Southern California Business.

By James White; C. C. Burnett

A BUSINESS meeting was called in connection with the southern California camp-meeting, September 30. Elder J. N. Loughborough acted as chairman, and C. C. Burnett was chosen secretary.
It was moved, seconded, and carried by vote, that means be raised to clear the $83 missionary debt of district No. 2. Brethren M. J. Church and R. F. Eagle circulated subscription papers, and in fifteen minutes obtained pledges for $106.50, all of which was paid down, except $9.00.
It was voted that the overplus of $23.50 be applied toward the indebtedness on the purchase of the two 50-ft. tents.
By the request of the audience, Brethren Healey and Eagle were appointed as a committee to prepare resolutions for action at an adjourned meeting. This second session was held October 1, when the committee presented the following resolutions, which were unanimously adopted:—
Whereas, God in his kind providence moved our brethren in the northern part of the State to send us the present truth, therefore:—
Resolved, that we heartily thank Him, and are determined by his grace to walk in the light of the truth.
Resolved, That we are grateful for the effort made by our brethren to send us the third angel's message, and we desire to do what we can, financially and otherwise, to support the cause.
Resolved, That we endorse the resolutions passed at the Yountville camp-meeting, relating to the general cause.
Resolved, That we ask the State Conference to send us more help, as soon as the exigencies of the work will permit.
Resolved, That we thank Mr. G. W. Sterling for his kindness in permitting us to use a portion of his land for our camp-meeting.
Resolved, That we extend our thanks to the citizens of Lemoore and vicinity for their good deportment while attending our meeting, and we are especially under obligations to Heinlin Bro’s, and J. J. Mack & Co., merchants of Lemoore, for favors.
Resolved, That we feel grateful to the newspaper publishers of Visalia and Fresno, for inserting notices, etc.
Resolved, That the foregoing resolutions be furnished to the SIGNS OF THE TIMES for publication.
J. N. Loughborough, President. C. C. Burnett, Secretary.
