New Brompton - Salvation Army

Although the devil has used every means in his power to prevent it the work has broken out gloriously here. On the afternoon of October 21st I preached and four sought and found Jesus. On the 28th we had a mighty time - the Spirit of God took hold of the people and nineteen wept their way to Calvary. Hallelujah! The following Sabbath several others were seeking mercy, and on Wednesday, 4th, Miss Pollett preached, when eight others declared for Jesus. Amongst these was a dear lad, whose mother pulled him out of the hall by the collar and declared she would kill him if he went again to the ''Shakers." But, praise the Lord! he holds on his way, rejoicing in God, and praying for the salvation of his parents. The Lord bless these lads!

There are eighteen of them that are meeting with us, who, not very long ago, used to pelt us in the open air with mud and fireworks; but now they are to be found singing and praying in those very streets. All glory be to Jesus!

NEW BROMPTON (Capt John Woodcock).—

Sunday was a glorious day, both outdoors and in. At night, the people came streaming in from six o'clock, unti the place was soon full, so that we had to stop them coming in until the arrival of the procession, at half-past six, when in a few minutes the Hall was packed in every corner. During the whole of the meeting, the attention was such that the slightest move was not perceivable. Conviction went to many a heart: and at the ciose, five came forward, and gave their all to God! Glory to His name, they were speedily rejoicing over sins forgiven. We wound up with a Hallelujah Experience Meeting; when during the twenty minutes it occupied, 105 bore testimony to God's power to save and keep.

I do not know where the meetings were held.
