Anaheim Is Fastest Growing City This Paper Accepts All Advertising on the Understanding that Its Circulation Equals Any Three Others In This Field. VOL. XXIV—No. 173 ANAHEIM BOY Burglars Get $100 L DEPLORES MOVE TO SECULARIZE SUNDAY IN THIS COUNTRY Dr. J. A. Geissinger at White Temple Issues Warning Against Commercialization of Sabbath. Deploring the sinister influences attempting to institute the continental Sabbath in this country, Dr. J. A. Geissinger at the Methodist White Temple yesterday morning issued a warning against the secularization and commercialization of Sunday, Preaching from Luke 1:17, he said: "The story of Elijah is full of human interest but its deepest meaning is not to be found in the dramatic moment on Mt. Carmel when the grand old man utterly routed the prophets of Baal, 450 strong. Rather, we see the real man as he returns from the desert and his fears and discouragement to resume his great task of saving pure and undeveloped religion from perishing from earth." Frightened Away By Return of Housewife The home of Mrs. Carrie Ford, 303 West Commonwealth-ave, Fullerton, was entered Saturday night about 7 o'clock while Mrs. Ford was away from home and valuables amounting to more than $100 were taken. The burglars would have escaped with two bags full of clothes valued at about $200 but for the timely appearance of Mrs. Ford. They dropped these and escaped thru a back window. Entrance was obtained by cutting the screen of a front window. Mrs. Ford heard them make their getaway but did not see them. The things taken, as reported to Ed Thwing, city marshal of Fullerton, were as follows: a bunch of keys, register No. 821 Farmers and Merchants Bank; one silver chain and pennant; one silver bar pin; a blue-bead necklace; silver ankle bracelet; one army overcoat; one gold scarf pin, with initials carved: "M.

Temple yesterday morning issued a warning against the secularization and commercialization of Sunday. Preaching from Luke 1:17, he said: "The story of Elijah is full of human interest but its deepest meaning is not to be found in the dramatic moment on Mt. Carmel when the grand old man utterly routed the prophets of Baal, 450 strong. Rather, we see the real man as he returns from the desert and his fears and discouragement to resume his great task of saving pure and undeclared religion from perishing from earth. "What is the secret of Elijah's power? We naturally ask that of man who has suffered long and heroically. There is no doubt as to the answer to our question. Elijah had a commanding, a dominating sense of God. The same may be said of our own Washington and Lincoln. "This is our need today. God seems too remote to many of us. We have immensely extended the borders of the natural order until the very vastness of the universe seem to make God unreal or at least remote. We have made such immense material structure overtopping our very imaginations until as we gaze at our achievements and instruments we do not find ourselves thinking of the almightiness of God but of the genius of man. At the same time we have gained a more intimate knowledge of the innumerable hosts of the tribes of men. Think of the millions and millions of human beings swarming upon the earth at the present time. And these facts coupled with the speeding up of life make it difficult for man to find time or inclination for the due consideration of God. "Not only so but the secularization of our American life has gone so far already that certain influences like a swarm of rats, are eating into the very heart of present day spirituality. Not enough the magrush for wealth and the insane scrawl for pleasure and the senseless luxury of the time but some men are today seeking to rob America of the Sabbath day. A bill is now before the legislature of New York state with this end in view and it is said that similar measures are to be pressed in every legislature. The sports and the rough necks and the unscrupulous men back of the moving picture enterprise are giving backing to this Godless movement. They would rob America of the day of worship that the halls of pleasure and trade might be open yet another day. "Let the decent God fearing people be on the alert. Let business men, keen against the menace of bolshevism to property, watch against these spiritual bolshevists who are striking at the very heart of the spiritual life of America. "I do not mean to overlook some of the more wholesome tendencies of today. I am aware of the passion for truth that has given us the modern scientific movement; of the larger realization of the gospel of the beautiful in our day; of the increasing moralization of all life; of the splendid humanitarian underwindow.

NEWS FILM SHOWS SNOW BATH FROLIC One of the novel features this month of the Pathe News Events is the "Anaheim-Klondike Club's annual snow bath, taken in beautiful Icehouse Canyon at Camp Baldy, with the temperature at freezing.

