Tongues (continued) in their own language, the wonderful works of God. Living in Philadelphia, I frequent ly make trips to New York. Natural ly, I have been to the United Na tions on a number of occasions. Each seat in the assembly room has an ear phone connected to the control center and various translation booths. We took some of our Norwegian rela tives there to see what transpired. Dial ing their earphones, they could hear by multiple translation, the language of the speaker, regardless of the lan guage in which it was originally giv en. On the Day of Pentecost, instead of using the modem equipment of elec tronics, the Holy Spirit performed the work and through the disciples was able to impart, in these many lan guages, the wonderful words of the Gospel. Many in the group didn’t be lieve their ears and couldn’t under stand" how such a miracle could take place. Some of them tried to explain it by saying, “These men are full of new wine” (verse 13). Peter’s answer, in o u r modem terminology was, “Brethren, these men are not drunken. This is not a result of new wine; this is the work of the Holy Spirit. Further more, you know that the drinking plac es aren’t open yet. It’s only 9 o’clock in the morning.” So, God’s Word is clear. On the day of Pentecost, the Holy Spirit did give the apostles the ability to speak in other tongues. The?e tongues, however, were not an aesthetic language, unknown tongues from heav en, but were national, geographical, which could be understood from peo ple of those areas. As a basic founda tion, we must thoroughly grasp the reason for the original gift, and the purpose of their application.
