 * ... that the day they first met Calvin Wooster knocked his supervising elder to the ground by praying for him?


 * I've had this as a userspace draft for the last four years, but only moved it to the main space on the 8th, so I think it's okay. Wily D 09:16, 9 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Page is new enough and big enough. Hook is mostly in the article with reference but is a book, so I have to assume good faith. No plagiarism found, article is neutral enough. However it is unlcear there was any knocking to the ground happening, so I suspect the hook is sensationalising the event. so I propose alt1 Graeme Bartlett (talk) 08:21, 27 November 2012 (UTC)

 * Oh, my bad - the book is, in fact, available online now. I should've updated that before moving it to the mainspace.  I've linked it now.  Wily D  08:54, 27 November 2012 (UTC)
 * No bad there, since I can now confirm the online book, I have change grey to green tick. The source still does not say knocked, instead says that he received the baptism of fire. So I will still leave my alt1 hook. For the benefit of the next reviewer here is the public domain content of the reference. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 09:44, 29 November 2012 (UTC)

"When the Presiding Elder came into the house, he beheld these things with a mixture of wonder and indignation, believing that ' wild fire ' was burning among the people. After gazing for a time with silent astonishment, he knelt down and began to pray to God to stop the ' raging of the wild-fire, 7 as he had called it. In the meantime Wooster, whose soul was burning with the .fire of the Holy Spirit, knelt by the side of Brother Dunham, and softly whispered out a prayer in the following words : ' Lord, bless brother Dunham ; Lord, bless brother Dunham. ' Thus they continued for some minutes, when at length the prayers of Wooster prevailed, and Dunham fell prostrate on the floor and ere he rose, received a baptism of that very fire which he had so feelingly deprecated. There was DOW harmony in their prayers, feelings, and views ; and this was the commencement of a revival of religion which soon spread through the entire province. ' ' The other preachers caught the flame of divine love, and were carried forward under its sacred impulses in their Master s work."
