Lincoln - Salvation Army

(Capt. Nellie Seymour)-vLieut. A. Vernon writes,—"'The Saivation Army is bound to go along,' is no less true in Lincoln than all over England. We have beep having some glorious times here, and we are still belleving for souls. God has honoured our faith, and given us one or more souls every night. Sunday was, on the whole, a good day. The rain came down, and so did the glory, We had the "Converted Israelite," from Waddington, with us all day. Morning Knee-Drill, got well filled for the day. Eleven a.m., a real hallowing time. Afternoon, eighty-one testified of Jesus's power to save. Evening, God was with us, and backed the Word, and at the close we had to rejoice over one returning to the fold, while four sought pardon. All glory to Jesus!

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

(Capt. Seymour).  During the past week we have had some wonderful times: souls every night. Some who have been labouring under conviction a long time, have at last yielded to the strivings of God's Spirit and found a rest in Jesus the Saviour of the world. On Sunday night, the place was crowded in every corner, and many had to go away. We had a good time and at the close seven wept their way to Calvary.

(Capt. Cooper). "The Hallelujah Postman" writes: Praise God! This station is on the move. The Soldiers are still getting filled with glory. Big sinners keep finding their way to Calvary, and numbers are being added every day. Sunday was a red-letter day. The people followed the processions by hundreds, listening to the strains of a new brass band which headed the processions for the first time. We had the best open-air meeting ever known in Lincoln. While we were speaking, tears were flowing. One brother told us he had been in prison, and up to all that was bad; but now he's saved, and on his way to Heaven. Another said if it had not been for The Army, he should have been in bed drunk about that time: Night was an extraordinary time; the power of God setting sin-bound Slaves at liberty, Hallelujah!"

From, "The War Cry," page 3, 23rd February 1882.

 (Capt. Tom Cooper) —During the past four weeks great has been the improvement in this Station. One hundred and thirty souls have been added to The Army, besides backsliders reclaimed. We have also got a Brass Band In connertion with the Station. On the 16th Major Risdel visited us; the Soldiers met on the Cornhill. After firing into the enemy's camp, they formed in procession, and headed by the band, marched through the town to the Barracks, bringing a large concourse of people with them. Good meeting inside. Friday night's Holiness Meeting grand; numbers coming out for a clean heart. On Sunday it was a day of continued success.

I do not know where the meetings were held.
