Opened Oct 1881.
(Captain Jim Rylance).—On Friday, November 4th, we had Majors Corbridge and Taylor with us; we had a blessed time. The large Hall was crowded with men and women eager to hear the glad tidings of Salvation. On Monday night last, after a powerful meeting, fifteen souls fell into the fountain; and, on Sunday night, we had another powerful time. As the people listened and drank in the Word, the tears were seen to run down their cheeks, and, although only seven souls came to be healed, we were convinced that many went away wounded, and we are believing that they will soon come and surrender to the King. We had seven souls for the day, making over fifty for the fortnight. A Northwich Soldier, who was with us, did us good service in the Hallelujah Meeting; forty-five spoke in about ffteen minutes. One said he had not been in a place of worship for ten years until The Salvation Army came, and he was glad it ever did come. Our Soldiers are beginning to testify with power. We are believing that God is going to raise up a real "Blood and Fire" band here. Amen!

Sunday was a red-letter day, our soldiers say the best we have had yet. Although the rain poured and the wind blew our Barracks were crowded. Four souls sought Salvation in the afternoon and eight at night, making over 30 for the week. We finished with a Hallelujah “fire away” all around, when 85 testified in 20 minutes.

(Capt, Rylance).-Glory be to God, we are still going ahead. Sunday was a blessed day. Although the wind blew, and the rain and snow descended, we had some blessed times. At night, we had a powerful meeting, when fifteen fell at the bleeding feet of Jesus. Wound Up with a "Hallelujah go." amid the singing and shouting, and waving of handkerchiels we feit it was glory in our souls.

(Captain Rylance),--Hallelujah! we are ahead. Sunday was a grand day. Crammed in the morning at seven, over 122 on their knees, pleading for sinners, and forty-seven testimonies before breakfast. Meetings and marches grand throughout the day. Barracks crowded in the afternoon; had to lock the doors and turn some away. At night both Barracks crowded, scores more turned away for want of room. Finished up with twenty-two souls, Hallelujah! More to follow.
