(Captain McGrain): — Private Proctor writes: "Hallelujah! We are rising and the work of God is reviving, even in muddy Plaistow! One young man, who had persecuted The Salvation Army in his own town in Yorkshire came to Plaistow five months ago came out, after travelling 200 miles and is now singing and speaking for Jesus! Another young man, who had left a good home and tramped about the country, sleeping in "casualvwards," leading a vagrant life, found peace, nine months ago, in The Salvation Army, and today is a valiant Soldier of the Cross. A poor woman came to our meeting, three weeks ago, burdened with sin, but the Saviour met her at the penitent-torm and took her burden right away. The week after her husband came too, and he fell into the fountain, and together they now pursue the path which leads to life and glory."

(Capt. McGrain) Private H. V. Frost writes:—"On Sunday we had the Converted Sailor with us. We had a gloriously happy day to our souls; conviction all'over the place: and, at the close, two in the fountain, making five for the day. And we mean, by God's help to march with the Army home to Glory."

I do not know where the meetings were held.
