The Salvation Army began its campaign in Blenheim on the 3rd of August, 1884, when Captain McMillan and Lieutenant Teasdale conducted the opening services in Hewitt's Hall. Not long afterwards, the present “barracks” (a term that has recently been officially changed to “hall”) were erected. This building, which is of wood, faces Wynen Street, and has seat room for 550 persons; Towards the rear, a Junior Soldiers hall has been built in brick, at a cost of £600. The Salvation Army in Blenheim is in a flourishing condition, and has between seventy and eighty soldiers, in addition to recruits. Good work is done in connection with the Young People's Bible Class, which is well attended. The Blenheim district extends to Onamalutu, and the amount raised for the Self-Denial Fund in 1904 was £200. The corps has had seventy-nine officers since its establishment. Ensign H. P. Sharp is the present officer-in-charge.
