California Camp-Meeting.

It is not often that a pleasant, well-shaded camp-ground can be secured in a city of the size and thrift of Oakland. But such has been obtained here. It is an inclosed lot, bounded by 28th and 30th, east and west, and Adeline and Linden, north and south. It has a number of rows of eucalyptus trees running north and south, giving an agreeable shade, and by their regularity allowing of economy in space. The ground is large, containing four blocks.
Two lines of street-cars are near the ground. The Market Street line, running from the Market Street station on the local railroad, connecting also with the 14th Street line, terminates at Adeline and 24th Street, south of the camp. The 14th Street cars run to 16th Street station on the C. P. R. R. The San Pablo line runs near the ground on the north side.
And the time of the meeting is fast approaching. Only three weeks from the date of this paper to the beginning of the meeting. No time to lose; make preparations in season. Let your delegates to the Conference be chosen early. Bring all record books of churches, Tract Societies, and Sabbath-schools. Let us make this the most profitable meeting we have ever had in this State; one which shall tell for the advancement of the cause the coming year. Extensive preparations will be made. This opportunity must not be lost. Come early, and come to stay. For full particulars, see Supplement to SIGNS.
