Stoke Newington - Salvation Army

(Cadets) —Brother R. J. Rowlandson sends us another cheering report from here. A glorious week, with a sum total of ten at the Master's feet. Soul-saving work went on all day long. Hall crammed at night. They have a real Holy Ghost Holiness Meeting every Wednesday, at 7-45, to which they invite all Christians.

(Cadets). - Private R. J. Rowlandson sends us an account of the work here, as also Private A. W. Harper, which tells us that during the last fortnight the work has been rolling along gloriously. On Sunday week at the close of a well spent day, twelve sinners wept their way to Calvary. On Sunday afternoon Captain Rothwell led the meeting. At night eighty in the ranks. Inside meeting was led by Major Rose Clanham. At the close thirteen came to the Saviour.

(Cadets) - Secretary Rowlandson writes: We had a great Hallelujah Tea Meeting on Monday week. After tea, a grand procession ninety-seven in the ranks, and a Hallelujah Jubilee Meeting inside, led by Majors Howard and Clapham, and a large band of Cadets from both Training Homes, also Captain Young, from Headquarters, took part. Sunday was another grand day with us, about twenty-five at the seven o'clock prayer-meeting. Good open-air meeting at ten and two o'clock At eleven, good meeting inside, after which one sister came out for Salvation: also at the three o'clock Free-and-Easy, another soul came out. At six a grand procession, sixty-three in the ranks, Salvation Meeting inside, which closed with eighteen souis finding Salvation at the Saviour's bleeding feet.

-They are rising at this Station, more sinners being saved and believers quickened. Sale of War Cry on the increase, which is always an indication of a smart Captain and Corps, Last Sunday evening I had the opportunity of paying them a visit. Place full half an hour before time for commencing. When procession arrived from oper air, hardly room for those who had been fighting, but, by dint of squeezing, &c., we all managed to get standing or sitting room, leaving those who came after outsite, amounting to 200 or 300. We had a really good time, and while we spoke and sang everybody was convinced of sin. When we commenced the prayer meeting, no one seemed inclined either to move to the penitent-form, or leave the place, At Iast a little fellow came forward, then another and another; until we had twenty souls out weeping for Salvation. Among the number were four young fellows who had often been the cause of much annoyance and hindrance to our people, both in the open-sir and inside. Another, a young man who at first seemed as though nothing could move, but for whom a brother and sister had plead and prayed with in vain, but wept with him now as he sought the Saviour who he had slighted so long. Closed with a real Hallelujh praise meeting. Before leaving the Hall, found one dear young fellow, who had once loved the Saviour, but who now was really miserable. We got him to the Mercy-seat and prayed with him. Soon he was able to rejoice in a full Salvation. Left with shouts of victory, A larger Hall is much needed for our Sunday services. If you know of one send word.

CALEB.
