The quote says, "I can liken life before you to that of a ship with its prow pointed toward the great ocean as it leaves the harbor for the distant shore. Storms may come and they will for no ship ever sailed the seas but had to face the storm. if its strong from keel to top from bow to stern, well maintained and intelligently directed, it rides the storm and goes on its way. So you will meet obstacles, storms. If you are strong in faith, clear headed, honest, trusting for Devine guidance and with a character built on the solid rock, you will meet all troubles in life victoriously.""
Taken from Wikipedia, "Charles Clarke Chapman (1853–1944) was the first mayor of Fullerton, California and a relative of John Chapman, the legendary "Johnny Appleseed." He was a native of Illinois who had been a Chicago publisher before settling in Southern California. Chapman was a supporter of the Disciples of Christ, who was a primary donor and fundraiser for California Christian College, which in 1934 changed its name to Chapman College, and is now Chapman University, in his honor. Chapman Avenue, a major Orange County thoroughfare, is also named in his honor."
