California Conference.

THE eleventh annual meeting of the California Conference will be held in connection with the camp-meeting at Healdsburg, commencing October 5, 1882. Every organized church of twenty or less members is entitled to one delegate, and an additional one for every fifteen members over that number. Unorganized companies and isolated brethren should also be represented in person or by letter, so that the wants of the cause in the State may be known.
Ministers and licentiates, and others laboring in the Conference, are requested to make out a written report of labor, time, and expenses, to October 1, the close of the present Conference year, and hand it in at the first session. Conference business will be disposed of during the early part of the meeting, that all the time possible may be devoted to spiritual matters: delegates are therefore requested to be on the ground at the commencement. All letters pertaining to Conference business should be addressed to Mrs. Barbara C. Rice, Healdsburg.
Brethren and Sisters, we would invite every one of you to read Mal. 3:10, and fulfill that scripture that we may have the promised blessing at our camp-meeting, and also that the expenses of the Conference which have been larger than usual this year, may be met. We have purchased three new preaching tents, a 50 ft., a 40 ft., and a 24x36 ft. We have had more laborers in the field this year than ever before, which will account for the increase of expenses.
Church Clerks and Treasurers will please bring their books.
CAL. CONFERENCE COMMITTEE.
