(Capt. Richards). We have just caught a big fish, an old musician. On Sunday. it was good from seven am. to nine p.m. We had the Blind "Pilgrim" with us; Hall packed: Conviction all over the place; one soul. All persecution has disappeared; people think there is some reality about us after all.

This does not sound much, but the whole of the Salvation Army was in revival at this time.
(Capt. Richards) - In the strength of God, we are conquering all: in consequence of which, the prince of darkness is raging terribly. On Monday night, after a sin-killing day on Sunday, we had a grand march, headed by the brass band: Hall full. One of Satan's host tried to disturb us, but got miserably defeated. The old gentleman is a wonderful schemer; so he tried to beat us, by sending someone to smash the windows. But while that was going on outside, the Lord was using His great hammer inside, and, praise His name, broke some hard hearts. On Sunday, the parades were grand. People running in all directions, to hear the music and see our Soldiers in uniform, looking smart. Inside, place literally jammed. We finished up a glorious day.

(Capt. Wm, Richards) —Hallelujah! We have had some grand transformation scenes at this Station. The people who held up their hands highest with horror against our brass band being out on Sundays, are now deciding to go in for bands at their own places. Souls are getting saved neariy every night; we had eleven fresh recruits last week, besides a lot of deserters reclaimed. Public interest in our work runs higher now then ever it did: our processions are followed by hundreds. Hallelujah! Last week an aged man was so cut up on account of his sins that he could not walk to the form, but fell all in a heap in his seat. He got properly saved, and marched out with us yesterday. Our ranks are swelling every march. Lord keep us faithful: Amen.

I do not know where the meetings were held.
