Hexham - Salvation Army

(Capt, Mabbits) - God has been saving and is still saving some of the worst drunkards of this town. Praise His dear name! We have ended the last week with over twenty souls in the fountain, and what we are trying to do, is to keep them living in the fountain and walking in the light when we have got them. Amen, so let it be.

From, "The War Cry," page 3, 19th January 1882.

(Capt Blount) —Private John Mills writes: "Since the new Captain came we have been going up. Many have left the ranks of devil, and enlisted under the blood-stained banner of the Cross. All glory to God. Sunday was a grand day; forty at seven o'clock Knee-drill. Glorious battles all day. Finished up with three prisoners taken for the Master. Our motto is "Hexham tor Jesus." Amen

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

I do not know where the meetings were held.
