Coatbridge - Salvation Army (1880-1882)



Since we started our meetings here on the 14th of June there has been great good done. God's children have been aroused out of their sleep and souls crying for mercy. Bless the dear Lord, He is leading us on to victory. Grand marches through the town. The Army receives every kindness here. The Temperance Hall is well filled every night. Oh, how we long to see the Army stationed here, to pull the Devil's kingdom down. Hallelujah!

From, 'The War Cry', July 1880.

(Capt. Newton). - The work here, as all over Scotland, is going on gloriously. Many are now living on the suny side of the way here, climbing the hill of prosperity and Holiness. Some of the Soldiers now talk about having savoury meals at home, which was a rare thing before The Army came, and at the meetings they feed upon Christ as the Bread of Life. Many are glad that ever they began to cut off the Salvation Army loaf. So are their wives and children. Souls are coming in shoals to Jesus, and God is getting all the glory.

(says shoals, but they never mention numbers)

From, "The War Cry," page 2, 15th December 1882.
