Elder H C Early of Virginia delivers a Pentecost sermon on The Holy Spirit and His Works. He discusses the Trinity, cites Genesis and Paul, notes the unity and personality of the Father Son and Holy Ghost, and emphasizes their interrelation amid crowded attendance.

The Spirit convicts the world, quickens hearts to God’s truth, and enables understanding of Scripture when the mind is rightly prepared. Without the Spirit, people are unable to think or act rightly.
