. The origin and history of the primitive Methodist Church . CK. * Communicated by , p. ). W. R. Widdowson. For • to Hockley Chapel, see THE PERIOD OF CIRCUIT PREDOMINANCE AND ENTERPRISE. 469 The Rising of the Temperance Star. The simplest way of dealing with the allegation that John Stamp was expelledbecause of his teetotalism would be flatly to deny it, as John Flesher did. Hemaintained—and rightly—that it was not true, and could not possibly be true; thatin face of the attitude taken by the Connexion as a whole to the Temperance question,such an allegation was preposterous ; that any one who could believe it would go onbelieving it, despite all proofs adduced to the contrary. So let us leave this particularallegation on one side for a moment, while we consider the gradual advance in theTemperance sentiment of the Connexion which, beginning about 1830, had by themiddle of the century become very pronounced.
