Eston Mines - Salvation Army (1882)



(Capt. Mellish) -The "Sappers and Miners" are going on to victory. Some of the worst characters are finding Salvation. Hallelujah!  Here are a few experiences. No 1. "I thank God that both me and my old chaps are saved. We are as happy as angels, and we have driven the devil out of the house." No. 2, "Thank God, the 'Hallelujah Sweep' is saved, and washed white inside." Our Holiness Meetings are grand and powerful times. Many are going in for the blessing of a clean heart. Sunday, we gained a glorious victory. Nine souls seeking at night, and many deeply wounded, making a total for the week of twenty-two precious souls. Hallelujah!

From, "The War Cry," page 3, 15th December 1881.

We had Staff Captain Evans here on Saturday, Sunday and Monday. She held Holiness Meetings, which were attended with power and blessing. We had a grand time right through, crowded congregations and offerings good. Praise God we are going on.

From, "The War Cry," page 3, 16th February 1882.

(Capt. Adelaide Haywood). -Soldier Ted writes;- "We are glad to tell you this Station is going up: glorious meetings. Saturday "Free and Easy," grand, four souls for Jesus. Sunday, grand meetings all day. Afternoon "Free and Easy", one brother said before he was saved, he was as wild as a cat in a garret. He used to go playing his cornet for the devil, now, thank God he is playing for Jesus. Hallelujah! Sunday night, Hall crowded, glorious meeting, five souls fell into the fountain. We are believing for all Eston. God bless Eston Sappers and Miners."

From, "The War Cry," page 3, 13th April 1882.
