The cause of Christianity will be hurt." Dr. Duke K. McCall, president of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary at Louisville, Ky., had even stronger words. The loosening of denominational loyalty, he said last week in a commencement speech, "is fed by Biblical illiteracy.

But independence can be a relative thing. Only after Cousins & Co. have finally moved into McCall's spacious quarters...
...Scornful Laugh. What resurrected the cry for protection-besides Premier Diefenbaker's political priming of what he likes to call "pro-Canadianism"-is the fast-spreading U.S. technique of "split-run" advertising; starting late last year, the Saturday Evening Post, McCall's, LIFE and Look opened Canadian-circulation copies to specifically Canadian advertising.
