SPEAKS ON HEAVEN AT WHITE TEMPLE
Dr. J. A. Geissinger spoke yesterday morning upon Heaven, taking for a text Rev. 21:1—"There was no more sea." He said in part;
The Book of Revelation is a book of profound thought as well as of gorgeous imagery. It throws light upon human destiny for the encouragement of men and women standing for truth and righteousness now. John, the author of the book, opens a door in heaven that we may see all life against the background of eternity.
It may be said that the book gives us but glimpses of heaven but they are helpful. We can see that it is a place or joy and fellowship and spiritual satisfaction.
It has seemed to be a smart thing for some persons in these latter days to scoff at the idea of heaven as set forth in this book. It is said that no one cares to run around forever with a crown upon his head. That there is no desire in any heart to be forever twanging upon a harp or waving falms or singing hosannas.
But this type of criticism is not so smart as it may seem to those who indulge in it. It but discloses the dullness of our occidental minds. What does this symbolism mean but that the good life issues in victory and satisfaction instead of defeat and shame?
The text is very suggestive. John was a prisoner on the Isle of Patmos and compelled to work by day in the stone quarry. The text reveals him as looking away from his lonely exile thru the spray and spume of the sea to the city of God on the farther shore.
We do not think of the sea as the ancients did. Commerce looks upon the sea as a highway of trade. The philosopher finds in the sea a symbol of the infinite. The poet hears its multitudinous music. To the scientist it is a realm of life. But to the ancient the sea was enticing, treacherous, unfriendly to man. In John's case all of this feeling of the ancient man was intensified for the sea, thundering forever on the shores of Patmos, but emphasized his lot as a prisoner shut out from all human fellowship.
The seas was to him, first of all, a symbol of the loneliness of life. Man lives in society and yet each individual life was walled in by loneliety.
NEED PERISCOPE TO READ NAMES ON MAP
ELY, Nov., June 20—The legislators of the state of Nevada are considering petitioning the navy department at Washington for the use of a periscope. The explanation is that several years ago someone wished a large piaster profile may of the state of Nevada on the capitol commissioners. It had to be framed before it could be hung. While it was being put up it blocked the whole floor space of the corridor. When the commissioners staged the unveiling event it was realized that the north end of the state was so near heaven that a periscope or some similar instrument is going to be necessary if the legislators wish to read the names of the mountain tops, creeks, valleys, highways and byways.
SUSPECT EX-CONVICT OFFICER'S SLAYER
LOS ANGELES, June 20.—Capture of "Little Phil" Agguin, ex-convict and suspected slayer of Detective Sergeant John Fitzgerald, who was shot and killed when he and other policemen raided a house at 2392 W. Thirtieth-st, is expected within the next 24 hours.
"Little Phil" Agguin, suspected of slaying Fitzgerald, is still in Los Angeles.
This word was given out this morning fat detective headquarters by Sergeant Manuel Leon, who is leading the search for the fugitive.
It was generally conceded that Agguin went into hiding, either in the Mexican colony or in "Little Italy," in both of which places he has many friends.
Here is his description: Weight 150 pounds; height 5 feet 3 inches; eyes, maroon; hair, black; complexion, medium dark brown and sallow; face pitted and rough. If you see this man telephone the police.
Scores of officers armed with shotguns were called in early today from outlying sections, and a dragnet spread over the part of the city where Little Phil is believed to be in hiding.
These facts are based on the reports that Agguin was seen at a small circus in the vicinity of Mateo and Kearney streets at 9 o'clock last night and at a blind pig in the same vicinity.

philosopher finds in the sea a symbol of the infinite. The poet hears its multitudinous music. To the scientist it is a realm of life. But to the ancient sea was enticing, treacherous, unfriendly to man. In John's case all of this feeling of the ancient man was intensified for the sea, thundering forever on the shores of Patmos, but emphasized his lot as a prisoner shut out from all human fellowship.
The seas was to him, first of all, a symbol of the loneliness of life. Man lives in society and yet each individual life is walled in by loneliness. We cannot know each other. We never do fully understand each other. Our craving for human sympathy is but the other side of the fact of our isolation. How often have we laughed at the little fellow who is pictured as going into the garden to eat a wooly worm and two smooth ones because no one loves him. But it was no laughing matter to him. The child, the youth, the mature man and woman, each lives his own life enshrowed in loneliness. Life is one separation after another. At six the little fellow goes off to school. A little later he erects his own roof trees and sets up home making for himself and his interests are not in the past but the future and father and mother go forward into increasing loneliness, while another generation comes on.
