King's Stanley - Salvation Army
Date: 1882 · Place: King's Stanley, Gloucestershire · Type: National well
(Capt Evans) Last Sunday, glorious day, grand procession in the afternoon. Soldiers full of fire, singing,
"We shall conquer all!"
Inside some thrilling testimonies from saved drunkards, gamblers, poachers and sinners of every description. At night place packed to excess. The 'Converted Publican' from Stroud told us how God had dealt with him and how he had been picked up out of the gutter of sin by the Salvation Army. We felt that truly God was with us. Many were convinced of sin. At the close one soul found peace.

(Capt. J. Evans),—Thank God we are more alive than ever here; battles are fought, and victories won, The devil is losing some of his best Soldiers. Sunday was the best day we have had; at the close of the morning meeting one man came out for Salvation. In the afternoon, we had a grand time. At night place packed shortly after six, a large number outside unable to get in; powerful time, some Soldiers spoke with power. At the close fourteen came out for Salvation, making eighteen for the week.
From, "The War Cry," page 3, 2nd March 1882.
I do not know where the meetings took place.
