DAILY GREETING TO OUR READERS O grant me, it never a middle state, Neither too humble, nor too great; More than enough for nature's ends, With something left to treat my friends—Mallet. MAKE TOURIST SEASON ALL-YEAR ROUND Southern California's all-year round geniality of climate is being impressed, this summer, in tangible way. The hundreds of visitors to the Elks' grand lodge meeting, in Los Angeles, were delighted with the weather conditions here, particularly the cool nights. Notwithstanding the hotness there were a few days of excessive heat for this section, the visitors found climatic conditions very pleasing indeed compared with the gizzling sultriness from which they came, "back yonder." These welcome guests are going back home enthusiastic boosters for the summer climate of Southern California. The greater number of visitors this section draws in summer, the wider and the more effective will be the promotion it will get as an ideal summer, as well as winter resort. FRANKNESS ON SHIPPING IS TO BE RULE President Harding and Chairman Lasker, of the Shipping Board, are agreed that the policy of "absolute frankness" toward the public with reference to Shipping Board affairs shall prevail. To this end, Mr. Lasker a few days ago gave his startling statement, accompanied by figures which are near staggering to the public. This course is altogether proper and commendable. If there has been mismanagement, let the people know about it. Government business is the people's business. They have every right to know about it. Furthermore, they should have assurance not only that past blunders will be made known, but that they will be corrected, and not continued and compounded. The people not only are interested in knowing of past mismanagement but they are concerned as to the quality of present management. They want the best managing that is possible to be had. A great many spend a week on vacation and then come back to spend two weeks resting up. Americanizing is a work of the heart. He or she who does not truly love America cannot be a good American. If there were no carelessness with fire fires losses would be reduced in this country by tens of millions of dollars annually. Money has been flowing through the channel of Shipping Board affairs like water through a sieve. The tax-bayers want that sleeve dammed. As a condition precedent to disarmament of nations; there must be a disarmament of suspicions, hatreds, and jealousies among countries and peoples. If Adam and Eve had not eaten of the forbidden fruit, doubtless some of their descendants would have done so. Satisfying curiosity and doing the forbidden thing are rampant impulses of human nature. Should General Dawes make the budget system the signal success which it promises to be, he will become a formidable political figure—although the budget administration should not be mixed up in politics. There is no one time of year above another where tourists may come to California in greater comfort. In summer as well as in winter, climatic conditions are mild, for the most part. Bid them come any and all seasons. To make the world war less the fruitful causes of covetousness, envy and bitterness among nations must be removed or minimized. Poor old weak and erring human nature must be reckoned with, in these international matters. The Pilgrims brought no wealth of gold and precious stones to New England. But they brought that which is of far greater value to this nation—the brought quickened, developed conscience, and devotion to principles of truth and righteousness.

The people not only are interested in knowing of past mismanagement but they are concerned as to the quality of present management. They want the best managing that is possible to be had. The glory and grandeur of this Nation do not lie in formidable armadas or invincible armies; but in the integrity of its people, and in its standards of righteousness and justice, in domestic affairs and in foreign relations. The homely old maxim ran this way: "Do not count your chickens before they are hatched." It is well not to count the blessings from the forthcoming disarmament conference until said blessings are incubated. To expect too much would be to breed disappointment. PRESBY. AID WILL HOLD MTG. THURS. (Presbyterian Church News) The regular monthly meeting of the Ladies Aid of the Presbyterian church will be held in the Sunday school room of the church next Thursday afternoon at two o'clock. A very cordial invitation is extended to all ladies of the church and congregation. On Wednesday evening, at 7:30 is the time for the regular praise and prayer meeting. We enjoyed a very blessed hour last week and are looking forward to the meeting this week. Rev. Walker asks all members to remember this meeting and make no other engagements for 7:30 on Wednesdays. Let this be the trysting time with God. Altho the vacation time is telling some upon the regular attendance of the Sabbath school, it gave us considerable pleasure to note 15 pupils who have learned their golden texts perfectly for four consecutive Sundays. Their names follow: