Yesterday mornings meeting at 5:So was

speaking Of the people was more spirited
whi.h showed an increase OF interest on tns
part Of The campers. and that the work OF
Srn,,a had not exhausted them either physi-
oaIly or spiritually. This is largely owing to
their arrangement of having perfect quiet on
tbe ground during the night. All get as

and they rise in the morning as fresh as could
be possible under any circumstances. This
! il in striking contrast with the noisy demon
| straticns which have been characteristic Of
some camp-meetings, and have served to
bring them too often into disrepute. After
breakfast, and family worship in the tents, a
meeting Of the State Sabbath-school Associa-
ton was convened, w. G. White, President.

of the Association meeting held last year on
the eaInp-ground at Alameda. Much adj
vaEcement, is appeared. has been made since
then, and several new schools have been es-
tablished. VIC. White spoke encouragingly
of the school at Oakland, which is the lead
Ing schoolin thaState. He urged al the schools
to enter into the spirit Of the work, and not be
contented with mere form. The teacher must
be original, and not depend on Commentaries
and Lesson Helps, yet to ignore them alto
gether i the height of bigotry. Elder M. Y.
Israei spoke for San Francisco. N G. Nc
Ciure gave q most interesting account OF the
Sabbath-school il Los Angeles. The doc
trine OF the church was presented In that
place this year for the first time. Elder

Others, had pitched tent there In April.
They organized Sabbath-school at the COM

but interesting school lately formed at Lake

gagged in tent labor sincs 1859, and had al.
ways found that by eulisting the interest OF
the children he enlisted the sympathies of
the parents. When he pitched his tent he
had distributed TO the children cards on
which the ten commandments were printed,

Elder Haskell spoke at II a. NJ. On Sour
Work. and said that conversion to God
means conversion to His work. Those per-
sons who are the most honoted now were the
most denounced during their lifetime, because
they espeused an unpopular cause. There
are as greas sacrifices for US to make as for
those who lived in the past.
Elder Haskell also spoke in the afternoon.
His discourse wss confirmation Of the sub
iect of the morning. Popular sins are the
most dangerous of all sins. The commences
of sin does not diminish its sinfulness. The
remarks were practical, and earnestly given.

practical discourses that they would not spe-
cially interest the reader. A spirited social
raeeting was held at 5P. NJ. At 1880 Elder

" Nevertheless, we. according to His promise,
look for new heavens aud a new earth, where
in dwelleth righteousness" His argument
was to show that the earth is to be redeemed
for the abode of the saints. This doctrine
has not been much preached since the time
