1. J. Wilbur Chapman spoke of visiting Enfield, Connecticut: ''I have been in that old church in New England where Jonathan Edwards preached his great sermon, 'Sinners in the hands of an angry God.' He had a little manuscript which he held up so close to his face that they could not see his countenance. He went on and on until the people in the crowded church were tremendously moved.

My heart was deeply moved as I thought of the mighty demonstration of God's power that was manifested when the Holy Spirit came upon Edwards and the place he was preaching.
3. What happened that night we again need to see! Oh, for such demonstrations of God's power in our day. Yet, it is more! It is not just what happened that night, but Who came that night that we need-the Holy Spirit in His power!
