Question: What is the Church Mill
tant? Answer: 1t is the Church OF
God throughout the world, the flesh and
the devil, consisting of many branches,
but united by holding to the one Lord,
the one Faith and the one Baptism.
You claim that your Church is a branch
of the Holy Catholic Church?
Yes, for it traces its ancestry back in
an unbroken line through the Church OF
England to the days of the Apostles. II
is originally a part of the original Church
which our Lord founded and with which
He promised to present unto the END
of the world"
This d~ifferentiates it in a very i'm
portant way from modern denomination
al bodies and gives it a special claim.

DUPONT EARNINGS GREAT
Great Profits On Powder Makes
Immense Surplus

The annual report of the earnings of
the new company of L. L. DUPONT de
Nemours 20. was made public last Sat
urday in New York and was most salts
factory to all concerned.
The surplus available for common div
idend at the end of 1915 was $55,542,-
600, an increase of SOL, $4,000 over 1914.
As a result of the war demand, the
number of men employed by this company
has been increased from $500 in October,
1914, to 62,1S6. The DUPONT Company,
unlike many other concerns selling goods
to the Allies, not only has made nearly all
of its deliveries on time, but has antici-
rpated its delivery dates in many cases.
The company declared an extra dividend
of 22h per cent. on its common stock
last week.
Net earnings last year were $57,S40,-
900, against 5000, 600 in 1914, an in
crease of $52,237,000. Common dividends
were $24, 136,000 in 1915, lone having
been paid in the year previous. The
balance after dividends on both classes of
stock was $31,405,000.
President Pierre s. DUPONT in his re-
marks to stockholders says:
New world conditions found e. /. du-
Pont deNemours Powder Company in a
unique position. In this country our
company alone was possessed of a most
complete organization and equipment for
the filling of moderate orders, and for
the rapid enlargement of factories for
further production of materials suddenly
required in enormous quantities. In con
sequence, the officers and employees of the
company have been called upon to put
forth their utmost efforts in order to meet
extraordinary demands. Contracts under
taken have required the designing and
building of immense plants, whose con-
struction and operation have necessitated
the increase in men employed. Due to
the cooperation of men throughout the
entire organization the company has been
able to deliver nearly every pound of ex-
p~losiyes on contract time and, a great
percentage of all contract deliveries have
been anticipated by large margins.
THE record of the commercial business
of the company for the year 1915 was
satisfactory, and there are indications of
IA large volume of business during 1916.
Some new ines Of investment haye begun
to pay well and others have passed their
trial stage and have added to the earn
ings of the company.
1T is hoped that new manufactures
will be developed to take the place of the
abnormal military business but we cannot
expect to employ all of the large explo-
sives plants recently built we are there
fore amortizing this investment by heavy
charges against the profits of this tenn
porary business"
In connection with the proft-sharing
plan, 1926 shares of the old company
and 25,452 shares of the new company
nave been distributed to employees in the
years of 1905 to 1914, inclusive. Direct
ors have offered for subscription this year
5000 shares of debenture stock, making a
total of 13,441 shares purchased by en-
ployes since 1909. OF the 3S40 share
holders % per cent. are employees.
