Boston - Salvation Army

Date: 1880-1882  ·  Place: Boston, Lincolnshire  ·  Type: National well


Victory all the week. 21 souls in eight days. Praise God! Last Sunday was a high day for the 61st blood and five. 60 in the open air. 1,000 inside. Power of God all day. Magistrates stop music in the streets, but cannot stop sinners being saved. 70 spoke in 15 minutes. Hallelujah! The 61st is being led on to victory by the hallelujah Yorkshireman. We mean victory through the Blood of the Lamb. Devil defeated, soldiers jumping, glory streaming, ranks swelling, lots convicted, more to follow.

From, 'The War Cry', November 1880.

I arrived here, Saturday, December 31st. Our Watch-night was a grand time. As the old year went out, and the new one came in, several deep-dyed sinners felt that the devil went out of them, and God came in. Hallelujah! We finished up at two o'clock New Year's morning. We commenced again at seven. Glory and power all over us. Five more black sinners came to the Mercy-seat, and went off determined to spend the New Year walking with God.

Sunday, a grand time all day. But only three decided for Jesus. Tuesday we were ungable to get a chapel, owing to united meetings in the town, but we were packed. We finished up at eleven with sinners and believers at the Mercy-seat. At ten, the power of God fell in a wonderful manner, never, as the Captain said, to be forgotten, We left for Grimsby with shouts of "Hallelujah! "
