The State Quarterly.

By Editor

THIS meeting was small, for several reasons. Bro. Israel is now in Oregon, where he went some time since on important business. The time of meeting was very rainy, so there were few in from the Oakland church. It was expected that the Session of the General Conference would be held April 1, and that Eld. Haskell would arrive here by the time of the State Quarterly meeting. But when it was learned that the Conference was postponed, that Eld. Haskell could not be here, with neither President nor Vice President in the State, the interest passed over to the time of Bro. Haskell's coming, when we expect strong efforts will be made to revive the missionary work.

The meeting of the Sabbath-school Association went by default, as there was not an officer present. We hope something may soon be done to give life to this work. Conference, T. and M. Society, and Sabbath-school Association, all need to be efficiently officered in California. Until this is done the work will flag.
