CAMP-MEETING IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA.
By Editor
AFTER consulting with some of our leading brethren, it has been thought advisable to recommend our friends in the vicinity of Fresno and Tulare counties, to hold a camp-meeting in April, commencing not later than the 22d. One week earlier would be better. Some of our reasons for selecting this time are, 1. This season of the year would be most favorable to those who come to labor, and who are not accustomed to that climate. 2. Mrs. White is now upon the coast, and it is uncertain how long she will remain. She will probably go East in time to attend the Eastern camp-meetings, and, if so, unless the meeting be held this spring, she cannot attend it. 3. By appointing it thus early, it will give time for her to attend camp-meetings in Oregon, if they are held as early, or earlier, than last year. The importance of her attending this meeting will be appreciated by the friends on the coast. We would appoint C. W. Porter, Wilson Smith, and G. W. Cody, as a committee to make definite arrangements. We suggest that the meeting be held at some point in Tulare county. Any information desired about tents, or making purchases in San Francisco for the meeting can be had by corresponding with Eld. M. C. Israel, 605 Ivy Avenue, San Francisco. Could our brethren in the more northern part of the State hold a camp-meeting about this time, even if a second one was held in the fall, it would secure the labors of some who probably will be unable to attend in the autumn. We hope to hear from our brethren in reference to this matter. S. N. HASKELL,
