Capital and Labor Could
Adjust Differences by Fol.
lowing Teachings Of Saw
Tor, The Rev. J. Franklin
Bryan Asserts in Sermon.

The meaning OF Christ's coming to
save the world from the effects of
sin was explained In a sermon on
The Name Of Jesus" by the Rev. J.
Franklin Bryan yesterday morning in
North Carolina Avenue. NJ E. Church.
Jesus came to save all men from
sin. since His name means Savior,
said the Rev. Mr., Bryan. He Is not
only the Savior from all sin. but He
came to save all men from sin.
He came to save men first from
personal sin. and though we speak OF
the salvation OF the masses. each one
must accept Christ as his Savior per-
sonally.
There are many things In the eco
nomic world of today that would not
exist II people in their business af-
fairs would live their lives and carry
on their business matters according
TO Christ's teachings. To correct
these fundamental errors of the eco
nomfc world was one OF the purposes
Of the coming of Christ.
ITO save the world from social sins
was another aim OF Christ in coming
on earth. The members of the church
today are the leaders In the social
life of our great cities. Some OF their
actions are Questionable. As the So
cial life Is In the hands of the church
members. they have a great power to
reform social life.
Jesus Christ came also to save in
the twentieth century from our in
dustrial sins. The two great divisions
in Industrial life are organized labor
and organized wealth. Though they
are at times apparently friendly to
each other. neither side trusts the
other, There is lacking that brother
ly feeling which would exist among
all in the Industrial life IL they al
lowed Christ to have His way.
Lastly Jesus Christ came to save
from ecclesiastical sins. These are
not the sins of the individual Christian
but the great gigantic sin of division
among the many denominations. It
Is the one purpose of saving souls.
Since Christ spoke of the church being
one. IL is unmistakably a sin for the
many denominations to be divided
among themselves"

Prague.-In the name of the Czecho-

a strong note Of protest to Bella Kun,
Hungarian Communist foreign minis
ter, concerning the aerial lombard
ment of a Czecho-Slovak town by the
Hungarians as well as other violations
of the armlstice. The premier also de-
mands from Hungary a definite and
formal understanding that there shall
be no recurrence of such hostile acts.

Paris.-A strong arrangement of the
present Hungarian government is con-
tanned in the allied statement just is
sued in which it was made to the Hun
garian people that they could only OBJ
tain g removal of the blockade and
receive food supplies if they ousted
Bella Kun and set up u truly represen-
tative government. The ext of the
statement follows:
1.-THE allied and associated govern
ments are most anxious to arrange a
peace with the Hungarian people and
thus bring to an end Il condition of
things which makes the economic re-
vival of central Europe possible and
defeats any attempt to secure sup
plies for its population.
"These tasks can not even be at
tempted until there is in Hungary a
government which represents its peo-
pie and carries out in the letter
and the spirit the engagements into
which it has entered with the asso-
ciated governments.
"None of these conditions is full.
filled by the administration of Bella
Kun, which has not only broken the
armistice to which Hungary was
pledged, but is at this moment actu.
ally attacking a friendly and allied
power.
"With this particular aspect of the
question it is for the associated gov.
ernments to deal on their W respon'
sibility. If food and supplies are to
be made available, il the blockade is
to be removed, if economic reconstruc
ton is to be attempted, if peace is to
be settled, it can only be done with q
government which represents the Hun
garian people and not with N that
rests its authority upon terrorism.
The associated powers think it Op
perfume to add that all foreign occupa'
ton of Hungarian territory, as de
fined by the peace conference, will
cease as soon as the terms of the ar
mistice have, in the opinion of the
allied commander-in-chief, been salts
