ANSWERS TO LAST
WEEK’S QUESTIONS
1. 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.

A REPORT
to America
The Ford Motor Company’s
business has always been to
serve the needs of the American
people. 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.
