Tredegar - Salvation Army

This is an excerpt from the second monthly report from the Salvation Army station here.

Still crowded to excess, both Sundays and weeknights. Some opposition and scorn on the part of the enemy, which seems to help the chariot along. Sisters Haywood and Pick write: "We had a blessed and mighty saving time all day Sunday. Processions good, and at night, while I was speaking in the Temperance Hall, which was very crowded (it will seat a thousand people), one dear man came running down from the gallery to the platform, crying for mercy. I had to stop at once, till he got gloriously saved, and then I finished speaking; after that, five more came out seeking mercy. One of these declared he had been the worst drunkard in Tredegar, that he starved his wife and children, and his home was like a little hell. Now it is a little Heaven.'' That day they had three souls at the 7 o'clock prayer meeting, three in the morning service, and six at night.

From, 'The Christian Mission Magazine', January 1879, pages 13-14

PRAISE God for what He has done through another month; it has indeed been one of victory and Joy. We have seen many weeping their way to Calvary and thank God they have not wept in vain; for the friend of sinners was there, and with the handkerchief of His love He has wiped their tears all away. Bless His dear name.

...We are having some glorious times. crowds can't get in. Wish the place was larger. Souls nearly every night. Sinners of the deepest dye have been saved. The devil is being defeated. God's dear name has been glorified.

From, 'The Salvationist,' April 1879, page 106/7.

(Capt John Leigh) —Hallelujah! Praise the Lord, this is the grand experience of the band of Soldiers at this Station. During the week, we have been on active service, the enemy has been defeated, prisoners taken, and shouts of triumph have resounded through our camp. The weapons lave been examined, and found to be en good condition for yet greater battles, Some folks supposed The Army was dead, but were greatly surprised to hear the battle cry as it sounded through some of the haunts of sin and aroused the inhabitants to prepare to meet the King, Our Soldiers are determined to fight. Inside at night, Barracks packed, sinners trembling, tears flowing. Closed the day with one soul - nine for the week.
