Devonshire - Scenes at Torrington

A wave of spiritual blessing is passing over the town of Torrington, North Devon.
The week of united prayer at the beginning of the year was devoted to
special prayer for a Revival. Denominational distinctions were
forgotten in the common desire for the Spirit's outpouring. The spirit
of the prayer grew in intensity and power, and so clear were the signs
of God's blessing, that the meetings have continued ever since, and
have increased in interest and enthusiasm. The town is being awakened
as never before. Those who had spoken against religion now make the
revival a topic of conversation. Already over 100 have made open
confession of Christ. As in Wales,
so here - it is a movement of the Spirit, and is an answer to long and
continued prayers. The Free Church ministers and over 200 of the
members and friends from various churches formed a procession and
marched through the principal streets. Several of the customers of the
public houses joined in and accompanied the friends to the Bluie
Christian Chapel, where an impressive gospel service was held. Short
mid-day prayer meeting are held each day and largely attended.
