Inscription
In
Affectionate memory of
Beloved
James Wright
Son-in-law of the late George Müller
And his successor in the directorate of
The Ashley Down Orphanage
Who fell asleep in Jesus January 29th 1905
In his 79th year
In his youth he trusted in our Lord Jesus Christ
For salvation
Since 1859 he laboured for God in the care of orphans
And during that time of service
10,741 Orphans were received and sheltered
And very many were led to Christ
An ardent lover and able expounder of the word of God
His ministry was widely blessed
Meek and lowly like his master the Lord Jesus Christ
He gave to him all the praise
For what he was and what he accomplished
Like Enoch
He walked with God Gen V 24
He pleased God Heb XI 5
He was not nor God took him Gen V 24
This memorial was erected
By the loving and spontaneous gifts
Of not a few of the orphans
Who were formerly cared for at Ashley Down
*
Ann Willington
The loving and loved wife of James Wright
Of Sydenham Hill Cotham
Who departed to be with Christ on the twenty second of *
In the Fort * Corner Age
*
The spirit of *
*the dead shall also *
Also in precious remembrance of
Lydia
Second wife of James Wright
Gentle tenderly loving unselfish and Christ-like
Who went to her Lord on January 10th 1890 Aged 57 years
In a bag used daily by her we found after her decease the following lines recently *
I have seen the face of Jesus Tell me not of aught beside
I have heard the voice of Jesus All my soul is satisfied
