CALIFORNIA CAMP MEETING.

By Stephen Nelson Haskell

THE coming camp meeting to be held at Oakland will in many respects be the most important camp meeting ever held in California. We have reached an important era in the history of this work as well as in the history of the gospel of Jesus Christ. For nearly fifty years we have looked forward to the time when the loud cry of the Third Angel's Message would come—the time of the latter rain, when the experience of the early church would be acted over again. That time has come. The mighty angel which is to come down from heaven and lighten the earth with his glory, has come and begun his work.

We have also looked forward to the time of the persecution of the two-horned beast of Revelation 13 which would mark the beginning of the end. We have entered upon this period. Advance moves are being made. The entire armies of heaven are on the move. It is for us to coöperate at the present time ere we are left to perish.

There will be help from the General Conference at this meeting. We write this thus early so that our brethren may at once begin to prepare for this general gathering. We expect them to be in session at this meeting. Bring your unconverted children and neighbors. Let the meeting be a subject of prayer.

S. N. HASKELL, Pres. Cal. Conf.
