emphasized the eternal mother love
The theme was beautifully pictured
on summers afternoon when the
disclplds. full of arrogant spirit and
high pride ventured out into the sea :.
Jesus knew this arrogancy must be
: choked out, and as he lay sleep, the
= terrible storm came. Notice how
and IN what manner the Disciples
plead to Jesus for help. They woke
Him; the sea was Gained and peace
ID reigned. Awake Jesus If you are h
the storm.
