Notes
"Two young missionaries take the light of the gospel and news of God’s wonderful works to the farthest corners of the earth. They enter into their new field of labor on a sailing ship with billowing sails and tall rigging. The ship illustrates the magnitude of the work ahead for the elders and draws our thoughts upward to God. Light bathes the elders and the boat, symbolic of the good news they are bringing to the people."
