Elder Xavier Ocean’s transgressions have not gone unnoticed. Despite the temptations posed by his fellow members, he must take responsibility for his actions. The brotherhood’s authorities are determined to ensure he understands the consequences. President Jimmy Standard summons the young man and explains that spreading God’s word does not grant him license to indulge in carnal pleasures. Xavier acknowledges the truth in this, but his innocence makes it difficult for him to resist. He listens to the President’s lecture in silence, hoping he won’t be expelled for his unholy deeds.
President Standard, however, is more understanding than Xavier anticipates. Recognizing the temptations that young elders face, he believes they need an outlet to prevent these thoughts and actions from interfering with their sacred mission. Instead of mere prohibition, President Standard introduces Elder Ocean to a more powerful method of self-control before sending him off on his next assignment.
