Sabbath Schools at San Jose
Two very interesting Sabbath-schools were held on the camp-ground at San Jose. No special preparation had been made, either as regards organization or preparation of lessons, for the President of the Association did not reach the ground until just before the first Sabbath, and the hurry of camp-meeting preparations did not allow of the usual amount of study; and yet there was exhibited a good degree of familiarity with the lesson, and considerable enthusiasm in the work. We are glad to know that the interest in the Sabbath-school work in the State is increasing; that the real object of the school is being considered,—a thorough understanding of the Bible and the conversion of souls. A spirit of liberality is also being fostered, as was shown by the class contributions,—nearly fifty dollars. If all the schools in the State give as much proportionately every Sabbath, they will soon be amply supplied with every needed help, and will be able to do something in the missionary line.
