Harwich - Salvation Army

(Capt Gibson) Victory! Victory! Victory!  is our battle cry at this Station.  Thank God, He is leading the brave 123rd on from conquering to conquer. Men and women are crying out for mercy and are getting the victory through the Blood. Sunday better seen than told. Marches, grand! Experiences short, powerful, clear, and to the point.

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

(Capt Gibson), -Bless God and the Lamb, for ever! We are still in the fight at this Station. We are not only willing to fight, but we have on our armour, that will stand the battering rams of the enemy or all the shots that come from the devil. Our soldiers turn out first-class, and not only turn out, but they intend to push the battle to the gate. No cases to try at the Police Court; that's something which is due to The Salvation Army, said a gentleman, the other day to one of his brother magistrates. Oh, Glory Hallelujah! Sunday was a day of power: our Barracks packed at night; doors locked. People anxious to hear of Jesus and His love but no room for them: Mrs Gibson, "The Gipsy", spoke and sang with power, while sinners wept their way to Calvary. We mean Harwich for Jesus yet.

From, "The War Cry," page 3, 23rd February 1882.

(Captain Gibson) We bless God for what He is doing at this Station. Although the devil is at work, the Lord is not forgetting to bear and answer the prayers of his children. This week has been glorious. Souls have been snatched from sin and Satan. 

From, "The War Cry," page 3, 9th March 1882.

(Captain Thomas Gibson) Sergeant Emerson writes: "We are having some glorious times here and the convincing power is working nightly among the people, and deep-dyed sinners and backsliders are weeping their way to Calvary. We have had souls almost every night this week; twelve have found peace since last Sunday morning. One night we had just begun our Experience Meeting when we found, to our heart's delight that sinners began to shake and tremble under the power of the Holy Spirit. Our Captain invited all those who were convinced of sin to come forward; the next minute two big men were at the Mercy-seat with broken hearts and weeping bittery on account of their sins. Some prayers were sent up to the throne of grace, and they both got gloriously through, and went away rejoicing. Both were Dutchmen, we belleve."

I do not know where the meetings were held.
