Portadown - Salvation Army

(Capt, Pollard): - This Station continues to advance: the * Blood and Fire Soldiers are filled with zeal for God and His kingdom, and the glory comes among us and gives us some good times. On Monday we had a great Anniversary Tea, some 600 sitting down. We had a fine time, and the number of happy faces present showed how God had used The Army in this place. After tea a good Hallelujah Praise Meeting was led by Captain Harry Glover assisted by other Officers, and Major Reynolds took command of a large Overflow Meeting in the open-air. After which we had a Half-Night of Prayer and a powertul time to our souls when great work was done. These Half-Nights of prayer are very valuable wheels in the old chariot. Oh! for more of them over the country.

(Capt Pollard).- On Saturday afternoon, we had a powerful open-air meeting in the Market Place. While our Soldiers spake, we felt that God was with them, and the people listened with breathless attention to what was said. Oh! may God grant the Salvation of some of those present. On Sunday we had a good day; the Barracks were packed at night and at the ciose, 130 testified to the saving and keeping power of God.

I do not know where the meetings were held.
