Camp-Meeting Notice!

THE Camp-meetings for California were appointed to be held at the times given in the SIGNS because Eld. Haskell considered it necessary for him to return East the last of August. We regretted their being appointed so early. And we received letters from various directions to the effect that it would be impossible to have a general turn-out at the times given.

We accordingly corresponded with Eld. Haskell and obtained the privilege to postpone them one or two weeks, as we should think best. Since that we have received a letter from the President of the General Conference which meets our wants. He says there is not so urgent need for Eld. H. to hasten his return east,—that it is better for him to remain longer and attend to the wants of the cause here than to return soon, and send another here, as would have to be done.

After consultation we appoint as follows :—

Southern, Fresno City, Aug. 28 to Sept. 2. Northern, Healdsburg, Sept. 18-23.

This places the Northern meeting about its usual time, and gives sufficient time between the two meetings, which the former arrangement did not, and will afford Eld. Haskell opportunity to spend some time in the Southern field if he shall judge it necessary.

Now let all prepare to attend the Camp-meetings. Come early, and stay till the close.

Will the Committees send notices giving particulars, in good season?
