Salford - Salvation Army

BALPORD (Capt. Sayers) — We are having some glorious times here. God's power in greatly felt in our meetings. On Wednesday night, ten poor sinners left the ranks of sin and turned to God, On Monday we marched with our new banner flying to Grosvenor Street to hear Mr Ballington Booth and the Major. When we got there, our hearts were full of the glory of God. Hallelujah!

(Capt. Sayers) Mrs Fielding writes, "By the request of our Major, my husband and I visited this Station, last Sunday night, to render a little help to our two dear sisters, whom we found very weak in body, but strong in the Lord and the power of His might. Since I last visited this Station, there has been a wonderful change wrought, both in members and the people. Glory be to God, for what He is doing here. At the close of the day, we rejoiced over eleven blood-bought souls weeping their way to Calvary.*

(Capt Milner).- Private J. Peppers writes: -God is still leading us on to victory at this Station. Souls are being saved, and God's name glorified. Hallelujah! Our Soldiers are full of fire and tell out of a full heart what God has done for them, and we are believing for still greater things. On Friday we had a grand Holiness Meeting, and we felt God's power among us. On Saturday night we had our Free-and-Easy: you should have seen both young and old getting up and testifying of God's saving power. Praise the Lord! we are going on.
