Apparently, it was "for the use of the people called Methodists". The Methodist Church was founded on the Wesley brothers' teachings.
My book used to belong to a Joseph G. Parker! Nice calligraphy, Joseph...

One more....
I forgot one! Well, in fact, I have many but this one is special. For my birthday last year, Tanya gave me a 1876 book of hymns written by John Wesley (brother to Charles). There is no music, so it is more like a book of poems. Small as the print is, I still do love reading them. There is a depth in their wording that we don't have these days.
