A case or gift OF tongues has at
tracted a great deal of attention at
Munkedal. The man claiming to speak
in tongues 500 became so violent
that he had to be locked up. At the
Munkedal factory he broke several
windows in an attempt to get into the
building. After his Imprisonment he
attempted to throw himself head first

caught in time. Since being locked
up and treated he has Gained down,

more circumspect in the future. Sew

interested in the gift of tongues, and
the end of the agitation is not yet in

ton aims to make any future changes
impossible except after proper DELHI
