Southern California Camp-Meeting.

ELDER LOUGHBOROUGH writes from Lemoore, September 30:—

“This camp-meeting is of the same quality of the Northern, the only difference is in the quantity. But it is ‘a big thing’ in this newly settled country, and ‘astonishes the natives.’ We have twenty-two tents, besides the 50-ft. tent. There are one hundred and fifteen campers on the ground, and a good outside attendance. We have about five sermons a day, besides other meetings. Yesterday we had twenty-five join us. Twenty-two of these are to be baptized in Kings river to-morrow. All the campers were desirous of having the meeting continue another day, and all agreed to stay; therefore the meeting will not close until October 2.”

A full report will be given next week.
