Secretary writes, "Thank God the work on here better than ever, and we are having glorious times. On Thursday, thirty sougt the blessing of a clean heart. On the following Sunday, being richly baptized with the Holy Ghost, expected great things, and, praise God, we were not disappointed, for, on giving out the invitation, the Mercy-seat was besieged with sinners, among others being big working men and their wives: we counted forty precious souls who had sought Salvation. Praise God forever. The "Converted Lawyer, Mr Greenaway who has been saved only eight weeks, and is leaving for Plymouth spoke with much power as he gave his farewell address. He thanked God with all his heart that ever he met with Captain Tom Payne. God is wonderfully working all over the neighbourhood; whole families are getting saved, and, during the past three weeks over one hundred souls have professed to find peace in believing on Jesus.

(Capt. Tom Payne).—Praise God! the work continues to rise here. Wonders have been wrought in the name of Jesus. Sinners, big and little, have found the Lord. He is no respecter of persons; for lawyers, lawbreakers, and Pharisees have sought and found Him here. Above all the "Chalk Farm Mystery" has been out for Salvation. On Sunday we had a grand time, Hall packed, hundreds turned away, thirty out for pardon. Brother Leedham and many others spoke with power.

...The General followed, and opened the pool, when a number were soon seaking Him, whom to know in life eternal. It was a grand sight to see them come sobbing down the aisles, led by some friendly hand.
Idols in various shapes were soon destroyed, and as the various seekers yielded up all, so the Lord of light and glory came and filled and flooded them with Himself. Oh, the rapturous joy of this last half-hour. It was indeed Heaven. The half-way house was reached, We were in the glory, doubts and fears all gone...
