SAYS CLEST CAME TO MAKE SAINTS OUT OF EVERYONE Dr. J. A. Geirsingar Preached Sunday on Text: "You Are Called to be Saints" Dr. J. A. Geirsinger preached at the Methodist White Temple Sunday morning on "The Saints" using the text, Romans 1:27 — "Called to be Saints." He laid in part: "I have pointed out to you already that the Christian is one who has come into a new and quickening relation with Jesus Christ. I pointed our last Sunday morning that the Christian differs from the merely moral man not simply in that he has a more exegetical ideal and in that he presses towards the realization of that ideal more determinedly but in that he has bestowed upon him a Formal Opening of New Home of Alexander Motor Co. will be on Wednesday The formal opening of the new home of the Alexander Motor Car Co., one of the largest garages and finest automobile sales rooms in Orange county, Wednesday, June 1, will be marked by the introduction of the packard line for the entire county. This firm will also distribute the Reo automotive products in the northern section. The Packard and Reo cars are recognized as the best in the automobile market and the description of their mechanical construction and features of service and durability requires adjectives of the superlative degree. The executive and sales organization of the Alexander Motor Car Co. is in keeping with the high grade cars for which the firm is the distributor, and the names of each individual will be recognized as among the "who's who" in the motor car industry. W. E. Alexander Jr., heads the organization as president. During that period when many dealers found difficulty in securing cars, because of his rapid fire action and the ability to deliver the goods, Alexander won the name of "Immediate Delivery Alexander" and he still answers "present" when the call of "Immediate Delivery" is sounded. It was under his supervision... the Methodist White Temple Sunday morning on "The Saints," using the text Romans 1:27 — "Called to be Saints." He said in part: "I have pointed out to you already that the Christian is one who has come into a new old quickening relation with Jesus Christ. I pointed out last Sunday morning that the Christian differs from the merely moral man not simply in that he has a more exacting ideal and in that he praises towards the realization of that ideal more determinly but in that he has bestowed upon him a new power. I would like to make clear this that power is a transfiguring and glorifying power. "Christ came into the world to make saints out of all of us. Paul was speaking to men and women who had been living in the depths. They had come up out of the prisons, the darkness, the crime of that hard Roman world. They were men and women with bad heredities. They had long been held by base habits. They had been libertines. They had been murderers. He says to them: 'You are called by Jesus Christ to be saints, to become saints.'" "What is it to be a saint? What is a saint like? We know what a soldier is like. If it were said that Jesus calls us to be soldiers we would think of Caesar and Napoleon and other great captains. We know what the philosopher is like and the business man is like—but the saints? "Sainte-Beuve has said in the saint we have love and humanity and infinite confidence in God linked with a severity for self on one side and tenderness for others on the other side." "Victor Huko has given us a life sized portrait of the saint in Les Miserables in the person of the Bishop of D—Bishop Myriel fulfills the ideal of the saint very well. He lived simply, cultivating his garden, meditating under the stars, caring for the sick and the unhappy and sharing all that he had with those who tacked. At the same time he had a like passion for truth and right and lived for the redemption of all lie could influence. His purchase of Jean Valjean from despair and evil is one of the most sublime incidents in the field of fiction and it is impressive in the field of fiction just because in daily life the miracle of Jean Valjean occurs again and again. "The New Testament gives us many portraits and stories of this kind and shows clearly that all saints are not alike. There are saints and saints. There is Peter leaving his fishing nets and going out to save for men, crushed head-downwards. There is Paul preaching up and down the world and battling against false theology as well as against all other kinds of evils, until at last the headman has done his work and Paul's body lies prown on the ground. There is Stephen dying in an astray hath but farless in his proclamation of the truth. But not all the saints are kept in keeping with the high grade cars for which the firm is the distributor, and the names of each individual will be recognized as among the "who's who" in the motor car industry. W. E. Alexander Jr., heads the organization as president. During that period when many dealers found difficulty in securing cars, because of his rapid fire action and the ability to deliver the goods, Alexander won the name of "Immediate Delivery Aleander" and he still answers "present" when the call of "Immediate Delivery" is sounded. It was under his supervision that the monster new garage was planned and constructed. R. Philip Le Feber, vice president, has been identified in the selling of high grade cars for the past twelve years. He was at one time manager for the Packard in Tacoma, Wash., at another, manager for the Winton in Vancouver. He hauls to Anaheim from Los Angeles after 18 months' service with the Marmon In that city. Mr. Le Feber has always sold high grade cars and it is safe to say that it will not be many days before there will be several Orange-co motorists behind the wheels of Packard and Reos. He will also serve in the capacity of sales manager and it was through him that the new staff was assembled. Coming here from the Earle C. Anthony organization of Los Angeles, Harry L. Zeigler will take charge of the Reo passenger cars and the used car department. Mr. Zeigler is familiar with every angle of the selling game, having previously served two years with the Marmon dealers before accepting a position with the Anthony firm. He is thorny familiar with the conditions in Orange-co, having been the whole sale representative for the Reo distributors in this territory. Reo speedwagons will have a representative all their own in the person of P. C. Marshall, late of the freight transportation department of Earle C. Anthony. Mr. Marshall has been handling this Reo product for the past three years and he represents a complete atlas when it comes to information regarding transportation problems. He has made a complete study of difficulties in this line which confront the business man and ranchers in this section and on Wednesday, at the opening, he will lecture on this subject and explain just how the Reo speedwagon can be put to use. One of the interesting items in the arrangement of the garage is the fact that a complete service to motorists is offered under the same roof. The storage department embraces 15,000 square feet and is accessible by two large entrances which eliminate the necessity of turning around or backing out. Improved wash racks, shops and an oil and gasoline station are also located in the garage. There is not a post in the entire floor and stalls are separated by concrete sides. ANAHEIM HONORS Pres. Wm.

