Oer the glad water of the dark blue sea Our thoughts as boundless and our souls as free Far as the breeze can bear the billows foam Survey our empire and behold our home!
It has been my habit when I crossed the ocean – and I have been on both the Pacific and the Atlantic oceans many times-when a storm came up or we appeared to be in danger from ice or any other cause-to watch the captain of the ship. I noted his demeanor and I thought that by it I could form a correct idea of our danger. He knew probably better than anyone else about our position and our danger and therefore I took pleasure in watching him. And so it is in regard to the work of God. . . . It is my privilege to have all the gifts and blessings resting down upon me by virtue of my calling. If I am faithful thereto they will rest upon me. But it is not my privilege to guide the ship. . . . In times of danger whatever my own feelings may be . . . I always look . . . to the man whom God has placed to preside over his people. I watch him. I know that it is for him to direct the movements of the crew of the Ship Zion. It is for him to direct how she shall be steered so far as human power is necessary for this purpose. When there are no tremors in him when there are no indications of fear on his part when he feels serene and confident I know that I can do so with the utmost safety and that this entire people can trust in that God who has placed a prophet a seer and a revelator to preside over his people upon the earth.
I wiped away the weeds and foam I fetched my sea-born treasures home; But the poor unsightly noisome things Had left their beauty on the shore With the sun and the sand and the wild uproar.
During a heavy storm at sea a nervous woman passenger on a large liner went to the captain seeking reassurance. Captain she asked tremulously are we in great danger? Don?t worry madam he answered after all we are in the hands of God. Oh she gasped terror written on her face is it as bad as that?

Its money and adventure and fame. Its the thrill of a lifetime and a long sea voyage that starts at six oclock tomorrow morning.

There is one spectacle grander than the sea that is the sky; there is one spectacle grander than the sky that is the interior of the soul.

?Wouldst thou?so the helmsman answered ?Learn the secret of the sea? Only those who brave its dangers Comprehend its mystery!?
