The book I am reading now, about Brigham Young, makes it clear that this was a common practice in the early Mormon church.
I witnessed one of the last practices of it during Reunion back in the Fifties, The speaker, standing in the back of the church, could not restrain himself, and was shaking all over. Everyone listened to him respectfully, but then the service continued as though nothing unusual had happened.