Sarah Fay, Vern Backs, Louise Bremer, Margur-Vern Backs, Louise Bremer, Marguer-Beebe, Alna Callor, Ellen Gibbs, Josephine Cook, Eleanor Tipton, Bernice Bremer, Edwin Beebe, Margaret Hartranft, Louise Kruslinga and Sarah McElhany. We missed Supt. Gibbs and his family very much as they have gone to Oakland to attend the meeting of Synod. During his absence Mr. Arthur Coons and Miss Parker will endeavor to look after the work. We are sorry that Miss Enita Herzler is ill and thus unable to be in her acustomed place. Mrs. Archbald's and Mrs. Curtis whom shall we go? Thou hast the words of eternal life." Altho there are those who are inclined to treat the things of the Kingdom and the Diety of Christ in a flippant manner, yet the whole world recognizes the changes wrot by his advent into the world. One example of this is our mode of reckoning time the world over. No one need to think long whether this is 1921 B. C. or A. D. So great were the changes wrot by his coming among us that even the reckoning of time was thus changed. Let us remember there is no problem needing a solution but Jesus has an answer; no burden that he cannot lift; no thought affecting your relationships in life but Christ can solve all if you are willing to come under his tutalage. In our daily contact with people a necessary factor in pressing some matters is authority. So it is in the religious world. It takes one in authority to delineate the powers and attributes of God; to impress upon our minds what our duty may be; to raise the veil that has obscured the future. He who has a leader who can speak authoritatively about these things and lead on surely and positively can hold up his head in any community and likewise speak with authority. Jesus Christ is that leader. He not only is a great leader but He is the greatest authority on God and His methods of dealing with men. With Him as leader and teacher we need not run after philosophers, astronomers, nor even theologians who are frequently mistaken, but can simply take Him at His word and proceed with authority. Jesus, in his teachings, did not give things a new guilding but a new rooting. He did not approach to make the world wariness the fruitful causes of covetousness, envy and bitterness among nations must be removed or minimized. Poor old weak and erring human nature must be reckoned with, in these international matters. The Pilgrims brought no wealth of gold and precious stones to New England. But they brought that which is of far greater value to this nation—they brought quickened, developed conscience, and devotion to principles of truth and righteousness. There is one crusty old bachelor who holds that the word "woman" should be spent woe-man, with accent on the first syllable. But who cares what a crusty old bachelor says or thinks. Doesn't he come periously near being one of "creation's blanks" anyway? Any nation invited to the disarmament and Pacific problems conference which falls to enter wholesheartedly into the historic deliberations, will put itself under suspicion of harboring utterior motives dangerous to the peace of the world. From present indications none of the invited countries will hold aloof. You owe all one who will blind alley busi-ness?

We are sorry that Miss Enita Hertzler is ill and unable to be in her acustomed place. Mrs. Archibald's and Mrs. Curtis' classes were in the hands of substitutes since they are enjoying a short vacation. We are glad to have Mr. and Mrs. Renner, Russel Renner, Mr. and Mrs. Falconer, Mrs. Louise Northam, Mrs. Coons, Arthur and Rector Coons and Mrs. Jessie Coons with us again and are glad they enjoyed restful vacations. We were pleased to see a familiar face in the person of Mrs. Bell, who will be remembered as Miss Alma Yoern. Together with her family she has returned to Anaheim to live and is with her mother on East Broadway. We are always glad to welcome people back and count them one with us again. The junior sermon preceding the regular morning service was enjoyed by the grown folks as well as the children Rev. Walker gave a very forceful talk on "The man who could not let go." Parents are again reminded that Rev. Walker would enjoy having your child present at this especial service and all children are cordially invited. The choir favored us with two especially fine selections. The one was in anthem, the other a very beautiful solo by Prof. Askin, entitled "A Grain of Paradise," by Hamilton Porter. The morning lesson Rev. Walbeginn led the sixth chapter of John he chose with the 47th verse. Later then takes 67 and 68 as his text: Will ye al Jesus unto the twelve, Peter answer away? Then Simon shall we go? Thim, Lord, to whom eternal life." Rev. Walker said: "Will ye also a part: Jesus Peter's response, will away?" And response of your heart trust is the well, "To lead on surely and positively can hold up his head in any community and likewise speak with authority. Jesus Christ is that leader. He not only is a great leader but He is the greatest authority on God and His methods of dealing with men. With Him as leader and teacher we need not run after