Guildford - Salvation Army

 (Capt Knight) - Brother Crocker writes:- "I arrived on Saturday evening just in time for open air March, quiet Crowds following In-side, Old Barracks packed. A real Salvation Army Free-and-Easy. Souls at tha close. Sunday seven o'clock Knee-drill; about fifty present. March at ten o'clock very good. Inside, full. Holiness Meeting: about forty out for a clean heart. Guildford Soldiers are going in for a clean-heart Salvation. Afternoon march, grand; great crowds following. Town all alive. Inside, crowded; a large number unable to get in. A blessed season and souls saved. Inside the Old Barracks again at 5.30; as many outside as in, crying out. Why not have a larger Hall that we may come in, too?" The meeting was a powerful one. Amongst the speakers for the evening was a well-known lady, Mrs Onslow (wife of Gulldiord Onslow, M.P.) We closed the day with thirteen souls at the feet of Jesus."

From, "The War Cry," page 3, 9th February 1882.

Another glorious week has just passed and perhaps the best week that our soldiers ever witnessed in Guildford. At last, we are again able to go out into the open air and by that means the workers is reviving and sinners getting saved nearly every meeting. We had a great time on Sunday, 22 professing to find Salvation. After the evening service, we had a “Hallelujah wind-up,“ when 100 testified to the saving power of the Saviour. One brother saying that, before the Salvation Army came, he felt like a Farthing rushlight, just possessing a slight glimmer of religion; but, praise God he now feels something similar to a furnace, all ablaze with glory. Hallelujah! The band is gaining ground, now numbering 20 members. The first Little Soldiers' Meeting was held on Saturday afternoon, over 60 being present and 36 came out and gave the heart of Jesus. Hallelujah!

GUILDFORD (Capt. Knight) -This past week has been one of the most blessed weeks that has ever been witnessed in this town. On Sunday night eleven came out to the Great Physician, and He healed them with the balm of Gilead. We are compelled to hold over some interesting experiences.

I do not know where the meetings were held.
