FOURTH SERMON ON APOSTLES' CREED
Dr. Geissinger gave yesterday morning at the White Temple the fourth sermon in the series on the Apostles' Creed, speaking upon, "I Believe in the Forgiveness of Sins" His text was Acts 13:18:—"Thra this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sin."
This was Paul's first sermon, and the awful martyrdom of Stephen was still fresh in his mind. In almost the last words he ever wrote he recurs to the same subject: "Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor and injurious; but I obtained mercy. This is the great message of Christianity." One of the watchwords in religious work today is religious education. That is we now hold that we cannot too early bring life under 'Christian discipline.' But forever, in spite of all we can do, sin has its way with the heart and there is ever need of recovering men and reconstituting their lives.
It is one sign among many of the divinity of our Christianity that it inculticates the spirit of forgiveness among men. It is not easy or natural to forgive. It is natural to wreck vengeance, to yield to our feelings of vindictiveness. Something of old Shylock is in every heart to be battler against. Yet we know that when man forgives he is at his best. We see this illustrated in the careers of both Joseph and David. Peter, bothered about arithmetic and not knowing by experience the spirit of forgiveness, asked Jesus if man should be forgiven seven times. Jesus replied; "Seven! Seventy times seven" there is no limit to be set. When we pray, "Forgive us as we forgive," do we really desire to be forgiven as we forgive?
Jesus did more than teach forgiveness. He illustrated it in the supreme agony of his life.
Suppose he had cried out from his cross: "You devils you, you Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Carroll and daughter and Mrs. F. A. Backs, Sr., and daughter, Miss Frances, leave Monday for a two weeks' vacation at Yosemite.
Mr. and Mrs. H. P. Tobin, son and daughter and Mrs. A. Williams have gone to Big Bear for a short vacation.
MBr. and Mrs. Harry E. Scott, Mr. and Mrs. Ross Redfern and Mrs. Goo Varnum drove to Laguna and Arch Beaches yesterday after enjoying a family dinner party at the Scott home. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Lane and children, of Maricopa, made a surprise visit at the Scott home Saturday evening and returned after dinner yesterday.
Mrs. Frank Morris is visiting friends and relatives in Bloomington. Ind., and nearby towns, having arriver there almost two weeks ago.
Word from Mrs. William Cole and son Dick has been received that they are having a very delilhiful trip in Winnipeg, Canada, where they are visiting. They have been gone about five weeks, and plan a long visit.
Miss Lulu Goble of Los Angeles was the week-end guest of her parents Mr. and Mrs. L. Goble. Saturday evening with Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Clark, they visited in Santa Ana.
Little Miss Glenn Nesbit, who has wintered here with her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. F. Glenn, will leave Wednesday for Detroit, Mich., to pass her vacation with her parents in that city. She will probably return to Anaheim in the fall.
Miss Nannie Gambell, of San Diego, returnedhome today after a ten days' visit here with Mrs. N. F. Ballou.
Mr. and Mrs. A. Plegel who live east of Anaheim, plan to leave Thursday where they will embark from Los Angeles to European countries. They plan a trip of three months.

this illustrated in the careers of both Joseph and David, Peter, bothered about arithmetic and not knowing by experience the spirit of forgiveness, asked Jesus if man should be forgiven seven times. Jesus replied, "Seven! Seventy times seven" there is no limit to be set. When we pray, "Forgive us as we forgive" do we really desire to be forgiven as we forgive?
Jesus did more than teach forgiveness. He illustrated it in the supreme agony of his life.
Suppose he had cried out from his cross: "You devils you, you took advantage of me. But you wait. You'll be hanged as high as Human!" That would have been very human but we would have known that he was no Savior for the world where hatreds and animosity must be conquered and eradicated.
But Christianity also promises forgiveness of sin to every penitent heart. God is the great forgiver. Huxley once said: "There is no forgiveness in nature." That is true, possibly, but as some one has replied, it is pointless. It is like saying: "There is no blood in a stone." There is forgiveness in a true mother's heart and many a human has risen to this sublime attainment and shall we believe that man is better than God?
Jesus gives us a true picture of life at its highest in the story of the Father of the prodigal son. He didn't flog the boy when he came home, nor did he slam the door in his face. No, he just forgave him. That is like God. God is like that. That is a picture of the heart of God.
There is just one thing that a sinner can do with sin to master it and that is to repent of it, hate it and turn from it. There is just one thing God can do with sin, to conquer it and save the sinner, and that is to forgive it.
Oh, yes we may punish sin but that does not save. It may deter it is true that society must punish but if society would restore the criminal to citizenship it must do more than punish. It must forgive also.
Forgiveness is the great recreative force in the world. The forgiven man has been touched at greater depths than any other man. If he will not respond to God's forgiving race, nothing else can reach him.
Forgiveness brings the sinner into a new relationship to the whole universe—to himself, to those he has wronged most, to all mankind, to God. It may not right all the evil consequences of sin outweigh say as to that. We can say however, that it gives the sinner a new attitude towards those consequences.
Does some one ask: But how about those the sinner has hurt most? What does forgiveness do for them? Well, that is a hard problem. But keep in mind that leave Wednesday for Detroit, MI., to pass her vacation with her parents in that city. She will probably return to Anaheim in the fall.