philosophers, astronomers, nor even theologians who are frequently mistaken, but can simply take Him at His word and proceed with authority. Jesus, in his teachings, did not give things a new guilding but a new rooting. He did not approach his hearers with antagonism, criticising their laws and conceptions of God founded so long before; but he took these and amplified them. For example, he spoke of their conception of God as a lawgiver, to which he agreed, but also showed Him to be abounding in mercy. He knew they thot of Him as an angry God, so showed them a tender, compassionate and forgiving God. They thot of God as being far away but he revealed to them a present God—being always near to his child. Your conception of God is a resonant factor in your lift. Your thot of God is a controlling thot. You will rise no higher than your conception of God. Therefore you should carefully study what our authority on God tells us about Him that you may clearly discern all his attributes. I love Christ for the beautiful picture he gave us of God as the father of the prodigal son. Oh, the great love expressed there is wonderful. In your own minds compare the anguish of the father and that of the son; the grief of the father and that of the son, and so on, and then notice how the father meets the erring more than half way when he showed a desire to return. If any of you should chance to meet anything in the emergencies of life that seems to drive the Father away from you just think of this picture. He is always ready and willing to meet you more than half way. That is my God and Jesus has revealed him so. Christ not only serves as our leader but can be regarded as an elder brother. When he came there were 1,600,000 persons in Rome. Of that number 900,000 were slaves whose lives were completely in the hands of their cruel masters and could be THE ORANGE COUNTY PLAIN DEALER, ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA snuffed out at any instant without any more questioning than if you were to kill a dog. The women and children of that day were nothing more than a possession. They were not allowed a part in anything. They were not even counted—only the men were numbered. These conditions have changed. Everything done to alleviate wrongs are the outcome of the teachings of Jesus Christ. When the Spirit of Christ enters hearts a great change takes place. The outlook then is from the height of helpfulness and sacrificial helpfulness. The Christian has no right to close any avenue of helpfulness to anyone no matter what may be the color or race, or condition of sin into which the person may have previously been found. His should be the attitude of loving helpfulness and so litleth. This brings us to the question of duty. Oh, duty is an awful thing sometimes. When we have to do a thing. Then sometimes we get away from the have to a battle and screen ourselves behind the ought to. The greatest virtue among the ancients was strength, endurance, loyalty, and these were the foundation of the ancient patriotism which enabled them to endure untold hardships for their country. Jesus set over against these gentleness, patience, longsuffering, kindness and forgiveness. Oh, this wonderful virtue of forgiveness. Forgiveness is not the flimsy, flabby thing that some would have us think it is. Have you ever thou if it —forgiveness cost a life! It costs us much too. It costs the greatest effort to forgive when we have been wronged. Oftentimes it takes just that in order that we may win a soul for Jesus Christ, that we may win one for nobler, higher manhood. We must learn to look thru the eyes of the blessed Saviour when he regarded his persecutors and said—"Father forgive them for they know not what they do." The Christian should stand in the community for right, justice, equity. This may mean a struggle and you cannot permit yourselves to be annoyed by trifles, nor be burdened with unforgiveness. The soldier in the battle does not give way to the sting of a mosquito or the annoyance of a fly. No, he has his eyes fixed upon the objective and doesn't notice them. Just so the Christian should take it. GEISSINGER LEAVES UPON HIS VACATION Dr. J. A. Geissinger preached for the last time yesterday before going on his vacation. He will not be in his pulpit again until the first Sunday in September. Each Sunday in August some visiting preacher will take his place. Next Sunday Rev. Luther Reynolds of Los Angeles will preach in the morning and in the evening will give an illustrated lecture. Dr. Geissinger took for his text, "I come not to destroy but to fulfill," his subject being, "Carrying On." He said in part: The scribes and priests and ark savers were wonderfully disturbed by the advent of Jesus, more so than the so-called irreligious people. Had he come lecturing on jots or scrubbing temple pots and courts, or repeating familiar shibboleths, or commenting on Moses and the prophets, they could have understood him. But, like Calphas, they that it was easier to do away with him than to meet his ideas. Nothing to them that Jesus brot to the multitude a sense