FRESNO CAMP-MEETING.

A LINE from Bro. Corliss dated Fresno, April 30, says:—

I will write a little about the meeting this evening while Bro. Haskell is preaching. There are thirty-one family tents on the ground. Considering the busy season (haying), the attendance is good, though I am told there are hardly as many present as were at the meeting one year ago.

The meeting commenced Friday afternoon, and has steadily risen in interest since. To-day a good move was made. Upon an invitation being given for sinners and backsliders to manifest their desire for the prayers of the people of God, thirty or more quickly moved forward and occupied the front seats. Some made hearty confessions of their backslidings, and others with tears expressed their desire to come near to God.

After prayer was offered the meeting closed, and the congregation dispersed to the family tents, where the good work was carried on with marked effect. The Lord has evidently been in our midst to-day, and has given tokens of his willingness to bless his people. We confidently look for good results from the meeting.
