Now I will read of another time when Jesus stilled the waves with a word.
"'Now it came to pass on a certain day, that he went into a ship with his
disciples: and he said unto them, let us go over unto the other side of

there came down a storm of wind on the lake; and they were filled with
water, and were in jeopardy. And they came to him, and awoke him, saying,
Master, master, we perish. Then he arose, and rebuked the wind, and the
raging of the water: and they ceased, and there was a calm. And he said

him. The Bible tells us so; the Bible which from beginning to end is God's
own holy word. Listen to its closing words;" and again she read aloud from

let him take the water of life freely. For I testify unto every man that
heareth the words of the prophecy of this book. If any man shall add unto
these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this