Forgiveness brings the sinner in to a new relationship to the whole universe—to himself, to those he has wronged most, to all mankind, to God. It may not right all the evil consequences of sin but we cannot say as to that. We can say however, that it gives the sinner a new attitude towards those consequences.
Does some one ask: But how about those the sinner has hurt most? What does forgiveness do for them? Well, that is a hard problem. But keep in mind that those who were set wrong by the evil of another are not wholly blameless. There was something in them that responded to the appeal of evil. And then, will it not encourage them and arouse them to see a fellow sinner break the coils of sin? Moreover, all of these things are in the hands of God, who but ways of recovering men from the evil of their lives that are beyond our comprehension. We are sure that he will find a way of escape for all who desire to break from the evil of their lives.
As we grow older we feel more and more the need of succor from God. In youth we are full of courage and confidence and strength. But soon life is too much for us and we become involved. Oh, the tragedies that lie buried in human hearts! As we get older we all feel like saying: Remember not past years. Remember not the transmissions of my youth. Put my sins from me, O Lord; as far as the rest is from the west! Well make that prayer this morning.

LOS ANGELES BROKER CLOSES DOORS ODAY
LOS ANGELES, June 18.—The office of A. W. Coote, broker, was closed today and application for a receiver to take charge of his business was to be filed in federal court, according to a statement issued from Coote's office.
The failure of Coote here was attributed to the failure of Knauth, Nachod and Kuhne, stock brokers, in New York City.
The following statement was issued by Mr. Coote:
"Following negotiations conducted Sunday for the organization of the firm of A. W. Coote, and the inability to complete a plan of financing the present situation, brought about by the failure of Knauth, Nachod and Kuhne of New York by Monday, creditors will file a petition in bankruptcy, together with an application for a receiver to take charge of the business of the firm pending the bearing of the petition.
"The office will be closed Monday.
"It is believed that financial arrangements can be completed at an early date which will make an adjudication in bankruptcy unnecessary."
FORD DECLARES HE WON'T ENTER RACE
SPRINGFIELD, Mass., June 18.—Henry Ford will not be a candidate for the presidency in 1924. He so declared today.
Ford had conducted a three-day search in Massachusetts towns for additions to his collection of antiques.
"I have no desire to be president," he said. "I am too much occupied with my own affairs and I do not intend to run. All this talk about my name being associated with the presidency is newspaper talk. There is nothing in it."
Referring to the Ku Klux Klan, Ford said:
"I never belonged to any organization and never intend to. I think the Ku Klux Klan is un-American and if I join any organization it will be one that wouldn't require me to wear a mask."

Read This Young Woman's Own Story of How Was Saved by Chiropractic
Los Angeles, April 22, 1921.
A year ago last January I was taken sick with convulsions and was taken to a hospital, my mind becoming a blank. I was there a week, was no better and was taken home. The M. D. still took care of me until March 15. My mind was still a blank and that day I took the hiccoughs. The M. D. was called early in the morning and gave me medicine for two hours, but it had no effect. Then he gave me a hypodermic. Then he went away and sent another M. D. and that one gave me medicine every 15 minutes till it blistered my throat and mouth and until it ceased that every tissue in my body was gone. All that had no effect on me at all.
When both M. D.'s came that evening and said they could do nothing but me to sleep until I would pass away. That evening the folks were to get a chiropractor. He came in a few minutes after the M. D.s and he stopped the hiccoughs right away. In the morning when I they started again and the chiropractor came at 7 a.m., and stop-um for good. I then began to regain my normal mind and now I am. My folks tell me that I was snatched from the grave by the chiror.
Now now what I do, and say and feel fine. The chiropractors are splendid and have saved many who were given up by the M. D.s. Of the best chiropractors is Joseph H. Coleman.
