THE CALIFORNIA CAMP-MEETING AND CONFERENCE.
By M. H. Brown
OUR State camp-meeting and conference will be held at Fresno, California, commencing September 30. They will be preceded by a workers’ meeting beginning September 25. The plan is this: The laborers and conference delegates are requested to gather five days before the formal opening of the camp-meeting and conference, to seek God and study His Word, and thus be better prepared to transact the business of the conference harmoniously and promptly. The devotional meetings and Bible study will accomplish much in this direction if the laborers and the delegates are present and enter heartily into the work. By following this plan it is hoped that the business of the conference can be finished the first week, so that the last week may be devoted to the spiritual uplifting of the people, and a preparation for active service in the Master’s cause. For these reasons the conference committee earnestly request all conference delegates to be present during the workers’ meeting, September 25–30, 1902. The conference will convene at 10 A. M. Tuesday, September 30, 1902. Each church is entitled to one delegate without regard to membership, and an additional delegate every twenty members. The churches should elect their delegates at once, and send a list of them to the secretary of the conference, M. H. Brown, 301 San Pablo Ave., Oakland, Cal. There should be no delay in this matter, as the time is very short. It was first planned to hold the camp-meeting October 16–26, but since then we have learned that the General Conference will be held at that time, and this made it necessary to appoint our meeting earlier. Further particulars in regard to the meeting will be given later. M. H. BROWN, Conf. Secretary.
