Reading edition
The Methodist meeting-house, erected, under the auspices of John Nelson, about the year 1751. The trouble, at this time, arose out of the demand of the trustees to elect, after Wesley’s death, their own preachers, and to order them to preach in Birstal chapel twice every Sunday, every Christmas Day, New Year’s Day, and Good Friday, and also every Thursday night. (See “Life and Times of Wesley,” vol. iii., pp. 373–383.)
