Chipping Sodbury - Salvation Army (1882)



I received orders to hold special services at this vilinge, on Saturday and Sunday. March 25th and 26th. They have a Hall that will hold 200, and I am glad to say it was packed in Salvation Army style. We have no Officer here at present, but there are a few warm-hearted people in the place and in the surrounding villages, who have been to the Old Circus, at Bristol, and the Spirit of God has shown them they are to go out into the highways, and compel people to come in to hear the Gospel. The Lord was with us in a special manner, Several of the worst drunkarde have been brought to the feet of the world's Redeemer, and were at the meetings speaking and singing for their blessed Master.

At the close of one of the happiest days the people say they ever spent,

"God came down our souls to greet, While glory crowned the Mercy-seat *

with four souls weeping their way to Calvary.

From, "The War Cry," page 4, 6th April 1882.
