Pontypool - Salvation Army

Since our last report, God has abundantly blessed the Army in Pontypool. Souls have been saved every night. We started a little soldiers' meeting; over 150 first night. Glory be to God! We mean to roll the old chariot along in Pontypool. Publicans are crying out that the captain wants all the customers, as he is in all the public houses selling War Crys on Saturday night and said he does want them and with the help of God he means to have them drinking at the Fountain which never runs dry. Sunday, a grand day; a day which will never be forgotten by the soldiers in Pontypool. Morning, Holiness meeting; idols were given up for the Master, afternoon, glorious testimonies from the little soldier seven years of age to the dear old mother 92 years old who said she was a pilgrim bound for glory, a pilgrim who would soon be at home. At the close, four precious souls volunteered out for pardon. Night, crowning time of it all. Glorious march in the open air. Inside, Hall packed; God was felt in the midst and owned our labours by bringing 14 precious souls to Calgary. Oh it was glory in our souls as one after another came out for the Master and got saved and went home rejoicing.

(Capt. Bryan) —The past week has been a blessed time to our souls. Friday Holiness Meeting was a real red-letter day. Eight came out for the blessing of a clean heart. Sunday was grand all day, In the afternoon, we had an Experience Meeting; forty-five spoke for the Master. Night was the crowning time. Hundreds in the open-air, crowds following. Hall packed, convictions all over the place. We are praying and believing for a mighty breaking down here. On Monday night, at the Sisters' band Meeting, five souls came to the Mercy-seat.
