General Meetings in California.

By Stephen Nelson Haskell

We wish once more to call the attention of our brethren to these meetings. One object of them is to learn the condition of the cause all over the State, and what is being accomplished in the missionary work; also to see if some advance steps may not be taken. Therefore we desire to become acquainted with as many of the friends of the cause as is consistent, and you all need the influence of the meetings. Do not let any trivial matter prevent your attending. Be on hand at the commencement of the meetings and do not leave until the last one is over. Our meetings will commence Friday night, one quarter before eight o'clock.

We suggest the following for Sabbath and Sunday. Sabbath morning at 9, Sabbath-school. Preaching at 10 1/2. Come prepared to remain at the church until 2 P. M. We suggest this as some come from a distance, and it gives them more time to return home and come again in the evening. Preaching again quarter before 8.

On Sunday a social meeting at 9. Preaching at 11. Then in the afternoon will be a meeting for the church more particularly; one which all will be specially interested in, as it will pertain to the missionary work, progress of the cause, etc.

Public services again Sunday night quarter before 8. Come seeking God that his blessing may rest upon us, and he will not disappoint us.

S. N. HASKELL.