There is Paul preaching up and down the world and battling against false theology as well as against all other kinds of evil, until at last the headman has done his work and Paul's body lies prown on the ground. There is Stephen dying in an ecstasy of faith but fearless in his proclamation of the truth. But not all the saints were martyrs. There is Barnabas who gave his lands for the advancement of the kingdom and Dorcas who consecrated her needle and John who dipped his pen in sunset glories after day's work in the stone quarries and painted his immortal pictures to encourage the other saints who had faltered and fallen by the way. And there have been saints all down the years. Men like Luther and Wesley and Francis of Assisi and General Booth and Chinese Gordon and Abraham Linnegel and Charles Kingsley and hosts of others that history does not even preserve the names of. Do not imagine that saints are to be thought of in terms of closets and cells and flaggelations and that they must perform some miracles. The saint is anyone who has faith in God and who has learned to walk comfortably with Him in the spirit of a childlike trustfulness; whose devotion to Christ is the bread that he has to eat; whose like is made beautiful and memorable by goodness and kindness and who is overpressing upward towards high-attainments. They are the humble of the humble and the bravest of the brave and the most loving and teneth roof all. They may be rich in this world’s goods or they may not, but they certainly are rich towards God. They may be men of vast achievement or with little such capacity but their lives are hidden with Christ’s in God. Their confidence is in the atonement Christ has made for their sins. He is the companion of their way, and in his spirit they live out of all of their days doing good to all men as they have (Continued on next page) ANAHEIM HONORS HEROES OF NATION There was a good attendance yesterday at the memorial day services at the Anaheim Cemetery under the auspices of the local post of the American Legion; and the Malvern Hill Camp of the G.

Siemann, of the First National bank, has a number of blanks for application to the Citizens' military training camp at the Presidio, San Francisco, July 6 to August 5. He will be glad to assist any local young men in filling out the application forms. The camp will afford a pleasant outing for young men, Siemann believes, as well as giving them invaluable training. Previous service is not necessary. In fact, it is desired that those without service apply in order to have a larger number with some knowledge of military training. MILITARY TRAINING CAMP AT PRESIDIO C. of C. has received a letter from the headquarters of the 9th corps area on the subject of citizens' military training camps for approximately 1200 students, to be conducted at the Presidio, San Francisco, for 30 days, beginning July 6.

