THERE will be a general meeting held at Los Angeles, in the S. D. A. meeting-house, commencing Friday evening, May 18; meetings will continue till the following Monday. At this meeting we hope to see the friends throughout the southern field, and as many others as can come. It is expected that Sister White will attend. Those living in San Diego, Ventura, and Bernardino Counties, are especially invited.

Sabbath-School Convention.
By G. D. Ballou
A SABBATH-SCHOOL Convention will be held in connection with the camp-meeting at Lemoore, to consider the wants of the Sabbath-schools and devise means of supplying such wants. Let all Sabbath-school workers, both scholars and teachers, come prepared to ask and answer questions pertaining to the best methods of carrying forward the work. A Sabbath-school will be held on the ground as usual. Classes in New Testament history will recite the current lesson. Special lessons will be prepared for the children, and sent out to the schools in season.
Brethren, don't forget nor neglect the interests of the Sabbath-schools, as you make preparation for a successful camp-meeting.

Pres. of Cal. S. S. Association.

Southern California Camp-Meeting.
THE Southern California Camp-meeting will be held May 10-16, at Lemoore, Tulare County. The grounds are the same that were occupied three years ago, close to the railroad, about two miles east of Lemoore.
We invite all who can come to be present at this meeting. These privileges only come to us once a year of spending a week together in seeking the Lord, and receiving instruction from his word through his tried servants. We are nearing the end, and many of our children and neighbors are unconverted. Come, and bring them, praying that their hearts may be reached, and that they may be converted and become the children of the Lord. We shall make all provisions possible for the comfort and convenience of those who attend. There will be a store and restaurant kept on the ground, where provisions will be supplied. If any are not able to provide themselves with tents, they can bring bed-clothes, and a place will be provided for them. All who want tents should at once apply to one of the committee, or to M. C. Israel, Pacific Press, Oakland, so that they may be shipped to the ground in time to be set up for them. Rent of 10x12 white tents, $4.00; 13x15, $6.00, for the time of the meeting.
A cordial invitation is extended to all to attend this meeting.

Book Notice.
By Editor
ON our table is a copy of the "Autobiography of Lorenzo Waugh." We have read this book with a good degree of pleasure, more, perhaps, because we have been permitted to form an acquaintance with the author. "Father Waugh," as he is familiarly called, is seventy-four years of age. He entered the ministry of the Methodist Church at an early age, and has devoted his life to the work of the gospel. We feel much drawn toward him because we find him a genial old gentleman, a great lover of children, and an earnest opposer of tobacco. The book was written for children, and on this ground we can excuse the taste manifested in the illustrations. The "cuts" will doubtless please the children; we cannot suppose they were inserted for any other purpose. It is got up in good style, both in printing and binding.
The book is full of interesting incidents, and we trust will find a ready sale. It may be had of the author at Petaluma, or of the Methodist Depository in San Francisco; it may also be procured at this office. Price, $1.25; four copies for $5.00.
