Bush presidential library. Don Evans, chairman of the Presidential Li- brary Site Selection Committee, contacted Tom- mye Lou Davis, the director of Baylor’s Presiden- tial Library Committee, on Dec. 21 to inform her that the committee had entered into “exclusive discussions” with Southern Methodist Univer- sity. According to Davis, Evans indicated that this announcement did not mean the committee had made a final decision or that Baylor was eliminat- ed from the running. Davis admitted that SMU was “obviously the Melea Burke/Lariat staff front-runner at this point” but did indicate that there were “a lot of angles” that the president’s Gideon Tsang, an interim teaching pastor, speaks Sunday to the congregation at University Baptist Church.

The non-U.S. NATO mission will grow from its current 500 ser- vice members to about 4,000, and its efforts will extend to regions beyond the greater Baghdad area, NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said at the end of a two-day meeting of alliance de- fense ministers. The U.S., which began drawing down its forces last year, has about 2,500 troops in Iraq in a separate mission. Stoltenberg said the expansion would start in the coming months. “Increases in troop numbers will be incremental,” he said.

    THE PRECIOUS THINGS OF GOD by Octavius Winslow, 1859 Click a link below to jump to that section… Foreword Preface The Preciousness of Christ The Preciousness of Faith The Preciousness of Trial The Preciousness of God's Thoughts The Preciousness of the Divine Promises The Preciousness of Christ's Blood The Precious Anointing The Preciousness of God's Children The Preciousness of God's Word The Preciousness of Prayer The Preciousness of Christ's Sympathy With Our Infirmities The Death of the Saints Precious FOREWORD For several years, I have kept an old used copy of "The Precious Things of God" near my desk, often using it as a devotional to stir up my heart to treasure those sacred truths of Scripture which are to mold our thoughts, words, and actions if we aim to live Christ-like. As is true of all of Dr. Winslow's writings, this volume is a precious gem about precious truths, replete with memorable statements and written for spiritual edification. Octavius Winslow, a descendant of one of the leading New England Puritans, Edward Winslow, was born in London on August 1, 1808. His father, Thomas, was an army captain who died when Octavius was seven years old, shortly after his God-fearing mother had taken the family of ten children to New York to prepare a new home. Despite the loss of their father, the Winslow family would be greatly blessed. All ten of the Winslow children would eventually be regenerated by the Holy Spirit; three sons would become evangelical ministers. Octavius would later write a hefty volume (which also begs reprinting) filled with spiritual content on his mother's life and experiences, Life in Jesus: A Memoir of Mrs.

Exhibitors, in fact, have the most practi- cal stake in a valid definition because of financial and legal implications of the term. Scholars will likely never produce an acceptable philosophical definition; the relevant criteria are too complex and contested. However, exhibitors work under fairly homogeneous business pressures, making a strong, valid, widely accepted and legally sufficient definition comparatively uncontroversial within that domain. This article argues that, within film exhibition, an independent art film: (1) is dis- tributed by an independent distributor or specialty division of a major studio; (2) has a platform (as opposed to a wide) release; (3) plays at art houses or film festi- vals; and (4) eschews the narrative, stylistic or thematic practices of contemporary mainstream films.
