...Commission on Christian Doctrine appointed by the Archbishops of Canterbury and York in 1922, both the view that belief in the actual historical Virgin Birth is a necessity and that "the historical Incarnation is more consistent with the supposition that our Lord's birth took place under the normal conditions of human generation" are stated as being held in the Church of England. The Report concludes: "We also recognize that both the views outlined above are held by members of the Church, as of the Commission, who fully accept the reality of our Lord's Incarnation, which...
...College Board Achievement Tests. But along with the democratization and the testing remains an unbending remnant of past glories, a significant segment which finds the path of admission strewn with the roses of one of about twenty New England schools.

For normal driving, the motorist will merely have to push a button; the accelerator will do the rest. There is also a reverse gear and "emergency low" for snow and mud. With rising production and a backlog of 520,000 unfilled orders, Buick hopes next year to pass Plymouth, into third place behind Chevrolet...
