Mr. Smith begins this sermon by reminding us that the Jews read the book of Ruth each year on Pentecost. To show us why this is done, he first shows us several connections between the book of Ruth and Pentecost, and then goes through the book of Ruth in detail showing four major connections between this book and the day of Pentecost.
