And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of Heaven is at hand. California State Meeting.
The fourth annual session of the California State Meeting of S. D. Adventists will be held with the church at Santa Rosa, Sonoma Co., Cal., commencing Thursday evening, April 25, and continuing to Sunday evening, April 28. Business session Friday, the 26th, at 9 A. M. Come, brethren and sisters, praying the Lord to be with us, to bless us, to guide us in all our deliberations for the spread of the truth on this coast. Come prepared to stay till the meetings close. Make your calculations. Lay your plans before hand. Let nothing hinder your attending this annual gathering. Leave your business at home and come for the special object of getting nearer to God and worshiping him. Come with heart, head, and hands all dedicated to the Lord. Come to aid in the work by your talents of influence, strength, and means. If our brethren in Sonoma Co. will bring blankets, &c., the church in Santa Rosa will furnish house room, and do what they can to entertain the brethren and sisters. We hope every church and individual in California will have their S. B. account squared up to the first of April so that this State Meeting may present a clean record. Bro. Cornell expects to return East immediately after this State Meeting. So this will be your last opportunity of hearing him for the present. May the Lord bless us and work for us as we strive to learn and do his will. It was voted at our last State Meeting to have a camp-meeting this spring; but, as our churches by vote release that obligation, we appoint the above, and leave camp-meeting until Bro. and sister White come.
