BRYAN'S CHRISTIAN VIEWS EXTOLLED In his address at the White Temple Sunday night, Dr. J. A. Geissinger said: William Jennings Bryan is not only one of the outstanding political leaders of America, but also one of the foremost Christian evangelists and preachers of the country. His speeches in the interest of temperance and his lecture on The Prince of Peace have made an ineffable mark for good in the life of America. Last year he gave the James Sprunt lectures at Union Theological Seminary in Virginia and these lectures have since been brought out in book form under the title "In His Image." These lectures seek to commend the Christian faith to the people of today and are a wholesome and heartening appeal to faith in God, Christ, immortality and the Bible. Mr. Bryan has a keen sense of the bearing of faith in God on civilization and feels that many men and women connected with our schools are playing fast and loose with this faith. The book is largely constructive and yet in its effect it is an indictment of the school system of today, not because of its secular character, but because of the abuse of its privileges by those engaged to pass on the social inheritance of the race to the oncoming generation. He insists that children from our Christian homes sent to our schools and colleges are told to forget what they have learned from the home, the Sunday school and the Bible and to get the point of view of modern science, which he insists waves God and Christ to one side. He gives instances of what he complains of and backs up his indictment by appealing to Professor Leuba's recent book on "God and Immortality" in which the evidence is given by the direct testimony of teachers that thousands of teachers in our colleges no longer believe either in God or immortality. Unfortunately, Mr. Bryan is not content to rest his indictment upon the specific cases to which he appeals but makes a wholesale attack upon Biblical scholarship and students. He seems to thinks that all scholars are trying to undermine the authority of the Bible and that all evolutionists are atheists. Really the poorest boat on way to naval practice. LOS ANGELES, May 2—Reary for the greatest peace-time battle practice ever planned for Southern California waters, the battleships of the Pacific fleet, accompanied by scores of smaller vessels, steamed out of Los Angeles harbor today for practice grounds midway between Los Angeles and San Diego. At the same time a great air fleet and a squadron of destroyers, together with three mine sweepers and other craft, let Sfan Diego for the scene of the scheduled mimic battle with an imaginary enemy. AGREE ON BONUS BILL IN SENATE WASHINGTON, May 2—Senate finance committee Republicans today tentatively agreed on a soldier bonus bill. They will submit the plan to President Harding probably late today. As tentatively framed, the plan is a modification of the bill passed by the house. It provides for paying the bonus by means of 20-year certificates, which are to have a loan value of 50 per cent of their face value immediately. In three years this value will increase to 80 per cent. In six years the certificates are to increase 25 per cent in value, and at that time the loan value will be 75 per cent of the new face value. At the end of 20 years the holder of the certificates can take the money due him either in cash or in annuities. The bill includes the vocational training and home farm aid options of the bonus bill. It eliminates the reclamation plan. ATTORNEY OPENS OFFICE Atty. E. O. Mathis has opened an office in connection with the reality office of Eygabroad & Fisher at 242 W. Center-st. He is an uncle of Perry Mathis. DRAWS CREAM FROM MILK Any amount of cream desired can be drawn from the top of the milk in a new dispensing urn for restaur- But Mr. Bryan has done a real service to educators and to the country at large in calling attention to the importance of the spiritual life of man and warning against those who seem to have no appreciation of it. Already churches and various organizations interested in the oncoming youth are asking pertinent questions as to what these youths are being taught in the name of society. Without question our teachers as a class are doing an important piece of work in a painstaking and competent manner, most conscientiously and with a full sense of the importance of the spiritual nature of man and his great faiths. Too much appreciation cannot be shown them great servants of society who labor for small stipends and for the most part in obscurity. For one I think Mr. Bryan has not been careful enough to recognize these facts. But without question it is matter for alarm when we think that so many teachers cooly state that they no longer have faith in God, as Leuba's report represents many of them as doing. Clearly such teachers cannot pass on the spiritual in hertance unimpaired. Instead of assuming themselves to be superior because of their lack of faith, they ought to recognize that they have suffered loss and that they should seek to make their living in some other way than by corruping the youth of the nation. If they do not recognize this condition then the communities where they labor should take a hand in the matter.

Travers and family were given a farewell party by Olinda friends, Thursday eve, April 27, at the M. E. church. This was only a farewell from Olinda, not a farewell from the county, as they will reside on their ranch near Placentia. Mr. Travers has resided in Olinda almost 20 years and like home to him. Mrs. Travers has resided here five and a half years and has endeared herself to nearly every one in the community, especially neighbors and members of the M. E. church. Marjorie and William have known no other home and they find it somewhat sad to think of leaving. It is not surprising that we will miss them all very much and that we should want to do something to show them how much we love them.

The employees of the Olinda Land Co. and their wives surprised Mr. W. J. Travers by gathering for a farewell at his home Monday evening. He was presented with a leather rocking chair as a remembrance from the men. Travers served them punch and after singing a few old time songs and good night ladies, all bid the Travers another good night. They will DOCTOR FAILS TO IDENTIFY SUSPECT DANVILLE, Ill., May 2—The only clew which officials believed would lead to the solution of the mysterious murder of Gertrude Hanna blew up today. An itinerant doctor had told Sheriff Charles Knox that six weeks ago he was approached by a man representing himself as "John S. Hanna," who requested him to perfrom an illegal operation on his daughter Gertrude. The doctor was brought face to face with Hanna, father of the slain girl, and John Wyman, confessed betrayer of the girl here today. He said neither Hanna nor Wyman made the proposal.