of the eternal, made truth to flourish, gave standing room for right, affirmed the soul and brought all mankind closer to God. They feared he was destroying Moses or retiring Moses because he was giving the witness of his own soul. Jesus tried to reassure them. He told them that he was carrying forward the work of Moses and all the other prophets. What Moses and the prophets had sought to do was to bring them into harmony with one another and with God and tus usher in a better civilization. They sought to liberate men and to moralize life and so did he. "I carry forward their work," said Jesus. This is a fine insight into all history. The superficial student of history sees in the past nothing but a record of the ignorance and blundering of mankind. To him it stands for darkness and superstition and injustice. Then the earth ran red with blood. He sees in it nothing but marching armies, manacles, dungeons, guillotines, licentiousness and nightmare. But this idea does not read the facts. The whole past marks a steady conquest on the part of man, a physical, intellectual and spiritual conquest on others. And yet the defeat and disillusionment of individuals and nations is not the outstanding fact in the life of mankind but rather the revival of hope, the renewal makes it easier for every one else to do right. But this Scripture may be said to be more than a fine insight into history. It is also a right principle for the guidance of our own lives. What is the right attitude for a man to take towards the achievements of the race and the work of the world? Ordinarily men take one of two attitudes towards history and life. There is the radical. He despises the past. He would split all canvases and hammer to fragments the antique marbles of the past. Nothing to him the great books, great paintings, great codes, great creeds of the world. He writes his own decalogue. He takes his hat off in no presence. Nothing of moment ever happened, so this man thinks, until the nurse wiped out his eyes and wrapped him in swaddling clothes. But this is to delimit life and rob it of the inspiration of the past, the inspiration and steadying power. But equally foolish is the attitude of the ultra conservative. To him the past is not so much a fountain at which we are to drink as a post to which we are to stay hitched. If we look at the world at all this brother insists that it must be thrue the eyes of John Calvin or John Wesley or John Bunyan or some other John's. The great thing for this brother is to save the deposit, not to carry forward the work. To remember is to him more important than to originate. This fellow, as Jesus said, is forever building sepulchres for the prophets, that is monuments to the dead prophets, while he stones the living prophets. It is true that as we look backward we see much of failure on the part of individuals and nations. Not a character of the Old Testament or the New Testament, but is marred by some defect, some sin, some limitation, some failure. And it is so of the race as a whole. Evil has left its impress upon the off-spring of man Israel, called of God to be the light-bearer of mankind, is blown to four winds of heaven because of her itch for gold.

E. Nebelung, son of Max Nebelung, will be interested in the following excerpt from the Riverside Press: County Farm Advisor R. E. Nebelung tendered his resignation at the regular meeting of farm bureau directors this morning. He announced that he has accepted a position with the government of the Union of So. Africa in the citricultural work at Pretoria, Transvaal. Mr. Nebelung expressed no little regret at leaving Riverside county, where he said, he had made many valuable friends. Dr. H. S. Gordon, president of the farm bureau, was enthusiastic in his praise of Mr. Nebelung's work as farm advisor. "It is going to be a hard matter," he said, "for Mr. Cocheron and Prof. Smith to find a man who will be so generally liked throughout the county. I have visited every married by some defect, some sin, some limitation, some failure. And it is so of the race as a whole. Evil has left its impress upon the off-spring of man. Israel, called of God to be the lightbearer of mankind, is blown to the four winds of heaven because of her litch for gold. Greece sacrificed her fine intellect on the altars of lust. Rome fell by the very implements she had forged for the destruction of others. And yet the defeat and disillusionment of individuals and nations is not the outstanding fact in the life of mankind but rather the revival of hope, the renewal of the march, spite of aimless wandering in the wilderness, spite of the weariness.

A civilization wherein the humblest soul shall have opportunity for self-realization and wherein each shall have the inspiration of all. This is not a task that can be ended by an act of the next legislature. It is not a task for one generation or two or a dozen but this is the task of mankind. Let us not be discouraged because progress has been so slow and painful. Let us not stand aloof indifferently. For it is ours to carry forward this mighty undertaking.
