Miss
Minnie Abrams tells of a meeting held by one of the Mukti bands in Anrangabad
in 1906. It was in the Church Missionary Society schoolroom. A little girl of
nine was wonderfully anointed with prayer. Before going back to the Church
Missionary Society boarding school in Bombay, from which she had come for a vacation, she asked her father if any
one might receive the Holy Spirit. He told her that God would give the Holy
Spirit to all who asked Him. On returning to the school she succeeded in
getting four girls to join her in prayer, daily, for the Holy Spirit. Upon
one of these, a girl of sixteen, the Holy Spirit was poured out with the
speaking in tongues. She asked daily to retire to a room for prayer. She
would become oblivious to her surroundings and time, wholly occupied in
communion with God, praying always aloud. When it was discovered that she was
speaking in a language not understood, Canon Haywood was brought in. He
decided this might be the speaking in tongues, and took measures to find out
what she was saying. In the cosmopolitan city of Bombay where many languages were spoken, he found one who could understand
much of what she said. She was pleading with God for Libya, in North Africa. She did not always speak the same language.
