THE GENERAL CAMP-MEETING IN OAKLAND.

By California Conference Committee

Soon will the time roll around for our annual camp-meeting and Conference. It is now expected that Bro. and Sister White and Bro. A. T. Jones will be with us at this meeting. We hope to have the largest attendance of our people that we have ever had on this coast. To this end let each begin preparations now to attend the meeting. Do not decide that you cannot come, but rather that such opportunities are passing away, and another may not be ours, and that we must have the benefits of this meeting. Then bend every energy to come. Let not the enemy of all souls cheat you out of the blessing that you need, and must have, if you are successful in the warfare. Plan your work with reference to attending, and then expect the Lord to work with your efforts, and to open the way before you that you may attend. Do not do as some have already said, "Oh, my work is such that I cannot go." How do you know that you will be alive at the time of another camp-meeting, to go? Many who were with us last year have passed away, to meet with us no more. Who would fail to attend the meeting because of earthly cares, if they thought in a few months, or weeks, they should share the fate of such?
