    The Life And Ministry Of George Wright

    The ancient town of Beccles. the scene of the ministerial labours of the late George Wright, is pleasantly situated on the banks of the river Waveney by which it is bounded on the north and west. In this far-famed locality the Strict Baptists have long flourished; and today the cause of truth, under the pastoral care of our brother H. L. Colls, appears as united, happy, and successful as ever. To God be all the praise.
