Partick - Salvation Army

(Capt. G. Deakin).—Since this Station has been opened upwards of five hundred have professed Salvation. Very few nights have passed over but what some have come out to the peniten-form. Partick is noted for being a rough shop, and so we have found. But God has been with us all along, and we are still rolling the old chariot along.

From, "The War Cry," page 2, 29th December 1881.

All the soldiers say it has been the best week Partick has ever seen, so writes the Captain. At this rate the fire will not be put out very soon. All day on Sunday it was one continued stream of joy and blessing, and ended well.

From, "The War Cry," page 2, 2 February 1882.

(Capt Deakin).-Thank God, In spite of all opposition, we are conquering here! We are having some hard fighting in the open air, but God is giving us the victory. We took our band into one  of the lowest parts of the town and very soon the enemy was hard at us. This was the height of ruffianism. While we were speaking to the people about their souls, they stoned us though we were dogs. We had heads cut, eyes cut, arms cut, bruised all over; and besmeared with blood we marched to the Hall.

From, "The War Cry," page 2, 9th February 1882.

(Capt. Gideon Deakin). -Wé have a splendid battalion of Soldiers here, who are willing to dare, and to fight. We have a brass band, and we are doing our best to drum the old enemy out of sin-stricken Partick. We had another triumphant day on Sunday. We finished up with the capture of seven rebels against their Maker and Master.

From, "The War Cry," page 3, 2nd March 1882.

I do not know where the meetings took place.
