State Camp-Meeting.

By Editor

THERE are less than six weeks intervening between the date of this paper and the beginning of our State camp-meeting. It is high time that active preparations were being made for it. In the first place, every one should decide to go. Let nothing but sickness keep you away. You need the meeting. It will be in many respects the most important camp-meeting ever held in California, and should therefore have the largest attendance. Do not excuse yourself on account of "hard times." If you do, you will probably never attend a camp-meeting, for there is no reason to expect any better times than we are now having. If you now decide to go, you can make circumstances bend to that decision. Make all your plans with reference to that event. And in all your preparation, do not forget the preparation of heart. Renew your consecration to God. Do not wait for the camp-meeting to warm you into spiritual life, but take the Spirit of the Lord with you, that you may not only receive richer supplies, but may be a blessing to others.
