XXIV—No. 144 ALTAR CROWDED AT CLOSE OF SERMON AT WHITE TEMPLE Men and Women Seek Deeper Spiritual Experience and Pray for Great Revival in Anaheim. Last night Dr. Geissinger spoke for the second time yesterday at the Methodist White Temple upon Acts 4:33. At the close of the sermon the altar was crowded with men and women seeking a deeper spiritual experience or praying for a great revival in Anaheim. Dr. Geissinger said this morning: "I am greatly encouraged. We have already had a number of conversions. Very many are loyally praying for a revival. It is a common thing now to hear the note of repentance in our meetings. The revival has started already in many cases. In his sermon last night Dr. Geissinger said: "There can be no question as to the profound influence of Jesus upon civilization. He has taught men to believe in the Fatherhood of God, until when anyone thinks of God, it is of Jesus' God. He has taught us to place a high estimate on human life. He has brot life and immortality to light so that, as Washington Gladden has pointed out, the typical modern face differs from the ancient, in that it has the light of hope on it. Someone has said: 'All time has been baptized into the name of Jesus Christ.'" "You can study the influence of Jesus in the great men He has made. Paul, John Peter, Chrysaston, Origen, Athanasius, Agustine, Charlemagne, Bernard, Frances of Assisi, Wesley, NAME COMMITTEE FOR FEDERATION PROJECT Seven men have been appointed as an organization committee for the Orange-co unit of the Better America federation.

He has taught us to place a high estimate on human life. He has brot life and immortality to light so that, as Washington Gladden has pointed out, the typical modern face differs from the ancient, in that it has the light of hope on it. Someone has said: 'All time has been baptized into the name of Jesus Christ.' "You can study the influence of Jesus in the great men He has made, Paul, John Peter, Chrysaston, Origen, Athanasius, Agustine, Charlemagne, Bernard, Frances of Assisi, Wesley, Gladstone, Gen. Boehm, Chinese Gordon, David Livingstone, Beeched and hosts of others. "You can trace His influence in art, music, architecture, literature. The spiritual insight of Dante, the moral values in Shakespeare, the tenderness of Dickens, the redemption note in Victor Hugo, the large outlook of Tennyson, the moral urgency of Browning, the humanitarianism of Tolstoi—these are all gifts of Christ. "Racially His influence is just as mighty. Christianity rejuvenated the civilization of Rome, disciplined the Teutonic hordes later spreading over Roman territory and gave spiritual ideals to the Anglo-Saxon. "But some people who concede these clear facts of history, seem to think that Christianity is waning. On the other hand its influence is more widely extended than ever, and it continues its miraculous course. "Every one of the mightiest men and women today are Christ's men and women. He still writes our poetry and our fiction and paints our greatest pictures and today He is awakening the backward peoples of the Orient. "The greatest movement in western civilization today toward world re-organization and international co-operation. Jesus' influence is supreme in this field. "But, beyond all such considerations, I am here tonight to make the affirmation that, just as in the apostolic age, so in this, where a supernatural gospel is preached a natural result follows. Men are born from above today as then. In those days not all believed. Thousands went on their ways, wagging their heads, smirking, untouched by the Grace of God. But then as now, and now as then, where a man or woman gives Christ welcome to his heart the old wounderful miracle of regeneration is wrought."

Orange County Plain Dale LEADING NEWSPAPER IN NORTHERN ORANGE COUNTY Anaheim, California, Monday, January 17, 1921 FULLERTON DEFEATS OLD TIME RIVALS OF PASADENA BY 2-1 Best Game Yet Witnessed at New Commonwealth Park—Salveson Outshines Lefty Thomas. Fullerton, living up to traditions for ball teams from this part of the country, yesterday afternoon defeated the crack Pasadena ball club by a score of two to one. It was the third victory for the northern Orange-co team over the Crown City athletes as practically the same personnel met each other in the Elks tournament last summer when the Anaheim Elks lodge team won the So. Cal. championship. As usual, Salveson outpitched his league rival, Lefty Thomas, of the Los Angeles Coast leaguers, in the box for Pasadena, was kicked for five safe ones, fanned three, and walked four, while Salveson was hit for six safe ones, fanned ten and walked a quartet.

Carl Sawyer, nationally famed baseball comedian with the Washington Americans, was at second base for the Crown City team and performed his usual antics to great delectation of the fans.

