Barrow-in-Furness - Salvation Army (1881-1882)



The enemy is being defeated and we are getting the victory gloriously. Crowded out on Sunday. 97 souls during the week and every chance of the whole town being shaken by the mighty power of God.

From, 'The War Cry', August 1881.

(Capt, Jackson).- Praise God, this has been a grand week to our souls. At our Sunday afternoon's Free-and-Easy, about 100 spoke of God's saving and keeping power. At night. the Barracks were crowded in all parts. Very good order, and the policemen very kind. God bless them. The Captain and Lieutenant, and several comrades, took part in the meeting, and spoke with great power. The Word did not return void, but, praise God, twelve came out for Salvation, and went home rejoicing in a sin-pardoning God. God bless and save Barrow.

From, "The War Cry," page 3, 8th December 1881.

(Capt. Jackson).- On Saturday afternoon, Major Taylor, with the Captain and Soldiers from Dalton, came to Barrow for a Holiness Meeting. We had a grand time, about fifty out for the blessing of a clean heart. A good time at night, 140 gave their experiences to the saving and keeping powers of Jesus, and at the close four souls came to the Saviour. Sunday, a good day, Soldiers came up filled with God. At night, the Theatre was packed with the right sort of people, our Soldiers took hold of God, and sixteen souls came to the Master's feet. We have a good band of men and women here, who are real "Blood and Fire" Soldiers, and we are believing for greater victories.

From, "The War Cry," page 3, 29th December 1881.

The meetings were held in the amphitheatre with regular crowds of over 2,000 in January 1882.
