Fresno, Cal. Camp-Meeting.
By Editor
In company with Bro. Haskell we left Oakland in the evening of Tuesday, the 26th, and arrived in Fresno at 1 o’clock, night. The wind blew up the valley a gale, resulting in a "sand storm" lasting most of the night. In the morning we visited the camp-ground, and found the large tent prostrated. It was not properly pitched, and no one was there who understood this work. We took hold and pitched the tent and assisted in preparations for the meeting. It was very encouraging to see the brethren and sisters on the ground early. Most of them were there on Wednesday, so that we opened the meeting that evening. There are now, sixth day, 40 family tents on the ground. This morning at 8, we changed the usual order of the meeting and Bro. Haskell spoke in the large tent on the missionary work. At 10, Bro. J. E. White held a consultation with the teachers preparatory to the Sabbath-school on Sabbath morning. At 10:30 Bro. Haskell gave a stirring discourse on the rise and progress of the work of the third angel’s message. The windy weather of the past few days, which dispelled the excessive heat, is over. The evenings are delightful; days pretty hot. We look and hope for a good time. EDITOR.
