CAMP-MEETING.

By Editor

It will be seen by notice in this paper, that the California Camp-meeting will this year be held in Sacramento. There are several good reasons for taking it to Sacramento.

1. The churches in that valley have always given way to other places, and never had a Camp-meeting in their part of the State.

2. It will accommodate several new companies who ought to have the privileges of the meeting.

3. It will accommodate the large majority of the churches as well as any other locality.

4. The ground occupied last year in Alameda is now built upon and therefore cannot be obtained.

5. No suitable ground can be obtained in Alameda except on the Bay, which is too much exposed to cold, fall winds.

6. It is desirable, for several reasons, to commence as late as Oct. 6, and this is early enough for the climate of Sacramento, though rather late for the coast.

We expect a large attendance at this meeting.
