Northallerton - Salvation Army

(Capt. Wessberg) —This Station is progressing rapidly. The Corps numbers above 100 Soldiers principally composed of men in the prime of life, many of whom have fought hard in, but have now left, the devil's army. They are a fine, happy-looking lot of fellows, well fed and well clad. Just fancy how the tailors and provision dealers must rejoice. One hundred new suits of clothes instead of money wasted in drink. Hallelujah!

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

(Capt. Augusta Wessberg) -On Saturday night Mrs Dowdle was with us, and led the Free-and-Easy. Many testifled to what God had done for them since The Army came to this place. Next morning, at Knee-drill, the power of God came down. We had a good time and got our weapons sharpened for the fight. In the afternoon, Mrs Dowdle spoke with great power and at night three souls wept their way to Calvary. On Monday, we had a grand "go." The Majors and Captains trom the surrounding Stations were with us. The Zion Chapel was kindly lent to us for the afternoon Holiness Meeting, after which 600 sat down to tea in the Town Hall. We wound up with a glorious meeting in the evening.

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

I do not know where the meetings were held.
