From our own Correspondent the piece contrasts the Established Church and Wesleyans, noting a shift to gentle entreaty after years of coercion, and laments Westminster Abbey monuments to Wesley and the Dean’s remarks. It then reports Glasgow census results showing Nonconformists outnumbering Establishment worshippers, questioning church strength and hints at disestablishment moves.
