Jarrow - Salvation Army

(Captain Tom Bell). -Jarrow Corps, amidst storms and tempests, persecutions, and difficulties, is still holding the fort. Bless the Lord. The gold here hes deeply buried beneath hard rocks, not easy to be extracted; but, praise the name of Him who helps us, we have been able to win some precious souls for the Master. The past week has been one of mighty blessing, souls nearly every night. The week's record shows eight out for Salvation and four for purity. May God keep us living right, then the work shall go on! We are believing for great things.

From, "The War Cry," page 3, 24th November 1881.

(Capt Joan Cilfford).-Jarrow is recovering from its illness. We are having the Great Physician among us. It seems to me that no other doctor is of any use or service whatever. On Sunday night six souls professed to find pardon. We are looking for better days. The Soldiers keep saying and singing, "it's better on before."

I do not know where the meetings were held.
