Here is a compilation of what he had to say at various times about Ascension and Pentecost.
Six lectures given between the years 1908 and 1924. This translation, from shorthand reports unrevised by the lecturer, is by George Adams (Kaufman), Jesse Darrell, and Dorothy S. Osmond. Revised and edited by Alan P. Shepherd.
