Woolwich - Salvation Army

WOOLWICH (Capt. Drewery).-The past week has been a grand one. All our Soldiers are going in for the blessing. God is showing them they can live holy in their workshops, as well as in the meetings. Friday night at our Holiness Meeting, nine came out for the blessing. Saturday night we had a real Hallelujah Free-and Easy. Sunday we began at seven, Our Soldiers like these Hallelujah Breakfasts. Good meetings all day. Finished up with twenty-three in the fountain. Praise the Lord, we are expected to be all cleared out of our Sunday Hall at ten o'clock; but last night, when we were about closing, three more came out for Salvation. So the Hall-keeper gave us another half-hour. May the Lord reward him. We mean Woolwich for Jesus.

Woolwich has just had an eight days campaign of the right sort. Two grand Sundays, and a glorious week have been crowned with the Salvation and Sanctification of over fifty souls. The four Salvation lectures fired up the Woolwich Soldiers and roused the general public. The Lecture Hall, Nelson Street, was secured for the whole of the services. The congregations grew larger every night.

On Thursday, we had a very successful Holiness Convention, at eleven, three and seven. Mr Bramwell Booth (Chief of Staff) led the night meeting. The speaking was powerful and effective; the Spirit deeply at work, and a goodly number came out for the blessing...

The good done spiritually cannot be reckoned up.

I do not know where the meetings were held.
