Grimsby - Salvation Army

GRIMSBY I. (Capt Downey): On Sunday night, long before the time to begin, the Barracks were full: splendid order. Brother Cooper who was leaving the town spoke with power and told how that through the Army he was going home saved and happy: then "Happy Charley" sang a song, which brought the glory down, then Captain Byford, who had paid us a visit, followed with a few red-hot shots, and as the folk swayed to and fro under the power of God, we made sure of a big haul, but only five came out, all big men. Hundreds going away under conviction. We closed with real Hallelujah "go".

GRIMBBY II (Capt Gardiner),--Praise God, We are having glorious times at Grimsby, God has been blessing us this past week. The devil rages, but we are determined to fight till God gives us the victory. On Sunday, three souls came to the feet of Jesus.

GRIMSBY I

(Capt. Downey) Sunday was a grand day. We began at 7 a.m., when two stepped onto the fountain, praise God. Open-airs good, but better inside. At half-past six we met to say farewell to the people we had loved and worked with us for over seven months. Thank God, nine more said good-bye to the devil, and promised to meet us in Heaven making nineteen for the week.

GRIMSBY I

(Capt. Moynes),— We are having some splendid times here, God is in our midst, making bare His arm in the Salvation of precious souls, and blessing His people abundantly. We had an outpouring of His Spirit on Friday night, real good time, ten came forward for the blessing. One sister knocked down by the power of God was carried home, overcome by the glory, and remained in that state about four hours viewing the land. Glory to His blessed name! Good meetings all the week. Closed with twenty-two souls. Hallelujah!

I do not know where the meetings were held.