The War Dept. provides transportation to camp and besides board, lodging, medical attention, uniforms, equipment, arms and ammunition, laundry, athletic recreation. SANTA FE TRAIN HITS TAXI DRIVER "Heinle" Boeschling, taxi driver, narrowly escaped death Sunday morning about 2 o'clock when his car was struck by a Santa Fe train at the Spadra-st crossing in Fullerton. The auto was almost irretriovably damaged, but Heinle escaped uninjured. Fortunately there were no passengers in the auto at the time. J. W. Martin, of San Diego, who was crossing the tracks at the same time, was also struck, and his auto damaged. He was uninjured. The accident happened when they started to cross the tracks, while the bars were up, and there was no bell ringer to warn of the approach of a freight train. Had the train been going Inst Heinle would doubtless have been killed, but fortunately it was running slowly. The damage was covered by insurance. A passenger train had just crossed the crossing, and drawn up at the station. HITS LAMP POST AND DAMAGES CAR H. J.

Ensenada, a prosperous, clean-looking town of about 3000 population, is 104 miles below Tia Juanna. The party left Ensenada at 8:30 a.m., yesterday, making the 230 miles back in 12 hours. They were delighted with the way the people, particularly the business men and officials, greeted American visitors. They met the mayor and chief of police and were welcomed by the band. They found American money in wide use and the American language readily understood everywhere. A fine meal costs but 50c and a bed the same. The country about Ensenada is wonderfully prosperous, affording fine opportunities for agriculture. The Anahelmers laughed at queries about reported uprisings, stating everybody was most peaceful and cordial. The road below the border is fair. A fine, macadamized road along the coast will be finished in September. SUNDARY SCHOOLS PICNIC The Sunday schools of the Christian church of both Anaheim and Brea had a most delightful picnic at Orange-co park Saturday afternoon. Almost 230 children were present of which 100 were from Brea and 130 from Anaheim. The day was spent in games and races and lunching. The boys' baseball game was a tie but the Anaheim girls won from Brea by a score of 9 to 3. Anaheim was also in the lead in most of the races, but Brea won in the tug of war. Mr. Hill of the Christian church of Orange gave an address on Sunday school work and Rev. Spicer of Brea acknowledged that Anaheim won in the contest. PRINCES ADD 3RD STORE TO CHAIN The Prince Store has another of their chain of high class establishments, and George Prince and wife left this morning for Van Nuys to take charge of the new place. The store bought at Van Nuys is an old established one, formerly owned by a Mrs. Devilt, known as the Emporium, carrying the lines of dry goods, ladies ready to wear, and shoes and other lady accessories. This makes three stores now in the chain: one at Almogerde with Charles F. Prince in charge; the one at Van Nuys and the store at Anaheim with S. E. Prince in charge. The only bad news of the announcement is the loss of George Prince. The Princes came to Anaheim some 15 months ago and opened for business.

If Elk teams yet to be met offer no more opposition than those Anaheim has already met, it's a dead open and shut clinch that Anaheim is going to grab the pennant of the Elks state league this fall. Long Beach was substituted for William Russell's All-Stars at the last minute the movie men, because of the fact they had been housed up so long on account of rainy weather, being ordered to report on location Sunday. The seasiders got away to a bad start, making four errors in the first frame which were sufficient with a walk and two hits to give Anaheim five runs. In the seventh, ten Anaheim men batted, scoring seven runs on five hits, a sacrifice fly and two errors. In all, Long Beach permitted 12 errors. Hughes started off like a whirlwind in the box, permitting no hits and striking out six in the first three innings. However, it was early evident that no such exertion was necessary to give Anaheim the game by a safe margin and he contented himself by striking out a total of 12 men and permitting nine hits. Welleman struck out four and walked four. Hughes walked three.
