Camp-meetings.

By Editor

THE friends in Central California will please note particularly:—

1. The address of the Camp-meeting Committee of the Southern California Camp-meeting. Weigh well the important considerations there presented.

2. The appointments of Elder Van Horn in this paper. By the severe sickness of his child, he was prevented from going to Fresno and Tulare Counties as early as was expected. His time to work in those counties is very short. To have it improved to the best advantage, all must attend the meetings now appointed.

3. The place of meeting—about one mile and a half south of Hanford, in Wason Grove.

4. We this week print a Camp-meeting Supplement of two pages, which will be sent to hundreds of people in those counties, and quantities will be sent to the churches to be circulated. Let them all be used. Give thorough notice of your meeting; expect your friends and neighbors to attend; and be sure to attend yourselves, and make your friends at home on the ground.

The Camp-meeting in Washington Territory is definitely appointed in this paper. It will be at Dayton, Columbia Co., in the same park used last year. It will commence May 31. Though the time is about one week earlier than last year, it will be no detriment to the meeting. It will secure the attendance of some who could not attend at a later date; and the weather is as likely to be suitable then as later. Last year there was good weather at that season, but not much during the camp-meeting. And so in Oregon. The weather had been suitable for a Camp-meeting for weeks, but there was considerable storm during the meeting.

We expect to attend these meetings, and hope the brethren and sisters will pray and work for successful meetings in both Conferences.

We especially invite the young people of Oregon, who wish to work in the cause, to attend the Camp-meeting this year. Bro. Boyd, who appoints to be present, has given much attention to the work of organizing, and they will have an excellent chance to receive instruction in the various branches of the work.
