tent-meeting in Petaluma. In April. 1869,
the churches raised not being fully organized,
| the believers formed themselves into Estate
meeting" OF annual sessions. This continued
until February, 1873, when it was merged
into a regular State Conference. Seven
churches were recognized, showing member.
| ship of 23S. At the Conference Of 1880, held
with the camp-meeting in Alameda. the re-
ported membership was Si4. But little OF
! the business of the present Conference session
has vet been transacted, and the statistics are
not complete, but over 100 converts are re-
ported by laborers. The officers are, Elder
S. n Haskell. President; Elder ]. D. Rice,
Secretary; W. G. White, Treasurer, aud an
Executive Committee, consisting of the Pres

THE FIRST
Csmp-meeting held by Seventh-day Advent
lists was in Ottawa county, Michigan, in
1868. Now about thirty are held each year.
from Maine to Texas, four of them on The
Pacific slope-upper Columbia, Oregon, and
two in California. Some OF them have been
largely attended, as many as 10000 people
being present at one in New England, and
they say that not one of them has ever been
disturbed. Judging from the order main
| tanned in this meeting, we can readily believe
this report. And this order is kept in the
most quiet ard unobtrusive manner. No
threats are made; no noisy demonstrations
appear the Rules of the Ground are con-
| spicously displayed, and all seem to yield
ready obedience.
| This is the second camp-meetiDg in this
| State this year, the first having been held in
Fresno last spring. But this is the most in-
| psrtant, ss in connection with this are held
the annual sessions of the Conference, the
State Tract and Missionary Society. Health
and Temperance Association and sabbath
school Association. The central point of this
city of tents, as their posters style it, is Of
course the grand pavilion for meetings, CD by
Sc feet in size. The tent for the restaurant
is 60 feet indiameter the pilgrims arbor,"
80 feet. The dwelling-tents are laid cut in
regular order on streets, presenting a neat
and inviting appearance. Some have floors,
many have carpets, and most of them have
stoves. They number 95, and 10 rooms in
the arbor, making Ito residences. There are
reported 365 jewellers in tents, but this does
not embrace all the regular attendants, as
some room off the ground.
