CAMP-MEETING IN CALIFORNIA.

By Stephen Nelson Haskell

We have received a number of letters from our brethren in response to the request made in the SIGNS respecting the camp-meeting. There has been a general feeling that the meeting should commence about the middle of September. We have appointed it to commence Sept. 16, and to hold over two Sabbaths. Particulars as to where it will be held will be given next week. Wherever it may be held, special efforts will be made to reduce the fare from all parts of the State, and to accommodate all who may attend with or without their teams.

We shall expect to see the largest representation of our brethren and sisters that has ever been in this Conference. Instructions will be given in the missionary work in its different phases, and in the Sabbath-school, and temperance work.

We hope our friends in different parts of the State will commence at once to prepare for the meeting. Come at the commencement and remain until the close. Above everything else, come praying that God will meet with his people and pour out his holy Spirit in a special manner. This will be an important meeting. None can afford to fail of attending it. S. N. HASKELL.
