Fife Street Methodist New Connection church, Mount Pleasant - William Booth (1859)



The Gateshead prospects were indeed encouraging. During the past year, the membership of Bethesda Chapel had increased from 39 to 300, while the Sunday congregations filled the place. Revivals were also spreading in several of the outlying districts, such as Sheriff Hill, Felling Shore and Mount Pleasant.

From, 'Catherine Booth, Mother of the Salvation Army', Volume I, by Booth-Tucker, page 176.
