SHOULD BE HOPEFUL AND NOT CAST DOWN Dr. James Allen Geissinger spoke yesterday morning at the White Temple upon the subject: "The Angel Awaked Me," taking for his text Luke 1:79. In the beginning of his sermon he said that his subject had been suggested to him by a passage in the prophecy of Zacahriah 5:1, where the prophet says the angel of the Lord awakened me. He said that instantly he then began to think of what was going on in the world at the present time and was forced to conclude from a study of the facts, that the light of new day was breaking over the sky of our human world and that men ought to be hopeful and not cast down. "Religion is an awakening, a fellowship and a consecration. When a man gets religion he comes to an awakening about sin, himself, his duty, his destiny and his God. But he also enters into a new relationship with God. Enoch walked with God. Abraham was the friend of God. Jesus said: "Ye are no longer servants but friends." We catch step with God and then we go out to be Gou-like. Religion always issues in action. "So send I you." "Be ye deers of the word and not hearers only." "If religion is an awakening, then may we not say that we are in the midst of a great revival of religion at the present time? What Zacharias saw in his day we see yet more clearly: the Dayspring from on high hath visited us, is visiting us, is shining upon us and giving us light and pointing out the way of peace. A great change is coming over thought. For a whole generation we have suffered from false opinions and a misleading education. We have had it dinned into our ears that Christianity represents an individual and social ideal absolutely impossible of realization. We have had the gospel amended and improved away until scarcely anything characteristic of Christianity has been left. We have had a hog philosophy prescribed to us. There is the hog we have been told, what can you expect of men. You see him Yesterday when the "Orange Special of the Sheesley Shows pulled into town, bringing with them 25 cars of "mirth and youthful joyity" to be the feature of the Good Times celebration of the American Legion, they brot an attraction that will linger in the memories of the visitors long after the celebration has ceased to be and that is the unique and For a whole generation we have suffered from false opinions and misleading education. We have had it dinned into our cars that Christianity represents an individual and social ideal absolutely impossible of realization. We have had the gospel amended and improved away until scarcely anything characteristic of Christianity has been left. We have had a hog philosophy preached to us. There is the hog we have been told, what can you expect of men. You see him run for his trough. It is just so with human nature. Man is incurably selfish. But I have never known a hog to build a church. I have never known a hog to be ashamed of living in the mire. That is hog nature but not human nature. We have been told that natural history reveals that all progress has been by the strong preying upon the week. But the truth is that natural history reveals progress to be by a better adaptation to environment. It never shows us strong lions preying upon weaker lions and it shows us no parallels to our modern inhuman warfare. Progress has always been by some Moses going down into the brick-fields to save his weaker brethren. Some Lincoln stooping down to remove the shackles from the feet of slaves. We have been taught that the will to power is the way to the finer civilization. We know now that that is the way to the shambles. "We are just beginning to wake up to a perception of the truth that Jesus has the way of life and we would do better to follow him. We are deeply conscious of the vulgarity and recklessness of life at the present moment. But why are we conscious of it? He is giving us light for our seeing. We are conscious of the struggle going on in the industrial world, out why? He sets his example over against our practice and shames us. What is going on in the world today is an increasing use of the Golden Rule in business. Men are finding that actually works. So in the international world, President Harding's speech, opening the Disarmament Conference, but eleven minutes long, is the voice of the new day. We must indeed all sacrifice together and all of us must practice forbearance and good will. "Then the church is undergoing a revival. It is no longer so uncertain of itself. Preachers are recovering the note of authority and are speaking as God gives them to speak. The church as never before has its eye on the horizon and is seeking to make a Christian conquest of the world and to overcome all evil with good." "Christianity is practical. Brotherhood is possible. Service is the law of progress. These great truths shine out with the light of God upon them." "But Christ is calling to each of us this morning after the same manner. His light falls upon your life and mine. Without him think of the darkness of heathenism. It is even so in the individual heart and life." Yesterday when the "Orange Special of the Sheesley Shows pulled into town, bringing with them 25 cars of "mirth and youthful joy" to be the feature of the Good Times celebration of the American Legion, they brot an attraction that will linger in the memories of the visitors long after the celebration has ceased to be and that is the unique and novel show, "Jounteel Girls." Miss Bobby Burns Murray, the vivacious producer of the "League of Nations," one of the feature attractions with the Greater Sheesley Shows., is auburn haired and for this reason every girl in Anaheim with red hair will be admitted free to her show, the Jounteel Girls," by only paying the war tax. When in pinafores she was known to her school chunns as "Carrots," and she asserts that this "Monicker" came from the fact that she had and still has the reddest of red hair. According to historians Cleopatra had red hair and just look what she did to the Roman empire. But Bobby asserts that she has no idea of changing the affairs of the state of California, or any other locality, but is with the Sheesley Shows with the sole idea of entertaining the patrons of the Carnival. As it happens to be her birthday she is holding open house to those fortunate ones who have titan tresses. The Promised land of the news boys will be reached tonight as guests of the Sheesley Shows. They will be taken to the grounds and escorted thru all the attractions as guests of Mr. Sheesley. Grammar School Notes The Junior High school has established a new room which is called opportunity room. In other words, it gives the pupils over 15 years of age a chance to make up their work in which they are behind. Owing to the crowded conditions in the rooms the pupils do not always get the individual attention needed. As some of the older children are a little behind in their work, this will give them an opportunity to make their grade the same as others. This class includes mostly pupils of the seventh and eighth grades H. B. Ploff, a former teacher in one of the Michigan high schools, has been secured to take charge of the classes. He will also assist in the athletic work. Harold Mann, one of the most brilliant boys in the eighth A class, had the misfortune to break his left arm Thursday afternoon while engaged in a baseball game. The arm was set and he is now able to resume his duties in his classes.

