Do you have a sense for when enthusiastic behavior died out? I get the sense from reading the JOD that 19th-century meetings in Utah were still a lot more, eh, "enthusiastic" than anything I've seen or heard in meetings recorded in the 20th century.
The last reference I've found for a woman speaking in tongues is late 1800s.
Yes, I think its ironic that we've gone from the excitement of speaking in tongues to the GA drone. The last GA who could hold his listeners was LaGrand Richards.
