The illustrated history of Methodism [electronic resource]; the story of the origin and progress of the Methodist church, from its foundation by John Wesley to the present dayWritten in popular style and illustrated by more than one thousand portraits and views of persons . , in 1763 or 1764, he made Terry -hugan his headquarters, a town which was the center of the work in the dis-trict. At Wesleys first visit the peopleof Terryhugan had heard him gladly,and had built for him and his itinerantsa hut, the floor, walls, and ceiling ofwhich were all of mud. It was nine feetlong by seven and a half broad and sixhigh, and the furniture consisted of aclean chaff bed. Truly a primitive lodg-ing; but it pleased Wesley. At the firstearly five oclock preaching all the in-habitants of the place turned out to hearhim, and in the audience was a womanwho had walked seven miles with herten-days-old baby in her arms that Wes-ley might baptize it. This was the be-ginning of a hearty Wesleyan commun-ity, where Strawbridge found himselfin congenial society It furnished himwith a wife—a Miss Piper—who, in 1765or 1766, sailed with her husband forAmerica. There, at vSams Creek, inMaryland, they began a work which wasto grow like the mustard-seed of Scripture. ?? \%\\ HUJ i ill MM iUJ * IIiSJliL ! iklM FRANCIS ASBURY (174;
