(Capt. Mrs Smith) -They are still marching along here. The processions were so violently attacked, that the magistrates issued orders forbidding them, but they went out all the same, led by the "Hallelujah Undergraduate." a student of Ballial College, who was converted the second Sunday we opened here. They had terrific fighting that day; the roughs most turbulent, but they held on to God, and gained the victory, with eighteen souls.

Our meetings all day on Sunday were packed, morning, noon, and night. Our Soldiers came well filled with the Holy Ghost, all believing mighty things, and, praise God, were not disappointed. God sent the power down in a remarkible manner, as He always does when we hold on to Him, and we finished up the day with fifteen at the Master's bleeding feet. Some came down with the intention of making game, I got to know this, and God seemed to fill me with the Holy Ghost, and gave me courage to teli them so. Then I prayed with them and before they got off their knees, thay were, I believe, soundly converted to God.
Capt. L. SMITH.

Then off we go again through village after village, watching for each milestone, until we reached Oxford sometime in the afternoon. Then after a short rest, off to the "Old Rag Mill" where all sorts of sinners are being turned into saints. There we saw a sample of what The Salvation Army is doing. Captain Smith led the meeting and turned some big guns on to the enemy, and when the form was cleared, seven came rushing to the front. Shouts of " Glory and Amen" went up to God, and at the close of the meeting, nineteen souls had found their way into the fountain that washes whiter than snow. Sunday, seven am., thirty-six at Knee-drill. At eleven, Holiness Meeting, grand; one out for the blessing. Hall-past two, at it again. Soldiers firing off all over the place; six out for pardon at the Mercy-seat three prize-fighters among the number. To God be all the glory. Good meeting at night. Ten more stood up and professed Salvation. Hallelujah!

I was here on Friday, March 10th. We had a good start; the wind blew from the right quarter, and one soul.
On Saturday, grand testimony and five souls.
On Sunday morning the Meeting will never be forgotten. This was a time of real heart-rending and seeking inside; at the close the table was filled, and a large square of forms, with anxious souls, until Brother Stonehill said to me. "We've got just half a hundred, but six others make fifty-six forward for full Salvation.
In the afternoon, four souls come forward for forgiveness of sin.
But the night Meeting crowned the day, by thirty-nine adult people at the penitent-form, making ninety-nine forward for the day.
An Overflow Meeting had been held, conducted by Lieutenant Windsor. I was told, at least, three or four hundred were outside, while Captain Smith, the Soldiers, and myself, were going on inside. Well done Oxford. Commissioner Corbridge.
From, "The War Cry," page 2, 23rd March 1882.
I do not know where the meetings were held.
