Strange Experiences in Portland
After returning from our visit in Massachusetts, we passed through strange experiences in Portland. LSMS 161.1
One evening as we were engaged in prayer, the window was broken just above my head, and the glass came down upon me. I continued praying. One man in his blind rage was cursing and swearing while we continued to plead with God that when His indignation should come upon the shelterless heads of poor sinners, we might be hid in the secret pavilion. The man's voice hushed, and he was seen hastening from the place. He could not endure the sound of prayer, nor the thought of judgment. LSMS 161.2
