Gift of Tongues" Given to Christians in India *> • m A; €7 'J 'iV-.l v.n W", •?'$ A Kedgaon, India.--I have stumbled upon &u extraordinary religious man­ ifestation, as remarkable as anything In connection with the great revival In Wales. So startling and wonderful is It that I feel quite unwilling to pass an opinion upon it, so I shall simply narrate, soberly and consecutively, what I have geen and heard concern­ ing this "baptism with fire," and pour­ ing out of "the gift of tongues," where­ by ignorant Hindu girls speak in Sanskrit, Hebrew. Greek, English and other languages as yet unidentified. The name of Pandita Ramabai, "the Hindu widow's friend," is known among educated people all orer the world. Sh» is the most famous of all Hindu women. There Is an Interna­ tional "Pandlta Ramabai association," which cooperates with her In her work of rescuing, training and caring for . high caste widows. She, more than any other woman, has made known to the world the horrors of the child widow's lot In India. Herself a high caste widow, of rare gifts a$d educa­ tion, her appeal has been made to peo­ ple of culture; nor was her wdrk re­ garded as strictly religious or mis­ sionary, not being associated with any religious body. A World-Famous Work. '• Ten years ago, at the time of the, great famine, Ramtfbai took hundreds of famine orphans, and ever since she has had about 1,400 widows and or­ phans and deserted girls under her care, as well as 100 famine boys. A.11 caste lines are now down, and the whole immense work is known as the Mukti mission, although in certain re­ spects the original enterprise for widows maintains lis separate iden­ tity. Because of the fame of Pandlta Ramabai, and because of the great­ ness of her work, I conceived it to be nay duty to take the hot journey out to Kedgaon. Were it not for the more it incidents which follow, I floor. £$ome were sitting on their feet, with shoulders and bodies twitch­ ing and jerking in regular convulsions. Some were swaying to and fro, from side to side or frontwards and back­ wards. Two or three were kneeling upright, with arms and bodleB moving, One young woman, the loudest, moved on her knees, alt unconsciously, two or three yards during the time 1 watched. She had a motion of her body that must have been the most exhausting physical exercise. She, like others, also swung her arms vio­ lently, often the gestures of the pray­ ing figures were with one or both hands outstretched, in dramatic sup­ plication. Not Infrequently, several girls would clap their hands at the same time, though each seemed heed­ less of the others. At times1 the con­ tortions of the faces were painfully agonized and perspiration streamed over them. One girl fell over, asleep or fainting, from sheer exhaustion. All had their eyes tightly closed, ob­ livious to surroundings. Such intense and engrossing devotion I had never witnessed before. It was full 15 min­ utes before one of the girls, who had quieted down somewhat, espied me. Thereafter she sat silent, praying or "reading her Bible. The discovery of the visitor had this same effect upon half a dozen other girls during the next quarter of an hour. At my re­ quest the guide after a time asked the leader if I might talk with her, and while a dozen of the girls were still left, praying aloud and unaware of the departure of the others, the leader withdrew. A Strange Story. My first interest was to know wheth­ er the girls had been "speaking with tongues"! that day, for I had thought that I detected one girl using English. Yes, several of the girls had been praying in unknown tongues, this young woman quietly informed me. Then, in response to my questionings, - • v t ' < 1g* Pandlta Itamabal Dengre Medhavl. should tell at some length the story of this great settlement, with its wide acres of farm land, its many modest buildings, and its varied forms of in­ dustry. Study and work are the rule for every girl; clothes for that multi­ tude must all be woven on the spot, and the industrial plant is large. An uncommunicative English woman guided me faithfully to every spot of the settlement that she thought of in­ terest, from the cornerstone to the steam engine and the dying vats. But not a word did She say that would lead me into a knowledge of what i» by all means the most noteworthy fact concerning this famous institution. Stumbling on a Revival. Of course, I was aware of the un­ usual religious experiences reported frota many Christian communities in India; but I had never associated this sort of thing with Pandita Ramabai's work; probably because some of her foremost supporters In America are identified with the "new theology" which has scant room for the camp meeting type of "old-time religion." My first clew was a pamphlet which I * chanced to pick up, relating strange spiritual experiences on the part of some of Ramabai's girls. I began to ask questions, which were answered, I thought, with seeming reluctance, and discovered that this revival was still under way. For half an hour I had been hearing strange sounds, now of one person shouting in a high voice, now of the mingled utterance of a crowd, and now of song. At last It settled down into a steady roar. "What is that I hear?" I asked. "It is the girls' prayer meet­ ing," was the answer. "Could I visit it?" I pointedly asked my guide, after bints had proved unavailing. "Why-- I--suppose--eo. ril see." In a few minutes I found myself witnessing a scene utterly without parallel la my ' experience of religious gatherings. A Tumult of Praying Girls. ,1a a large, bare room, with cement mr, were gathered between 30 and 40 girls, ranging in age from 12 to 20. By a table sat a sweet-faced, refined, native young woman, watching sober­ ly, attentively and without disapprov­ al the scene before her. After a few minutes she also knelt on the floor in silent praver. Tits ^ other occupants of the room were all praying aloud. Some were erying at the top of their lungs. The tumult was so great that it was with difficulty that any one voice could be * distinguished. Some of the girls were "• JT- 1 ;"J ' •• 'A- .