D&C 123:16 · James 3:4
This connection's citations are checked against the source text.
The mark sits beside every quote a connection carries. It reports one thing: those words were found in the frozen source text at the reference this page cites, allowing only typographic differences such as curly quotes, dash forms and spacing.
It is not a tier signal, and it is not a judgment about the connection. Where a card carries the Interpretive badge, the reading is still offered with its evidence for you to weigh — the mark speaks only to the citations.
The badges and the mark are separate signals: Textual and Interpretive name the kind of claim a connection makes, while the mark reports that the connection's citations were checked.
'a very small helm' stands at exactly two distinct frozen verses in the corpus: these. Both set the small helm against a great ship and against weather. The older verse uses the figure for the tongue's power over a life; this one for the value of small labours in a large cause, and states the application in the next verse, 'let us cheerfully do all things that lie in our power'. D&C 121:1-6 is a prayer; the answering first-person voice begins at D&C 121:7 and continues through D&C 122. D&C 123 is counsel offered by a plural first person to brethren, not a divine command. Counts are of distinct frozen verses in the corpus, derived by search at the time of writing.
