Bridlington - Salvation Army

This is a monthly report from the Salvation Army station here.

When I turned in here, I was struck with the happy faces and said, "You have a nice lot of folks here" when an old fisherman said

"We are not all 'towed in yet" By the time to commence a few more had "towed in", and the place was full in every part. We had a grand time for holiness. Five professed to find the blessing of a clean heart.

The next night others told us how they had spent the night in prayer. One had found the long-sought blessing by the bedside; another found it in the field; one man on the road.

On the Saturday night, a man squeezed a piece of tobacco into my hand and said, "That's my idol, I will give up my 'quid' for Jesus." The Lord knocked him down flat on his back. A lot of fellows said, "He is in a fit;" but God was making him fit for Himself for real fighting, and he soon rejoiced in a full salvation.

In the morning we had a good time, in the pouring rain, in the open air. Afternoon, a full mile in procession. Conveyances of almost every sort. Place crowded before time. At night lots unable to get in. A grand time. Seven souls, and £10 for the New General Fund.

BRIDLINGTON QUAY (Capt. McAllen).→

On Friday night we went out boldly to the throne of Grace with the cheque, "Ask what ye will, and it  shall be done unto you." We got the cheque cashed by an outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Seven came out to the Mercy-seat, made a full surrender, and got the blessing of a clean heart, Glory to God!

From, "The War Cry," page 3, 19th January 1882.

I do not know where the meetings were held.
