Construction began eight months ago on the imposing brick mass, of the simplest design inside and out, whose most unique architectural feature are the five-story windows on front and back...

African religion difficult . . . the most logical adaptation for the slaves . . . and the simplest, was to give their adherence to that Christian sect which . . . in emphasizing baptism by total immersion . . . most resembled the types of worship known to them. . . .

By far the most interesting feature of the program is the short, "The Birth of Life." This title's a take, too. "The Birth...