-J*£#•,„' . * she proceeded to tell me that these meetings a*e held twice daily by girls who have been "baptised with the Holy Spirit and hre;it is common for them to speak in tongues which they do not understand, and a]po to be smitten dumb, so that they cannot speak at all, even in their own lan­ guage. During the- early part of the meeting at which >. was present, one of the girls had been obliged to write her message, because her tongue was holden. Sometimes the girls will go about their tasks for days, unable to utter a word, although they under­ stand perfectly everything that is said to them, and are able to pray in other tongues, and when they especially pray for the power to do so they are able to speak in religious meetings. The girls show no effect whatever of the terrible strain they undergo dur­ ing these prayer meetings, and they all do their regular daily work. The burden of their prayers is intercession, that all the mission, and all India, may be converted and experience a great revival and receive the Pente­ costal baptism. So much I learned from this young woman. The Most Famous Indian Woman. Ramabai herself is a quiet, strong personality. She dresses after the Hindu fashion, but in white, and her hair is short, for she Is a widow. She elects to sit on a low stool at the feet of the person with whom she con­ verses, for the eakfe of better hearing. Whfle we were talking her grown daughter, Monoramabai, her first as­ sistant in the work, sat on the floor with her arm about her mother, and occasionally Interjected a pertinent word. Ramabai (the suffix "bal," means 'Mrs." or "Miss") speaks sim­ ply, naturally and directly. So she told me of the growth of Shadai Sa- dan, the work for widows, and one of the Mukti mission, the whole support­ ed by faith "We tlo not make a special point of the gift of tongues; our emphasis ia always put upon love and life. And undoubtedly the lives of the girls haVe been changed. About 700 of them haVe come into this blessing We do not exhibit the girls that have been gifted with other tongues, nor do we In any wise call special attention to thein. We try to weed out the false from the true; for there are other spirits than the Holy Spirit, and when a girl begins to try to speak In another tongue, apparently imitating the other girls, without mentioning the name or blood of Jesus, I go up to her and h#r, or toaefc h*r'"e« Um -j* " shoulder, and ehe stops at once; hereas, if a girl Is praying in tne spirit I cannot stop her, no matter how sharply I speak to her or shake her." The Wonderful Gift of Tongues. "My hearing is peculiar," continued Ramabai, "in that I can understand most clearly when there is a loud noise (a well-known characteristic of the partially deaf) and I move among the girls, listening to them. I have heard girls who know no EngJiah make beautiful prayers in English. I have heard others pray in Greek and He­ brew and Sanskrit and others in lan­ guages that none of us understands. One of the girls was praying in this Very room (the room of one of the English staff) a few nights ago, and although in her studies she has not gone beyond the second book, she prayed so freely and clearly and beau­ tifully in English that the other teach­ ers, hearing, wondered who could be praying, since they did not distinguish the voice." "Yes," spoke up the occu­ pant of the room, "and she prayed by name for a cousin of mine whom I had forgotten, and of whom I had never once thought since coming to India." When I asked why, in ̂ Ramabai's opinion, tongues that Berved no useful purpose being incomprehensible to everybody should be given, whereas the gift of tongues on the day of Pen­ tecost was so that every person in that polyglot multitude should hear the story in his own speech, she re­ plied, "I, too, wondered about that. But it has" been shown to me that it is to rebuke unbelief in the gift of tongues, she herself has been given the gift" All these wonders I have set down impartially, as phenomena of great interest to all who give thought to re­ ligious or psychic themes. Neither Ramabai, nor the native teacher who led the meeting which I described, is an emotionalist, so far as I could per­ ceive. Both, in fact, are persons of more than ordinary reserve, culture, and discernment, nor can I explain the relation between what Is happen­ ing at Mukti and the revivals that are being reported from various parts of India, most of them characterized by astonishing confessions of sin, on the part of Christians and by prolonged and even agonized prayer, with pro­ nounced physical emotion. Making Presbyterians Dance. There has been a pronounced phys­ ical side to the demonstrations, as i found at Kedgaon. Entire audiences have shaken as if smitten with palsy, strong men have fallen headlong to the ground. Even lepers have been made to dance. Leaping, shouting, rolling on the floor, beating the air and dancing, have been common. Con­ cerning dancing, Bishop Warne said, "Personally, I have not seen much of the dancing; that Is reported as most­ ly having taken place in Presbyterian churches!" It is a fact that the dig­ nified Presbyterians, even the Scotch church missions, have been foremost in these revival experiences. The revival h*s continued in