(Capt. J. Lynn) -The past week has been a pleasant one to our souls. On Saturday we had our fruit banquet. A splendid time on Sunday, grand all day. Holiness Meeting, in the morning, a searching time. We felt the presence of our blessed Master. The Free-and-Easy in the afternoon was good, one brother said, "Dear Friends, I never thought the Lord would have anything to do with me; our Captain was telling you about that woman who had seven devils. Why, I believe there were seventy-seven in me, but the Lord has turned them all out, and Jesus saves me now." A sister, ninety-two years of age, thanked God that she was saved. At night we met at five o'clock, and about thirty of us went down before the Lord, and got filled with the Holy Ghost ready to attack the devil. Outside the enemy soon found it. They tried to sing us down, but, praise the Lord, we got the victory. The Barracks were full. We had to get in as best we could. Crowds had to go away. Inside a powerful time, and three precious souls stepped into the fountain.

(Capt Lawton) Saturday was our welcome tea here, and at night a real Hosanna Meeting. We shall never forget it; sinners are being convicted all over the village. I am glad to say the Spirit of God is laying hold of some of the worst characters. Tuesday night-was a glorious time, both to saints and sinners, it was a happy sight to see nine precious souls at the feet of Jesus.
