WICK

The well-known Pilgrim Preachers arrived in Wick at the beginning of October 1921 and started holding meetings in the BaptistChurch, where the Rev. Millard ministered the Word faithfully every Sunday. Full of zeal for God, the evangelists held open air meetings at the foot of the cliff at the south end of the bridge. By their fearless proclamation of the Gospel and with bright singing souls were drawn to the meetings in the BaptistChurch, where fifteen or sixteen, mainly young people, professed salvation. God had begun to move in Wick.
