Carlisle - Salvation Army

Carlisle is still going ahead, God Almighty is saving sinners and raising his own people higher. Hallelujah! Our meetings are blessed, melting, refining and saving times; souls nearly every night. Praise the Lord forever! Our Friday night Holiness meetings was grand, several out for the blessing of Holiness. Saturday night Free and Easy. Glory to God!

Sunday was a day of power and blessing, 140 at kneel drill. God came down upon us in a remarkable mannner. Open-air; march is grand; theatre packed at night; crowning time after three hours and a half hard fighting. We finished with 18 prisoners taken from the enemy; more to follow, keep believing.

From,'The War Cry', August 1881.

The captain says it is better than ever. We are getting a good hold upon the city, such as we have not had since we commenced here. Sunday was a crowning day; 220 soldiers in the march. Theatre packed in every corner. 33 souls last week and they are still coming out for God.

From, 'The War Cry', October 1881.

(Capt. Roe). — Private Coleman writes: "Thank God for the victories which He has given us at this Station. The past week has been a week of rejoicing to our souls; it has made our hearts dance with joy to see the prodigal return, crying. "What must I do to be saved?" The Lord is moving on the hearts of the people at Carlisle, and souls are getting saved every night. Sunday was a day of power. In the evening we began at 6.30, and had a very good meeting at the close, fourteen precious souls wept their way to Calvary. We are expecting greater things."

From, "The War Cry," page 3, 2nd March 1882.

I do not know where the meetings were held.
