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)- alt1 that the day they first met, Calvin Wooster caused his supervising elder to fall to the ground by praying for him?
- 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. WilyD 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.[1] 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.
