Newlyn - Primitive Methodists (1828)



At Newlyn a great revival of religion took place; many of the vilest sinners in the neighbourhood were- brought under its saving influence, and became new creatures in Christ Jesus.' A striking reformation was accordingly witnessed in their morals, — several who had been wont to "steal, stole no more." A gentleman said to one of the members, "I am glad the Primitive Methodists have come to Newlyn, for I have no need now to be at the expense of paying men to watch my fish." A large room, capable of containing five or six hundred persons, was procured for purposes of worship and was often crowded to excess.