various parts of the empire for more than a year; I have reports from Lucknow, Allahabad, Adansol, Moradabad, Bare* illy, Khassia Hills and Kedagaon. The Methodists baptized 1,900 new con­ verts during the year, besides the notable result of having secured more than 300 new candidates for the min­ istry. Dramatic in the extreme haVe been the confessions of sin, and restitution therefore, and the reconciliations be­ tween enemies. Everywhere there is agreement that the lives of the people have been mark­ edly altered for the better. "The revival," says one, "has given India a new sense of sin." The spontaneous composition of hymns has been a curious feature of some meetings; Bishop Warne thinks that "there will be a new hymnology In the vernacu­ lar as an outcome of this revival." While columns more could be writ­ ten concerning incidents of this re­ vival, there is only room here to add that it must not be assumed that all of India is being stirred by these events. Many churches and missions aro strangers to them, and the Euro­ pean population of the country as a whole know nothing about them. Yet it Is the conviction of those who claim to have received the Pentecostal bap­ tism that all of India Is to be swept by a fire of religious revival. Some even say that they have been given direct supernatural assurance of this fact (Copyright, by Joseph B. Bowles.) NO LIVING IN THE PRESENT. THE CAVE DWELLERS v < , < , 1 t <«' x " i A® BAD.

Smith of the archaeological department of the American Museum of Natural His­ tory, yielded fresh knowledge concern­ ing the prehistoric days in America. Quarries covering many acres and similar quarries In seven other places in the states have been discovered which give fragmentary evidence of the existence of a race of people ages ago. Hundreds of stone circles mark­ ing prehistoric sites of large vil­ lages have been found, some of them j covering acres and numbering scores j of circles, also several cave dwellings, rock inscriptions and a new type of steatite dish. It was round by Mr. Smith that the Indians had treated the buffalo as on? cowboys do cattle--in other words, I that the Indian had been practically a wild cowboy " who hunted wild cat­ tle called buffalo or American bison, and that our cowboys are tame In­ dians who hunt tame buffalo called cattle. He brought back from Wyoming to the museum eight boxes of speci­ mens of the handiwork of the prehls toric people of the plains, a large number of photographic negatives, and a mass of field notes and Infor­ mation about places he saw as well as of things of which he was told, but which there was no time to visit. "Among the problems to be solved," said Mr, Smith, "t£e following may be mentioned: When did man first ap­ pear in the region? Judging from the results of exploration in other places, It may take many years of the com­ bined efforts of all who are interested before extensive evidence on this point is discovered. What was the culture of these first inhabitants? Was there more than - one -culture In the area, either at various places or during different periods? How was the cul­ ture affected by the Introduction of the horse? No doubt the coming of the horse to a people whose only beast of burden was the dog caused a great advance in their general cul­ ture, as it would enable them to travel further In search of food, to possess and transport more property, and to become somewhat more independent of the scanty water supply. "The horse figures as perhaps the most conspicuous element in all the more recent pictographs and petro- glyphs seen by me In Wyoming. By reeent I mean since, the introduction of the horse. Pictographs made be­ fore that date would, of course, not contain representations of the horse,, an animal which the Indians had never seen. The exact date at which the 6orse reacliea Wjfo1tnfTig t dd not know, but certainly the Indians of the plains had many horses when Lewis and Clark made their famous explor­ ation, over a hundred years ago. They could have had no horses before the discovery of America and the bringing of the horse to Mexico by the Span­ iards. It must have taken some time for the horses to be traded from tribe to tribe, and to spread from Mexico to Wyoming. Then, too, it must have taken still more time for them to multiply to the extent that they did before Lewis' and Clark's time. It will be remembered that Lewis and Clark had no difficulty in securing horses by barter. f "The petroglyphs which I photo­ graphed of horses all represent that animal in a conventional way. That is, the horse is not depicted in a realistic or natural way, but his shoul­ ders are always made unnaturally large in proportion to his hips. "The central portion of the area was the home of the American bison, upon which the Indians* when first met by the whites, depended for not Prehi*torlc Picture Writing Found In Wyoming. only their food, but for the material for their clothing, moccasins, covers for their tepees and - ferryboatB or rafts, backgrounds upon which to paint their calendars, and other things of like character. "After all the vaunted superiority of the white race, our people to-day are holding the cattle much as the Indians held the buffalo. For instance, the Indians held the herds at the North Platte river in order that the tribeB living north of the river might be able to get the buffalo all through the year, for, if left to themselves, the herds would have traveled fur­ ther to the south In winter. Our round-up and general treatment of the cattle of the plains resembles to-day and always has. In wildness and cruel­ ty, the buffalo hunt of the red men." Gives Largs Sum for Science. Gen. Cyrus B.

