word his answer rightly, finally continued:
"I have reason to believe that the President
Is taking as active and effective steps as ne

Spanish headquarters, for the news reaches
us to-day that the Minister who Will proba.

Rebuke Sin by Righteousness.

We may not all be called upon to speak;
we are all called upon to be. You can shine,
and by shining show how dark the darkness
is. The obligation is laid upon US all: the
commandment still comes to every Christian
which was given to the old prophet, DE
clare unto Ny people their transgresSon,s ,sne
to the house OF Jacob their SIM" Wecan all
rebuke sin by our righteousness, and byNour
shining reveal the darkness to itself. Wedo
not walk as children Of the hight unless we
keep ourselves from all connivance with
works OF darkness, and by all means at our
disposal reprove and convict them. Come
out from among them, and be ye separate,
and touch no unc!ean thing. saith the Lord. 2

HARB0R BOARDS INVESTIGATION.
Soundings Off Santa Monica and in the
Outer Hdr6or at San Pedro
COMPLETED.

LOS ANGELES, CAL, Jan. 30.-Sound- =
ings off Santa Monica and in the outer
hsrbor site at San PEDRO have been COM
pleted as far as directed by the Harbor
Board. The United States steamer Ged-
ney, the vessel used by the engineers, is
now moored in the inner har Dor, and the
results of the soundings are being plated.
The work of plating consists of locating
the various soundings on a map or chart
for ready reference. This is done with
data obtained from rough notes made
when the soundings were in progress. The
lines of the soundings are at distances of
about one-eighth of mile apart
Soundings along these lines were made
at long or short intervals, according to
the depth of water. At greater depths
they were made further apart. AS the
soundings were made to ascertain the
depth of the water from it's surface to the
bottom, pains were taken not to permit
the lead to sink into the mud at any place.
The results would not, therefore, show
the character of the bottom.
The results of the soundings show COM
paratively little change from the measure
ments recorded after the lastsurvey.
The principal differences noted are in
the outer harbor site in San Pedro, near
the mouth of the inner harbor the Gov
ernment jetty having produced material
change. Signals have been posted along
the sides of the inner harbor and sound
ings are to be made in it. They will prob
ably be closer, together than those in the
outer harbor site.

.s LOS ANGELES, CAL, Jan. 30.-The rea-
sons.for the purchase OF 132 acres OF land
near Point Iona, San Diego, by g. A..
Griscom of New Y FORK, was explained here
to-day by Abbott Clark, lecturer for the
Theosopnical Society of Southern Califor-
MIA.
Griscom is vice-president and manager
OF the international Steamship line and IS
now on his way to Japan, and it has been
thought that this purchase bore an i'm
portant relation to the proposed steam
ship line from San Diego to the Mikado's
Kingdom. Theosophist Clark says not.
''The purchase" said Mr.. Clark this
morning, ''is made for the purpose OF
es tablfshing on Point Iona a school for
the revival of the lost mysteries OF an
tiquity.
1--WE have for long time suspected
that Southern California would be Sc
lected for the site of such an institution,
but nothing was said until the purchase
had been actually consummated.
This Is no visionary scheme, as the
names of the men identified with it will
signify. E. B. Rambo, who paid $4,000
down for the site in behalf of the society