Baldy with the snow-capped mountains in the background. Washington Window At Golden State Bank Quite an interesting window display is being made by the Golden State National Bank this week, commemorating the birthday event of George Washington, which makes it more interesting because Washington was always a staunch exponent of economy and savings. Besides a beautifully framed picture of "the father of his country," there is a hatchet and the cherry tree. In making this display the bank was fortunate in the courtesy of William H. Houts who loaned the bank two aged copies of historical issues of two different papers. One is the "Gazette of the United States," published in New York, and dated "Let the decent, God fearing people be on the alert. Let business men, keen against the menace of bolshevism to property, watch against these spiritual bolshevists who are striking at the very heart of the spiritual life of America. "I do not mean to overlook some of the more wholesome tendencies of today. I am aware of the passion for truth that has given us the modern scientific movement; of the larger realization of the gospel of the beautiful in our day; of the increasing moralization of all life; of the splendid humanitarian undertakings and spirit. I give them full recognition and yet that we lack a quick sense of God; that life therefore tends to become mean and trivial and that it is that for millions today no sane persons who thinks a moment can deny. "Immoralities of the grossest sort are rampant. We are easily satisfied with low moral attainments. There is very little hunger and thirst for righteousness among us; very little keenness to the edge of conscience. Men and women today waste life chasing baubles while pride and vanity were never more brazen. At the same time a fearful lovelessness disfigures all life. We need God. We need to have life lifted in worship. We need to gain the peace and quiet that come by faith in the Most High. "How are we to get the spirit and power that made the life of Ellijah permanently satisfying and great? By prayer. By refusing to have our hearts forever trampled upon by the trivial tasks of the day. Let us pin a white handkerchief on the tip of our tent as that sturdy soldier General Chinese Gordon used to warn all comers that he would ever with God and no intrusion be tolerated. "Let us set ourselves in motion to the right for on that road we shall find God and we shall also find Him in the fellowship of Christ. But find Him we must." BUSH ST LUMBER PILE CALLS OUT FIRE DEPT.

SHOOTS TWICE AT AGENT 17 DIE, MANY HURT IN EASTERN STORM NEW YORK, Feb. 21.—Seventeen dead, scores injured and many others believed lost at sea or missing on land, with traffic and shipping halted and damaged beyond hundreds of thousands of dollars — such is the tragic toll today of the most furious blizzard that has ripped through New York state and New England in 20 years. Deaths of ten persons were ascribed to the ice gale which wrapped New York in a shivering sheet of snow 12 1-2 inches deep. Stiff, stark bodies were found in various parts of the metropolis, cut down by the zero wind as they struggled to seek shelter from the intense cold. Seven deaths were reported from Boston, where the heaviest snowfall since 1898 was wrapped around the city in the teeth of a blizzard of tremendous intensity. Shipping, trolley traffic, steam road transportation and means of communication by telephone and telegraph went down before the storm. Life was at a standstill bent upon but one thing—trying to keep warm. Vessels were driven ashore. A big shipping board steamer went crashing aground off Norton's Point, and frantic S. O. S. calls brought salvage tugs to haul her off. Small craft in the harbor battled destruction for hours during the height of the gale.

The gun-men, two in number, found nothing in his purse but papers and threw it away. They made away with only his stick pin. They were unmasked white men. Heitshausen was coming down the street with his hands in his pockets and whistling. When he came opposite the opening between the J. E. Walter and Co. garage and the Gazette building where some tractors are stored, he was commanded. “Come here, and keep those hands in those pockets, too!” From behind a tractor, Heitshausen beheld two blue barrels staring coldly in the face.

He was AUDITORIUM PACKED AT SALEM REVIVAL Salem Evangelical church enjoyed large attendance at all services yesterday. The Sunday school had a record breaking attendance. The evening evangelistic service drew a full auditorium and Evangelist E. L. Weatherwax preached a heart searching and soul-inspiring sermon on the subject, "The Eyes Opened to See Jesus." The service closed with the largest number of the people present coming to the front of the church and consecrating themselves to the one thing of seeking to help the un-saved to find Christ, the Savior. The church is expecting this week to yield good results in the meeting. There is developing enthusiasm and earnestness among all but especially noted among the young people of the congregation. There will be intense work done by the evangelist during this last week of the meetings evidently from instructions given in the counsel meeting of the workers. He insists on faithful prayer such as God can answer and practical living up to the prayer life so that God can bless then he declares there are not enough devils from hell or enough wicked devices on earth to prevent a revival in which men and women will be saved. The evangelist said: "So many have just so faint an idea of salvation. Oh, brethren, let us prespire in prayer, let us dare to believe all that God says and soon the vision will clear, the atmosphere will be heavenly, the heart will be enlarged with love of God that passeth understanding. And you will view the cross full of awe and wonder; amazed, you will prostrate your soul before the cross of agony and suffering and death, and redemption, and your heart will ache, then you will lift your eyes and see Jesus all radiant and glorious, and hear him say, 'I am He who was dead and am alive forever more.' And you will know Him. "Ah, when you have a personal first hand knowledge of Jesus you can live it and you can tell it to others and they will listen. I would rather know Jesus and be the recipient of His wonderful salvation than to be the absolute possessor of all the wealth of California. Friends, give Jesus a chance in your dissatisfied life."