ENDURING FRESCOES MICHELANGELO'S SECRET 18 EN­ RICHING CAPITOL AT WASH- , v INGTON, D. C. His Formula for Imperishable Color Discovered by New York Artist and Now Being Used la Decorations. The decoration of .a room in the capitol at Washington has just been finished which the artist who has done the work claims is laid In imperishable colors after the formula used by Michelangelo in his frescoing* in St. FMier"« st Rome. The story of this ancient and long Idst process is one full of romance. It 1b the process used by the Greeks and Romans, lost in the Dark Ages, re-discovered by Michel­ angelo and used by him in decorating St. Peter's in Rome, only to be lost at his death. It was discovered again a few years ago and is now being ap­ plied to the adornment of the greatest public building in America. A few years ago a young German art student named Max Friederang, a pu­ pil of Arnold Boecklin, went to Rome to study. Mgr. De Wahl, then rector of the German college, near the Campo Santo, took a fancy to him and ob­ tained for him permission to pursue his researches in the Vatican library. There he formed the acquaintance of two divinity students, who he found were far more deeply interested in art than in theology. The three young men browsed about among the treas­ ures of that enormous library, de­ ciphering manuscripts of mediaeval days, admiring the exquisite illumina­ tions made by ancient monks upon the parchments of manuscripts, and revel­ ing as only lovers of books and art couid in that storehouse of priceless treasures. LOST THE GLOVES. •' •-C • totems The other day Miss Fannie Lomer ran across the road to see an intimate friend. As is usual with young ladies, they had a good deal to tell one an­ other. In the course of the conversa­ tion Fannie said: ? - "I used to think that Gus Simpso^ was a nice young man, but I Just him now. "Why, what has he done?" "He's treated me shamefully." "In what way?" "Why, the other evening, at a party, I said to him, 'Let's play the old game of temptation. If I say 'yes' or 'no* to your questions, I'll owe you a> box of gloves, and if you say 'yes' or 'n# you'll give me a box.'" "Then, what?" "Well, after the party he topk me home, and all the way there he talked as sweetly as could be about love, and that men should not live alone, and all that. And when we got to the front gate, he said, 'Fannie, I have waited for this opportunity a long time--will you marry me?' I whispered *yes,' to a low voice; ahd--" (here her sobs choked her voice.) One day one of the divinity students brought to young Friederang a manu­ script which had struck him as extraor­ dinary. It was a small, bound volume, apparently a diary, filled with anno­ tations, recipes and memoranda, jotted down, often abbreviated, but in a fair­ ly legible hand. The recipes were those of a chemist and artist--the name written on the flyleaf was that of Michelangelo! And 300 years after Michelangelo had made his entries Max Friederang, the humble German student, sat in an aloove of the Vatican library reading the story of Michelangelo, written in Michelangelo's own hand, copying into his notebook the precious recipe for making plaster and mixing color, his heart beating faster as he looked forward to the day when he, too, would dazzle the world with frescoes painted after the recipe of Michelangelo. Friederang told hip friend, Mgr. De Wahl, rector of the German college, all about the diary of Michelangelo, and the good priest was no less in­ terested than his protege. He obtained permission to borrow the manuscript from the library, and one evening he and another priest started with it for a library at the other side of Rome, intending to show it to some anti­ quarians. But as they were crossing the Tiber their carriage came into collision with another and was upset. The priests were thrown out against the parapet of the bridge and the satchel in which was the precious man­ uscript fell over the parapet and into the river, which swept it away, and it was gone forever. Fortunately Friederang had made copious notes. Strangely enough, the fresc9 painters of Italy and Germany ridiculed him when he told his story. He came to America and met with al­ most the same cold reception. "And what did he do then?" inquired her listener, eagerly. "He--KJust--chuckled and said, 'You've lost, Fannie. I take number nines;' then laughed with all his might That's what he did." Unoriginal. Alice--Jack was so romantic in hie proposal!
