Port Glasgow - Salvation Army
Date: 1882 · Place: Port Glasgow, Renfrewshire · Type: National well
(There are reports every week in January/February 1882, but no details of Salavations)
Glasgow I
(Capt. Newton). We have had a monstre meeting of reclaimed drunkards in the City Hall, Glasgow. All the newspapers have given splendid accounts of it, and an occasional correspondent sends us a very interesting report of it, which appears in our Scotch Special Edition," which is issued every week.
Glasgow II
(Capt. Dobson) -During the past week it has been glory in our souls. Nearly every night we have heard the cry, "What must i do to be saved?° During the week, twenty-five have been born anew into the Saviour's kingdom. Sunday was a good day; sinners crying for mercy, and saints rejoicing. Out-door meetings, and inside full of life, and power; Victory on all sides.
From, "The War Cry," page 3, 2nd March 1882.
God is doing a mighty work here through Captain Kent and Lieutenant Baird. We hear of over 400 souls having professed Salvation within the last few weeks. We visited the Corps on Friday night last for a Holiness meeting and had previously given instructions that none but Christians and young recruits would be admitted. Notwithstanding this, the Hall was nearly full upstairs and down. Some good testimonials were given and altogether we were highly gratified with our first visit to Port Glasgow.
From, 'The War Cry', October 1882.
