I couldn't find this record in July 2024. I hadn't saved the link
There are two books of records for the Methodist Church in Burnham at ancestry.com.
Ancestry.com. Pennsylvania and New Jersey, Church and Town Records, 1669-2013 [database on-line]. Lehi, UT, USA: Ancestry.com Operations, Inc., 2011.

I looked at all 118 images of the earlier book, the one with 118 images. The menu entry says United Methodist Church Burnham Charge and the book itself says 1868 to 1888
I looked at the first 18 images of the later book, the one with 170 images. The menu entry says United Methodist Church and the book itself says 1888 to 1900.
