largest meeting ever held in Southern California, there being near-

there must have heen nearly two thousand people gathered together.
The work has grown greatly the last two years in this part of the
state. On the whole, the meetl ngs were well attended, considering

very great, as the meeting was on the outskirts of the city . Quite
a number, however, were baptized; I think about sixty at the close
of the camp-meet ing, many of them belng younger members. The meet-
ings among the young people were especially good; many gave their
hearts to the Lords |
The business meetings were a great perplexity and a wearing load
from beginning to finish. - There was an incessant battle kept up
against Loma Linda, both publicly and privately. Certain ones seem

here. However, the Lord gave me grace to keep quiet most of the
time; occasionally I tried to give a word of explanation, which was
invariably met with a storm of orposition . I therefore finally
concluded the least sald , the better, and walted the outcore. Just
at the 2losing meeting, your communications sent to prother White
‘were read to a few of the most prominent opponents, which silenced
