A Great Dark Ball

 Hello everyone.  Praise the Lord!

A Great Dark Ball

Edna Slingerland, a child of eleven years living in Portland, Oregon has been in communion with Jesus for three years, and her parents write that she has had many visions given her.  

Saturday evening, November 24^th after an hour spent in reading the Bible and talking to Jesus, the Lord gave her this vision.  She saw a great dark ball, black as could be, and as it rolled slowly, a large grey surface came in sight, and the words came to her, “Pacific Ocean.”  As it rolled on, she saw a large bright spot, bright as an electric light, and the words “Los Angeles” came. 

 Then in the brightness of it, Jesus’ face showed and a throng of angels dancing and rejoicing.  Then scattered over the black ball, she saw here and there, a very small bright spot and in each of them, the face of Jesus showed only partly.[1]

Brother Ryan Receives His Pentecost

Hello everyone.  Praise the Lord!

This testimony was published by the Azusa Street Mission newsletter, in November of 1906, by William J Seymour. It is the testimony of M. L. Ryan.

Rev. M. L. Ryan, a holiness evangelist and editor of Light, Salem, Oregon, hearing the good news from Los Angeles, suddenly dropped in at the Azusa Street publishing office. After a few words of greeting, he went into the upper room meeting and in about two hours after he arrived, he was baptized with the Holy Ghost and spoke and sang in the power of the Spirit. He has returned to Salem and a band of Spirit-filled workers have gone to Salem to help in a Pentecostal meeting there. Brother Ryan says:

"Little did I think that God had such a rich experience for so unworthy a person as myself. When I arrived in Los Angeles I had my mind made up that I must seek for the Pentecostal baptism at least one week before receiving it. To my unutterable surprise and joy the power fell upon me at once. The Holy Ghost prayed and spoke through me in tongues. One of the blessed privileges that conferred upon me was a place in that heavenly choir, The songs of which defy all power of human to imitate. Hallelujah for His unspeakable gift."

Signed, M. L. Ryan.
