Camp-Meetings.

By Editor

THE camp-meeting in Fresno County will be in session by the time another number of our paper reaches its readers. We expect to see all the friends of the cause in that part of the State, and their friends, at that meeting. We all look for a profitable season. There will be no Conference business to occupy the time, but due attention will be given to the interests of the Missionary Societies, and the Sabbath-schools. A Sabbath-school will be held on the ground. Let the children all be there. We hope a Missionary Society meeting will also be held for the special benefit of officers of the societies. Let us meet to work, to worship, to learn our duty, and to receive a blessing from Heaven.
We need not say that the meeting at Healdsburg will be an important one. We trust all the churches in this State realize this. A special effort should be made to attend it, and to bring your friends with you. It will be held in a pleasant grove, affording abundant shade from the sun and heat.
Subjects of vital importance will be presented. The Missionary and Sabbath-school work will receive attention, and every worker in, and every one friendly to, these important causes, should be present. We are highly gratified to be able to state that the cause in this Conference is in such condition that no large call for means will be necessary at this meeting. Let no one stay away with the feeling that he cannot aid the cause by coming. But the wants and the condition of the cause, in the Conference, and the Publishing Association, will be presented to those who are interested to know how matters are prospering. Come, and bring your children, and your friends; and come, praying and expecting that God will meet with us, and give us richly of his Holy Spirit.
At these meetings will be found our publications, and Oxford Bibles, S. S. Teachers' Edition.
It is purposed to spend Sabbath, Sept. 13, as a day of fasting and prayer.
