Pacific Coast Meeting

A very profitable meeting has just been concluded in this place. Delegates were present from all the States on the Pacific Coast, and Pastors Irwin and Haskell were here, having just returned from Australia. In the early morning and evening meetings the time was occupied principally by Brethren Irwin and Haskell in the setting forth of the very nearness of the end of all things, and the great necessity of earnest and faithful work for others, and also the most careful preparation on our part. The principle of sacrificing everything in order to enlighten the world in regard to what is coming to pass was strongly dwelt upon. There was a willing response on the part of the Oakland church and the brethren and sisters present. All seemed to feel as never before that we have no time to lose in getting ready for the great day of the Lord, and that one of the most important things in this preparation is telling all the world that Christ is soon coming and that all should hasten to prepare for that glad event.
