Hinckley - Salvation Army
Date: 1882 · Place: Hinckley, Leicestershire · Type: National well
HINCKLEY (Capt. Hughes).- We are still pressing forward and fighting for King Jesus. On Sunday we had glorious times: Souls at the Mercy-seat. We have a lot of "Blood and Fire" Soldiers here, who get up and tell out of a full heart what the Lord has done for them. One dear brother said, "They say I am gone mad, but if this is what they call going mad, I wish I had gone mad long ago."
From, "The War Cry," page 3, 19th January 1882.
Awful riot, major knocked down; ranks broken; Barrack windows smashed. Captain and Lieutenant crushed. Soldiers ill-used. The police would not interfere. No meetings. Wire advice.
To-day's telegraphaph, "Good news from Hinckley. Police cleared the streets. Hall full; good order. Fifteen souls. Better prospects than ever. Hallelujah! victory is ours.
From, "The War Cry," page 2, 23rd March 1882.
I do not know where the meetings were held.
