lieve that it is good thing to
build large and beautiful churches.
Now, take this matter of missions.
The missionaries were the pioneers
in new countries. Take the Orient,
where we send our cars. The mis-
sionaries made this commerce pos
sible. They madeR the first paths
and trails. They were the pioneers.
We followed with cars and COM

way. That is always true.

China. We are thinking big things
for China"
Mr.. Ford told me that not long
ago he had advised certain young
man who came to him, to go into
the ministry.
''Why?" 1 asked him.
NEED MORE CLERGYMEN.
Because for the next fifteen
years following the war there is
great need for men of your profess
sion. What we need, however. is
more religion and less profession
alism in our ministry and we need
it mixed into industrial life"
Then Mr.. Ford added phrase
that we chuckled over:
'And you don't need to rub the
skin off your knees to make that
kind of e, minister, either"
He continued with emphasis.
Its all in tho Sermon on the
Mount. You can take that and put
it into industry anywhere and it
milf dav1if nnnd fn rHy0Fsly
up to it. You can slap 1t right
any business ana 1t will work COM
pletely. You don't have to build
up to the Sermon on the Mount.
That Sermon on the Mount is

MIR. Ford turned to me following
this conversations as we all sat
around the wall in his office and
said:
your best friend is one who can
bring out the best that is in you"
, I asked Mr.. Ford to write that
in the fly-leaf of book called
Mr. Ford's own page and copy
it from that for this article.
EUL0GIZED BY COLLEAGUE.
When Golden Rule Nash" was
in Detroit few weeks ago as my
guest he said. Henry Ford is doing
more to put Christian principles
into industry than any maHufact-
urer I know. He is the pioneer.
We all follow his leadership"
I referred, in closing the CONVEX
sation, to Mr.. Ford's personal
friend, John Muir, the great natur-
alist, of whom Bishop Quayle said:
''Jehn Muir knew the garden, but
he never found the Gardener"
Mr. Ford waited q few seconds
in thought and then looked up and
said: mo, Mr.. Muir didn't seem
to find the Gardener. It's too bad.
There must be az Gardener, you
know, for all this beauty"
