Urges New National PARTY
Made Up of Christian
Men.

"A new liberal political party, COM
posed OF practical Christian men,
should be formed In the United
states. said DR.. Paul Kaufman,
preaching on Christianity and Citi-
zenship." at the Mount Pleasant
MethodHt Episcopal Church yester-
day morning.
During the reconstruction period
the church must provide new stand
ards OF political citizenship and bring
these standards to the world. for the
world will not come to the church for
them" DR.. Kaufman declared.
THE church, which hitherto has
been regarded as a conservative body,
must now. through its members, be-
come a new liberal influence. The
two existing political parties prsc-
tically have become indistinGuishable
in their platforms, and this fact en-
phasizes the importance of the for
nation Of a new party"
DR.. Kaufman said that the new
party should have the following pro-
gram for operation: First, the estab-
lishment OF ''long-range" interest. by
participating actively in politic1l
campaigns. and speaking for the new
cause; second. the practice of more
intimate interest IN an llulNiuudl
immediate community.
THE Old Testament commands us
to love God. but in the New Testa-
ment Christ gives US new COM
mandment. Love thy neighbor.' The
second commandment is not obeyed
II Christian shows indifference in
the work OF his community. does not
seek to restrain corrupt politics, and
does not take an active part in the
affairs Of the nation. Christian men
all are supposed to have a political
citizenship. by the express command
oF Christ"

Drawing a lesson from the unity by
which we achieved victory in the

The American people should stand
behind the President in his fsht for
the league Of nations" in his SER
mon yesterday at St. Johns Church,
Lafayette square.
The American people must con-
tinue to be united in a single purpose,
not only to aid themselves but to
employ all their means to help their
brothers across the sea-" declared the
speaker.
The Christian nowadays must not
only profess himself a Christian
said DR.. Gardner, but he must also
see 10 II that his fellow man becomes
a Christian"
To do this SUCCESSFULLY" said the
preacher. "a man must make the
world his field OF action and must
fight TO include all men under the
banner of Christianity. that unity
may exist in religious as well as in
political matters. Then only shall our
lives be contented and our strength
lie In the singleness OF our purpose" ."

THE Red Cross programs are pri-

but will endeavor to supplement 9TH
er agencies where they already ex-
ist, or to stimulate and organize
work where none such exists"
e The tremendous task of the Amer
lean Red Cross in the war has. how
ever, left continuing oblig igation
which cannot be fulfilled for some
months to come. DR.. Farrand stated.
In an amendment to the army bill,
Congress has prolonged the respon-
sibility of the Red Cross abroad by
authorizing Secretary of War Baker
to transfer medical and surgical sup
plies not needed by the army ito be
used by the American Red Cross to
relieve and supply the pressing
needs Of the countries involved in
the late war"
The Red Cross authorities real
ize that the astonishing generosity
of the American people during the
war and the present high cost of liv-
ing at home might legitimately lead
many to expect a release from fur
ther demands for assistance to other
peoples" continued DR.. Farrand, but
we must remember that our allies
were much harder hit by the war
than were we. and that we have in
CURED obligations to them which
honor demands shall be discharged.
In naming the sum OF s15,000,O00, the
Red Cross has tried to determine the
smallest amount which will enable
it to round out its work and make
effective the appropriation Of army
goods rather than to estimate the
generosity OF the American people"
