Bridgewater - Salvation Army

(Capt. Bourne.)— We arrived at Bridgwater on Thursday; about 100 Soldiers waiting for us. We have had grand meetings since we have been here, souls every night. Sunday was a day never to be forgotten, the power of God was felt in every meeting; the devil tried to upset the meeting. On Sunday afternoon we had a grand march with the brass band; abour 100 in ranks. Ar night the Hall was crammed: no standing room; seven souls wept their way to the feet of Jesus.

From, "The War Cry," page 3, 9th February1882.

(Capt. Louisa Bourn) -The Lord is adding to our number daily such as shall be saved. Sunday was one of the best days the folks of Bridgewater have ever seen. We had 160 in the ranks. Our banner waved in a still March breeze, and we buttoned our coats and opened our mouths and let the glory out. Sixteen fell at the foot of the Cross at the close, thus enabling us to multiply our score of sinners redeemed to forty-eight for the week. On Sunday one of our converts said, "Last Sunday at this time I was drunk."

From, "The War Cry," page 3, 16th March 1882.

(Capt, Louisa Bourne)— We are making headway here. Glory be to God! The devil tries to upset us, but God is saving some of the worst of sinners. Sunday was a glorious day. God was with us in power all day, and, at the close, eight souls fell into the fountain. Our brass band is a great help to us. Since we have been here 200 have found the Saviour, and are now true Soldiers for Jesus.

I do not know where the meetings were held.
