Nelson - Salvation Army (1881-1882)



(Capt. Jones) —At our Saturday's Free-and-Easy we had some good testimonies. One, who when picked up by The Army, was a poor drunkard, so lost that he would often sell his clothes off his back to obtain liquor, testified how Jesus had saved him, turned him "right about face", and made him happy. Hallelujah! He is now a Soldier in God's army. On Sunday we had a glorious day. Many left tha ranks of the enemy and came over on the Lord's side. More to follow.

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

Captain (Hawker Jones) -During the past week we have had some glorious times and our Lieutenant has been with us. A good Free-and-Easy on Sunday. One of our comrades said that one night he heard of one in the open air, who got wounded, and had to come to the Great Physician for healing. Sunday it was rough in the procession, but we fired some true Gospel shots, and had good times inside; we felt it to be glory in our souls.

From, "The War Cr,y" page 3, 9th February 1882.
