An Important Article.

By Editor

OUR late camp-meeting in Oakland, with the liberal notices which it received from the Oakland and San Francisco papers, created such an interest in the Seventh-day Adventists and their work that the Farmer and Dealer, a monthly paper with a large circulation through all the coast country, published a descriptive article of us and of our work, occupying more than a page of the same size as that of an ordinary newspaper. This will go far toward bringing our work directly to the notice of many who knew little or nothing of us before.

An interesting fact in this connection: The manager of the Farmer and Dealer was present at our first camp-meeting in Wright, Mich., in 1868, and now at the late one in Oakland. The progress shown in this work since the first camp-meeting doubtless had much to do with the publication of so long an article concerning this people and their faith and work.