Sooner or later we each one stand by an open grave when all that we have loved is let down into the earth and forever buried out of sight. That is life here and now.
Well, John says by and by we shall see that these separations have been but temporary and the things that have separated shall be done away. The sea shall be no more.
The sea was to him a symbol of the hinderances of life. Here we wear the ball and chain. We are all tethered. The genius simply has a longer rope than the rest of us. Idocy is due to some kind of pressure, physical pressure, on the nerves of the brain. But every man has some limitation upon him. The largest sanity has a definite margin. At best we are lucid only for a moment or two at a time. New we see thru a glass darkly. Yet we dream ever of getting free from the things that hinder and hobble us. Man is a creature with eternity in his heart. He dreams of being utterly free from restraint some time. John tells us that the dream will yet come true.
Scores of officers armed with shotguns were called in early today from outlying sections, and a dragnet spread over the part of the city where Little Phil is believed to be in hiding.
These facts are based on reports that Agulin was seen at a small circus in the vicinity of Mateo and Kearney streets at 9 o'clock last night and at a blind pig in the same vicinity.
Police officers believe they are less than half an hour behind Alguin who killed "Fitz" in cold blood, firing point blank at him with a revolver loaded with dumdum bullets.
Sickness, pain, death shall be done away with and life shall be free.
Yet again John looks upon the sea as lawless, as in open rebellion against God. It is to him a symbol of resistance to the will of God.
Does not life seem to be pretty much just that? Amiless wandering on the part of man, blind groping, useless toil, a reign of lust and crime? John had seen the pure and good trampled under foot and the beast in man stalking over the earth. But he sees a time coming when all of these forces of evil shall be conquered and the will of God shall be done. All the seers have looked forward to the time when evil shall be subdued and righteousness shall reign.
What are the deepest joys of earth? Are they not the joy that comes from a comprehension of the truth and a fuller response to that truth? The joy that comes from discernment of the right and a whole-hearted consecration to the right? The joy of holy friendship? The joy that comes from a vision of God and his mercies? And in heaven the things that hinder these experiences shall be removed and we shall come to these blessed experiences. The thundering sea that beats upon these shards of time shall be done away with forces that hinder the soul; it shall be no more and the soul shall be erect and free.
Heaven will mean at least re-union, recognition, fellowship, health, abounding life, blessed exaltations, holy tasks and the clearer vision of God.

'ARDEN' PILGRIMAGE IS GREAT SUCCESS
A new institution for Orange-co was launched auspiciously yesterday beneath the stately oaks of "Arden," the beautiful home where Madame Modjeska spent much of her time between sensisons, when admirers of her talents and achievements mingled with former friends and acquaintances of the noted tragedienne.
As a result of the pilgrimage yesterday, conducted under the auspices of the Catholic Women's Society of Los Angeles and participated in by a large number of people from all faiths of So. Calif., it is probable that next April 23, birthday of William Shakespeare, the stately oaks will again be the mecca for pilgrims when it is planned to stage several acts or a play of the great playwright.
Addresses and reminiscences were given yesterday afternoon by J. E. Pleasantis, Orange-co pioneer, who sold the ranch to Madame Modjeska in 1888; Frederick Warde, great Shakespearean actor who is taking the leading part in the Mission play; Joseph Scott, leading attorney and silver-tongued orator of Los Angeles; Mark Fenton, state manager and actor with the madame, now a movie producer at Hollywood, and others.
WILL BARE PAST TO HELP PEGGY, CLAIM
CHICAGO, June 20—A new witness known as the "mystery girl" of California, was reported today to be enroute to Chicago to aid Peggy Joyce in her suit for $10,000 monthly alimony and $100,000 counsel fees from J. Stanley Joyce, lumber king.
Charlotte Johnson, who is now Mrs. Frank Gordon of Battle Creek, Mich. is here to testify and defend herself against the efforts of Peggy's lawyers to connect her in an unpleasant way with Joyce's past.
According to Charlotte's friends she was the "nice girl" in Joyces life, but Peggy's attorneys have endeavored to give another impression.
The California girl is declared to have signed a statement revealing her relations with Joyce, which are not of a complimentary character, and is said to be willing to repeat her story on the witness stand.
Hearing of the Joyce case is to be recalled Wednesday. Judge Sabath has indicated he will decide then whether her Peggy is to be brot into court.
