(Captain W. Hodgson). -We can truthfully say, "The battle is the Lord's," and, though we have been most unmercifully treated, pelted, and buffeted, the natives are beginning to see that we mean "victory or death." At our Holiness Meeting on Friday evening, Col. Colvile spoke on "double and unjust dealing;" several surrendered their all to the King. The Rev. Mr Ryder also spoke. On Sunday we had a most triumphant day, from the first song at seven a.m. to the last note of praise at ten p.m., God was in the whole affair. One young woman's head, was quite a flower garden in the morning, but in the afternoon all her finery was demolished. The "Converted Potman" and the "Converted Infidel," from Hammersmith, were with us. In the Salvation Meeting the Soldiers laid hold of God in faith and prayer, and some, who have been the subject of many prayers and tears, came and knelt at the Cross, and groaned, and wept, and prayed, and believed, until God set them at liberty. Altogether nine precious souls were saved, making twenty for the week. The Holy Ghost is at work among the devil's chiefs. The chariot is rolling

(Capt. W. Hodgson).- The experience of a flourishing builder & foreman on Sunday evening was, "I am glad I came here," and his prayer, "I thank you, Jesus, for saving me" and nine others who felt just like him knelt with him all in a row, and such simplicity and faith as these ten manifested brings Heaven down to earth, makes angels rejoice and maddens devils, and sends ail true Salvation Soldiers on tiptoe for glory. So there was really no wonder that these Soldiers had a "Hailelujah Wind-up." Nearly 100 testimonies and quite a running fire was kept up till very late. The Soldiers plunging deeper, rising higher, and joyfully marching along, singing, "We shall conquer all," They have discovered that ripe fruit is found on the top of the fruit trees, so they are climbing up the tree of Life, scaling Pisgah's Mount and having a good view of the Promised Land. We will go up and possess it, for we are well able.

(Capt. Mold), Corporal Donce writes: On Monday, we had a glorious tea meeting. Cups and saucers were laid for 300. Captain Arthur Smith, Battersea, led the Hallelujah Meeting in real style. Several other Officers were with us, and the matron and cook from the Training Home. On Friday, Major Clapham led the Holliness Meeting. Fifty out for a ? Salvation. Sunday, good again. The devil roared. Admiral Fishborne and others spoke at night. Seven changed masters.

I do not know where the meetings were held.
