During a severe storm that lasted three days while traveling on the steamship Wyoming, N. Firs promised the sick Saints that the sea would become calm and that they would arrive at their destination in good health. Following his prayer and promise, the sea became calm for four days, and the company arrived safely in New York.
In Their Own Words
“I was led to promise the Saints in the midst of their sickness, that the sea would become calm and they all would arrive at their destination enjoying good health. On the voyage we remembered the Lord, and after the storm, had a calm for four days, with beautiful weather until we reached this port, all feeling well and thankful to our heavenly Father for His kindness towards us. — Millennial Star 36:45”