Walker, spoke Sunday evening on "Samson; Hero or Slave?" saying in part: "What caused the tragedy in this young man's life? He began life rich in blessings and opportunities. He was the son of good parents, who had kept their bodies and souls so as to bring forth a child so wonderfully endowed. He was dedicated from infancy to a life of purity, temperance and godliness. "He was one boy in a thousand physically—rugged, and handsome, of vast strength and daring, witty and sanguine, radiant with health; he gave promise of becoming a popular hero and the deliverer of Israel from the Philistian yoke. He killed a lion with his bare hands and held his tongue about it, even to his father and mother. Yet we are doomed to the sorriest disappointment. He contracts a foolish marriage, disregards the advice of his parents, links himself with the daughter of the nation's enemies and yields to the lure of a pretty face. "He soon had no more morals than a tiger; slays from motives of personal vengeance; lack self-control and judgment; has no high ambitions, and at last yields—the secret of his prodigious strength to a heartless woman because he is tired of her teasing. "The next moment his strength is gone; his enemies have seared out his eyes with hot irons and he is chained to the mills to grind for his enemies. His death in the temple of Dagon is dramatic but it is not noble. There he lies, crushed, a miserable human failure; a man who ruined his opportunities. His name means 'unlike,' but he went out in utter darkness. "What was the matter? The answer is very plain. He made three great mistakes: all foolish and costly. He thought liberty meant the same as license. He was the Israeli incarnation of the Niechian superman; his one-law to love himself. He had a rollicking time for a while and then he paid. It is hard for us" The Village Gossip Have you a little fairy in your home? If you have none and would accept one, then see Baby Lucile. Lucile, whose age is 2, is the tiny ruler of the county orphanage. Her sunny smile subjugated all upon whom it is lavished. And that means everyone, for Lucille always smiles and never cries, not even when tucked away, all alone, in a strange bed at night. That smile, and sunny disposition, which have made slaves of all around her, will it is assured, find a home for the little waif. But it must be a good home, say the authorities, to be worthy of Lucile. They are going to see to that as soon as they straighten out the parental affairs of the tot. Those affairs constitute a mystery. Both the father and mother abandoned Lucile. The father is believed to be in Los Angeles and the mother, who has not bothered to visit Lucile for several months, is thought to be in Huntington Beach. The mystery is that they would get along without Lucile. Prospective foster parents who may decide to visit Lucile are warned to have a place in their home ready for her. They'll not be able to resist that smile, which takes no account of strangers. the law and not get caught; could yield to unbridled fancy and not offer the penalty. The uncapable effect of wrong-doing is the rotting of the moral fibre. See what Samson lost: His bodily powers undermined, the beautiful joys of home and wife and little children; the possibilities of a noble national career; the boundless rewards of God's benediction—he was not a hero, he was a traitor and a slave." REPAIR PRICE SCHEDULE AUTO HITS FLOAT; PARADERS INJURED OLINDA LEASE, Nov. 14.—(Spl.)

Lois was taken sick on Monday after being in bathing on Sunday and died Thursday night at 11 o'clock with diphtheria. It was not known until after her death that she had diphtheria. They were unable to have a public funeral but her body was brot to Fullerton. At 2:00 o'clock Saturday a private funeral was held at Loma Vista.

Misses Gladys and Sadie Viets were Anaheim visitors Saturday afternoon. Miss Hattle Conn went to Los Angeles with the Junior College Girls to the mills to grind for his enemies. His death in the temple of Dagon is dramatic but it is not noble. There he lies, crushed, a miserable human failure; a man who ruined his opportunities. His name means "unlike," but he went out in utter darkness. “What was the matter? The answer is very plain. He made three great mistakes, all foolish, and costly. He thought liberty meant the same as license. He was the Israeli-incarnation of the Niechian superman; his one law to love himself. He had a rollicking time for a while and then he paid. It is hard for us even today to learn that liberty is bought with obedience. His second great mistake was in thinking that success could be bought without work. The world was a huge playground and life a great joke. How did he make his living? farming? or was he an official of some sort? or just a plain "hobo?" Certain he never worked wisely nor persistently and with high aim. When temptation came he had no disciplined character with which to meet it and fell utterly. “His third mistake was in thinking that sin did not necessarily entail suffering.
