1885 Newspaper article on Maria Woodworth-Etter Revival

First hand secular account of a Maria Woodworth-Etter revival outside of Muncie, Indiana in 1995. There were an estimated 20,000 attendees. This was before she was an "-Etter" and before she got the baptism of the Holy Spirit. But the signs and wonders were in effect, and the "trance evangelism" (as Dowie called it with disdain) was stirring up the faith of thousands. Read what it was like, and then pray for what we need now.

Maria Woodworth-Etter or "Mother Etter," as John G. Lake and others affectionately called her for her leadership and influence, was a dedicated, sold out, and powerful evangelist in the days before the Pentecostal movement and after. Her meetings were deemed controversial to many because of the mighty ways God moved in healing, giving vision, and people--including her--experiencing holy "trances" being caught into an experience with God while their bodies remained still and unresponsive.
She was a strong and resolute woman who overcame many things that seemed insurmountable--from experiencing much personal loss in her personal life losing 5 of her 6 children to illness, to breaking free of the false traditional ideas that "God doesn't use a woman in the same way He uses men." But God gave her an angelic vision showing her what would be the results of her ministry and she took the vision and ran with it. Her life and legacy remain, giving us a glimpse of what's possible when we lay down our expectations, assumptions, and inhibitions and run the race before us with boldness, holiness, and complete faith in our Father above and His son Jesus Christ.
