The first session of the California State Conference will be held in connection with the camp-meeting, Sept. 17 to 23, at Yountville. At the session of our State meeting, we, by vote, resolved ourselves into a State Conference.

Thus, twenty members, or less, will entitle you to one delegate; thirty-five members, two delegates; fifty members, to three, &c. Blanks will be sent to each church clerk in due time, with proper instructions how to fill them for the Conference. Let each church immediately elect their delegates, that all may be ready in due season. Cal. Conf. Committee.
