Jesus is the foundation and builder of the true church. 2. Jesus established only one church, but composed of many members or congregations. 3. The first church was com posed of baptized believers, and so was a baptized church, — “baptism” being “immersion.” 4. Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist* who was apparently the first man authorized to bap tize. 5. The mode of baptism has been changed, so that now, in addition to immersion, sprinkling and pouring are both used by religious bodies as forms of bap tism, though without explicit Scriptural authority.

In providing them with low-cost transportation for the past 38 years, we have devel oped one of the country’s larg est and most useful industrial units. During a national emer gency, we feel that these facili ties should be devoted without reserve to our country’s needs. Toward that end we started rolling months ago, with these results: 1 A $21,000,000 Ford airplane en ‘ gine factory, started only 6 months I ago, is nearly completed. Production will start with an initial order for 4,236 eighteen cylinder, air-cooled, double-row, radial engines. O We are building a new $800,000 ^ Ford magnesium alloy foundry, one of the few in the country. It is already producing lightweight air plane engine castings. 3 Army reconnaissance cars — mili tary vehicle* of an entirely new type — are rolling off special Ford assembly lines at the rate of more than 600 a month. We have produced Army staff cars and bomber service trucks. The government has given tl "go-ahead" and work is np iiae nrair f/v# rha faer ■ go-ahead and work is np under way for the fast constructs _ C ill 1 AAA AAA n l * V* HU <D>*ltVVV,WV JL VSJL U piaill to produce bomber airframe assemblies by mass produc tion methods. 5 Several month* ago work wai started, on our own initiative, on an entirely new 1500 horsepower air plane engine especially designed for 4 mass production. This engine is now in the test stage and plans are being developed for producing it in large 1 quantities when and if needed. C A Ford aircraft apprentice school " has been established, to train 2000 students at a time. That is a report of progress • to date. j The experience and facilities of this company can be used to do much of the job which America now needs to get done in a hurry. j Our way of working, which avoids all possible red tape, en ables us to get results and get them fast. This benefits users of our products and workers who produce them. \j^e are ready to make any thing we know how to malrg, to make it to the limit of our capacity if need be, to make it as fast as we can go, and to start the next job whenever our country asks us to. And to this end, we know we have the full commence and loyal support of the workmen throughout our plants. FORD MOTOR COMPANY