HEAD PURSUES PROWLER BOTHERING DAUGHTER 3 BLOCKS Regrets He Didn't Have His Loaded Revolver As He Came Within 20 Feet. C. L. Head, Anaheim theatre man, gave chase to a prowler attempting to enter his home on No. Philadelphia-st about 7:30 p.m. Saturday, pursuing him for about three blocks. The would-be burglar escaped. Miss Gladys Head returned from a trip with high school mates to Camp Baldy Saturday evening too late to accompany her parents to the Fairland theatre as usual, the car being left for her to follow them a little later. Shortly after Mr. and Mrs. Head reached the theatre the daughter phoned that someone was attempting to break into the house. Mr. Head hastened home, found his daughter all right, and seizing a flashlight hurried out the back door from which a light tapping sound had emenated. In his haste, he neglected to take his revolver, which he always keeps loaded at the house. This he very much regrets, as he was within 20 feet of the prowler when he leaped from behind some shrubbery at the rear of the house. Mr. Head quit the chase after three blocks because his daughter was at home alone. The prowler is described as a short, heavy-set man, wearing slouch hat and dark clothing. The Head home has been entered twice within recent months, a Pearl BUENA PARK ELATED AT SCHOOL PROSPECT Citizens of Buena Park are elated over the prospect of a new school. Following a report on the great need obvious in the Buena Park district, by the grand jury, action is expected to be taken soon to relieve the present crowded situation. Altho the building in use at the present time is old it is kept in good condition, and the greatest difficulty encountered is lack of space. At present, pupils of the eighth grade are forced to meet on the stage of the auditorium for study. There is absolutely no more room in which to place additional pupils, should any desire to attend the school. With such conditions prevailing, the possibility of a new school for the district is a most welcome suggestion to the people of the community.

They did not turn on the lights in the bakery as the street light was considered sufficient. A noise at the rear was attributed to some falling plastering until the door leading in the store was opened by the burglar who fled when he discovered he was not alone. Investigation disclosed that Salveson also made other distinct contributions toward winning his own game, scoring the first run and sending in Hawkins for the other one with a sacrifice fly. Carl Sawyer, nationally famed baseball comedian with the Washington Americans, was at second base for the Crown City team and performed his usual antics to great delectation of the fans. Dunn, Denver Western Leaguer, who has been holding down the third sack for Fullerton since Bobby Meusel went east, continues to look mighty good. Yesterday he was taking nice cuts at the pill, kissing it once for a single and a second for the only double of the game.

CENTRALIA DISTRICT DOESN'T UNDERSTAND Despite the refusal of the citizens of the Centralia district to accept the invitation of the Anaheim Union high school to become a part of the local high school district, it was stated on authoritative sources this morning that those connected with the management of the local school believe it is because the patrons did not thoroughly understand the invitation but mistook it for a graft. It was pointed out that Centralia had nothing to fear since under the state law annexed districts are not liable for the bonded debt. "For more than two years the Anaheim school buses have brot students from the Centralia district to the high school," it was stated "That district has been most loyal to the school and some of the best students we have ever had have come from there.

Mr. Head quit the chase after three blocks because his daughter was at home alone. The prowler is described as a short, heavy-set man, wearing slouch hat and dark clothing. The Head home has been entered twice within recent months, a pearl necklace being taken one time and a new traveling set containing 30 pieces at another. The house was lit up with shades open and the lights were on the auto in front at the time. Mrs. Head stated today she believed the light tapping noise was made to make her daughter believe it was a woman in order to entice her to the door. However Miss Head had always been instructed never to go to the door when her parents were absent. They believe that acting on these instructions prevented a more disagreeable outcome.

CONEY FOR BOOZE THIS TIME MARION, Ohio, Jan. 17.—Twenty-five years ago Gen. Jacob S. Coxey led an army of protest on foot from Massillon, Ohio, to Washington. Today he came alone to Marion by rail to present a protest against the annual collegiate football game played in connection with the Tournament of Roses at that city. This year, thru the fore-sightedness of Secretary Wm. Dunkerley, of the Pasadena body, Anaheim and neighboring Orange-co centers were able to get quite an allotment of these treasured tickets. A letter just received at the local Chamber, indicates that, next year some arrangement will be made whereby those members who wish to attend may get their tickets without "fuss and feathers." Mr. Dunkerley has been sent a list of all the members of the local organization and will see that each is given ample notice before the 1921 game, of the seating arrangements at the new Stadium, which will be ready in time for next year's classic. The Pasadena Chamber has also asked the local organization to bring before its next board meeting the necessity of insistence upon a more economic operation of our state government. It is that that, with all the C.'s of C. working thru representatives dealing directly with their legislators at Sacramento, something may be achieved for the taxpayers in this direction. The idea is to send three representatives to Sacramento, from each assembly district, to insist upon such action. Among the mail received this morning at the local C. of C. is an inquiry from a man who wants to purchase land in Santa Ana canyon, preferably near the center. His name and address will gladly be given to any person having such property listed. Secretary Fraser said. Members and others desiring to keep in touch with the movements of bills in the California legislature are invited to use the Chamber's files of such information, which are received from the C. of C. at Sacramento, some days before their regular publication by the state printer. This service is free. DISCLOSE PLANS OF PEETE PROSECUTION LOS ANGELES, Jan. 17.—Disclosing for the first time the prosecution's theory of the "immediate cause" of the murder of Jacob C.
