Kimblesworth - Salvation Army
Date: 1882 · Place: Kimblesworth, County Durham · Type: National well
(Capt. W. Reynolds) - Good times all the week. Our Soldiers at Kimblesworth have been having meetings, which are doing a great work. On Thursday, their place holding 300 people was packed, and they had sixteen in the fountain. On Sunday night, when marching back to the Barracks, word came that they were crowded out. We stopped the procession and told the people to go to other places of worship. When we arrived at the Barracks, we found scores standing outside. Shouts of praise rang through the streets. Captain and Lieutenant had hard work to reach the platform. Our Soldiers could not get in at all, so we went back to the Bridge End, our open-air stand, and had a good overflow meeting. We are taking the kingdom. Hallelujah!
From "The War Cry," page 3, 16th February 1882. (Chester-le-Street)
I do not know where the meetings were held.
