LARGE AUDIENCE HEARS GEISSINGER Dr. Geissinger was greeted Sunday morning with an audience that completely filled both auditoriums of the White Temple and in a preliminary statement expressed his delight at being resigned to Anaheim and said that he felt that the church here is on the eve of great things. He further stated that the White Temple was now from the point of view of property, money raised, giving for missions, membership and, in fact, from every angle, in the front rank of Methodist churches in So. Calif. A large chorus choir led by Dr. Young tendered beautifully Schneckers "My Faith Locks up to Thee", while Mr. Warren Ashleigh sang feelingly a tender gospel message. The text of the sermon was Tim. 1:15. "Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners." Dr. Geissingers said in part: Jesus came to save the world. We have had many benefactors but no other person in history has sought to break the power of sin and bring the race back to God. We do well to honor all the servants and helpers of the race-statesmen, lawgivers, builders, scientists, inventors, artists, poets, singers, but apart from above all these stands Christ who seeks to turn and does turn the hearts of men Godward. We may think of Christ as teacher and philanthropist and example but we must think of him as Savior for He came to save us men and women. "Then the word is honest enough to speak the truth about us—He came to save us sinners. The Bible never flatters us. It calls us sinners and that we are redeemed or unredeemed. In another place the Bible says that "we have all sinned and come short of the glory of God." That is true as we are all ready to testify. But sin is always more than a short coming. It is in its essence rebellion against God. "Think of our world today and how truly Jesus characterizes conditions for us when he says: "Out of the heart come evil thought, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, slanders." Think of life today with its ignorance, head-lines, vanity, profanity, lawlessness." CAPTURES WOMAN'S SHOOTING TITLE Mrs. E. L. King.

But sin is always more than a short coming. It is in its essence rebellion against God. "Think of our world today and how truly Jesus characterizes conditions for us when he says: 'Out of the heart come evil thought, murders, adulteries, fornication, thefts, false witness, slanders.' Think of life today with its ignorance, headiness, vanity, profanity, lawlessness and recklessness and then try to deny the fact of sin. The truth is that the most dangerous animal in the world is man. Think of what man would be today after all these centuries of education and civilization and religion if all restraints were to be removed from men's lives and they were to be permitted to do as they please. "Every same person today is alarmed as he faces not only the lawlessness of our modern life but its lack of regard for law. Think of the lust of today and our broken homes, of traffic racklessness, of swindling schemes, of burglaries, of mobs, of the bootleggers, prize-fighters and their hangers on, Sabbath breakers and the millions without God and without hope in the world. Yes and think how little anyone cares about all this. "It is doubtless true that you people do not belong under such categories you are not violent sinners but you are sinners just the same. Let me ask you two questions: 'Have you made an honest, prayerful effort to learn what is the will of God in your lives? I desire to ask that question of the men and women who are not openly, out and out for Christ. And have you lived up to the light God has given you when you have cried out to him for guidance? Ah yes we are all sinners redeemed and without God or hope. Now, truly this is a faithful and true saying and this gospel message that Christ comes to save and is able to save, is a message that is worthy of all acceptance, worthy of acceptance by everyone and worthy of full acceptance into the brain, heart, conscience and will of us all. We men and women need all the help we can get and we do not feel ashamed to take the help of the physician when we are sick, of the teacher when we desire to know, of the business expert when we wish to invest, why should we turn aside from the Physician of Souls? When we know that we need to be saved from sin why do we foolishly turn away from the Savior of the World."

One chair or even two in needlepoint would be very lovely in a well-furnished room but it should be a room of dignified mien to invite the placing of this exquisite material. Linen, plain, brocaded and printed cretonne and chinz all wear well, and are bright and livable. Tapestry in soft quiet tones is lovely and will last for years. Velours in neutral tones are most acceptable, and each will be found appropriate and worthy of selection for furniture covering, which must stand hard wear. After it is decided that the pieces selected are well made, with good springs and sturdy frames, and the correct and satisfactory covering has been settled upon, the pieces must then be placed in the most acceptable positions in the room. When placing furniture it is well to remember that grouping those pieces which necessarily belong together, is not only natural, but desirable. The legitimate grouping of furniture in a room is the grouping for comfort and use. Hence, comfortable chairs, tables, lamps and books seem to belong, and they do belong in close proximity. Bookshelves to be of use should be accessible, and readily reached from the neighborhood of the reading chair and the table. Lamps should be placed where they will throw a light on the book or sewing of the occupants of the room at night. A lamp placed on a table in front of a window is not often happily placed. Comfortable chairs reclined to unused corners show thoughtfulness in arrangement. Proper Placing A long couch with a table of the same length at the back of it, on which are placed lamps throwing light on book or sewing, a commodious chair with a small table at the side on which a lamp, books and magazines are placed, a low chair of generous size with a floor lamp, a small table with magazines and cigarettes or tobacco box on it—these all form acceptable groups. A room may hold one or more of such groups, or indeed may hold all of them, according to the size of the room. Furniture should not be placed to interfere with the free traffic through the room; nor should it be placed behind doors to hinder their opening or closing. When a window has a delightful view, do not fill it with furniture, spoiling what might be an unsurpassed picture. A commodious, well-upholstered couch placed before the fireplace, or at an angle with the fireplace, is a most gratifying arrangement. If the couch stands in front of the fireplace, a narrow table, which bears the and women need all the help we can get and we do not feel ashamed to take the help of the physician when we are sick, of the teacher when we desire to know, of the business expert when we wish to invest, why should we turn aside from the Physician of Souls?

