Grantham - Salvation Army

GRANTHAN (Captain Shepherd), — Private Barratt writes: "Hallelujah, we are going up! We mean fighting on for Jesus! On Saturday night, we had a grand Free and Easy. Grand day on Sunday; good marches, glorious meetings. Theatre packed at night, lots could not get in; the power of God was with us. At the close of the meeting, eighteen precious souls left the devil's ranks and wept their way to Calvary.

From, "The War Cry," page 3, 12th January 1882.

(Capt. Henry Bullard).- Praise God! because He is stil giving us the victory here. Although the devil seems very quiet at present, God is saving nearly every night. We had a grand day on Sunday. A man came into the town on Saturday with his concertina, and stood in the Market, singing the songs of the devil, but on Sunday he got converted, and now he is singing and playing away at his concertina for the Lord. Another brother, giving his experience, said- "Friends, until I got converted I never went into a place of worship for eighteen years except once, when I went in to say 'I will.' We closed the day with twelve. We then formed into a procession, and marched to the Market Cross, where we finished up with a grand open-air meeting. People are complaining we take the babies, but we get so well rewarded for waking up sinners, that we do not mind waking the bables gratis.

I do not know where the meetings were held.
