The opening of the new Salvation Temple in this place on Sunday February 5th, was marked with great success by a Knee-drill at seven a. m. which was well attended, there being over 500 present.
The meetings throughout were well attended, and proved to be a season of blessing to many souls, At 10.,30, Captain Williams, his daughter, and Lieutenant Medlin, accompanied by some hundreds of people, marched through the town; returning afterwards to the Temple, where a Holiness Meeting was held.
At 2. 30, there was. another meeting, held. The Temple was literally packed, hundreds being unable to gain admittance.
At the evening meeting several left the enemy's ranks, and enlisted under the banner of King Jesus Hallelujah|

A gentleman says the Salvation Army is a humbug; they are come to turn the town upside down. Oh, hallelujah! That is just what the Lord is going to help us to do. Temple crowded every night, hundreds cannot get in. Everything in good order, police very kind. 40 prisoners taken in the past week – some of the worst drunkards in the town. Free and Easy on Saturday night, grand time which will never be forgotten in Camborne, when 32 testified for the Master.
Sunday, at 7 am glorious time; 115 present. Grand open-air meetings, Town all of a stir. Temple crowded all day, hundreds could not get in. Evening, penitents rushing to the feet of Jesus and getting gloriously saved. Every society in the town seems to be roused and are holding special services and souls are being saved. They say it is through the Army coming to Camborne.

(Capt. Williams) — This Station has only been opened a month, and about a hundred have professed to have been saved. Notwithstanding the devil has been raging in the last week, and has tried hard to stop our work yet, praise God, we have been more than conquerors through Him that loved us. We are still golng ahead.

(Cape William Willams).-
The old charriot is rolling along here in good style. The devil's kingdom is shaking and the kingdom of our Chust is being extended. God's own people are putting their all upon the altar, and are uniting together to destroy the powers of darkness, and, best of all souls are being saved at almost every meeting. Hallelujah! The afternoon meetings in the week are glorious, and the Temple is packed every night. Some Church folk have got saved, and caught the fire, and as for the publicans, they are crying out a great deal and one has said he has gone back on his taking £6 a week. Praise the Lord! We mean to have them all shut up soon. God is blessing us, and we are marching on to victory.