ZEP ZR-3 WON'T BE DONE UNTIL SPRING BERLIN, Oct. 8. — The dirigible ZR-3, being built by the Zeppelins at Frederichshaven for the U. S. navy, will not be able to start on its transatlantic flight for home until spring, Commander Halsey, naval attaché at the American embassy, announced today. Work has been retarded to such an extent that trial flights cannot be made for about five months. National Improvement Program Wide in Scope (Continued from Page 1) Lives to be an increasingly powerful undercurrent in the nation's affairs, sweeping whole communities toward greater stability and wholesomeness in public and private life. LOCAL HOME FURNISHING HOUSES PREPARE INTERESTING EXHIBITS Throughout the week Anaheim furniture dealers are holding "open house" and welcoming the public to their establishments. These have been arrayed in lavish displays of beauty, and comfort-bringing home furnishings of every description, and all of the stores will be exhibitions more than places of business, so that every one will feel free to make complete tours of inspection without any suggestion of buying being made. The educational value of the "exhibits" is of no small importance. The modern trend of interior decorating art can be studied, and the newest and finest products of both American and foreign craftsmen are generously represented. Beside this, the contributions of scientists and inventors to the convenience and hygiene of present-day homes will be shown. "Better Homes" week in Anaheim has a special significance in the fact that this section is famous for its remarkably attractive and well-equipped homes. Even the modest dwelling of many a Southern Californian calls forth the admiration of newcomers to whom so many of our accustomed conveniences are innovations. For this reason the local displays of the week will serve to demonstrate not only the most advanced styles and equipment of the west, but of the entire country. CLAIM VETS RUN CAMOUFLAGED STILL HELENA, Mont., Oct. 8. — Montana prohibition officers are searching for a war veteran who saw service overseas with a camouflage outfit. According to George Costello, dry agent of Glasgow, Mont., bootleggers are believed to be employing the returned veteran to conceal their moonshine stills on Montana farms. Costello said a still was recently discovered in a tent near Bozeman, Mont., after many weeks' search. The moonshine-making outfit had been hidden in a tent, painted green, and pitched in a clump of willows. Several times the dry officers came within a few feet of the hidden still, but were unable to locate it because of the successful camouflage. A large number of barrels, hidden in the willows nearby, were painted green. Three hundred gallons of whiskey, 1300 pounds of sugar, 1000 pounds of corn and 15 barrels of mash, ready for distilling were found in the cache. Near Havre, Mont., a still was found on a mountain. The still was made of canvas and was located on the edge of a cliff. Painted to resemble rocks, it was many weeks before the moonshiners' outfit was discovered. At Great Falls a still was recently found on the banks of the Missouri river. Here the still was located in a cave. Painted canvas trees were used to disguise a door, which formed the entrance to the cave. It takes more than a silk hat, a cane and a pair of spats to make civilization.—Oroville Register. Infantile Paralysis Breaks Out in County Noting that infantile paralysis for the first time since he entered office has broken out in the county, Dr. W. Leland Mitchell, county health officer, today pointed out that the prevalence of the disease has been increasing for months in Los Angeles County. Each month has witnessed a bigger gain in the number of cases in the adjoining county than the month before. In September there were 14 new cases, in August 12, etc. Dr. Mitchell's jurisdiction is outside the incorporated cities. Dr. Mitchell, quoting from a statement of the State Board of Health, which appear officially soon, says that in 1912 there were 531 cases in the state, with 129 deaths. Except for 1921, when there were 252 cases, the disease now is more prevalent than in any year since 1912. Adults; as well as children are affected, and in 1912 half the sufferers were paralyzed. Strict quarantine, the burning of nose and throat discharges and disinfection of other discharges are recommended. San Bernardino County had six new cases in September and River-side and San Diego Counties one each. AT HOTEL VALENCIA R. A. Warren, Fred G. Cutter, Louis Husbamb and A. V. Hill, Los Angeles; H.

It is to be Allen County's memorial to the memory of late President Warren G. Harding. The Harding highway, from Delphos to the Hardin-co Hine, has been selected for the memorial avenue of trees. Nearly 6,000 elm trees will be planted so as to form a living memorial arch of green. It has been proposed that other Ohio counties through which the Harding highway traverses take similar action, forming a tree-lined avenue across the entire width of Ohio. The Harding highway leads both to the tomb of former President Harding at Marion and that of former President William McKinley at Canton, Ohio. The 6,000 trees, to be planted in this county on Air Day, next April, will be furnished by Lynn B. Timerman, member of the American Tree Ass'n.
