Ida., has not yet jeeri dedicated) were built during his administration and land has been purchased for others. He became an apostle at the age of 25 and had served as a stake president and in other important positions prior to that time. One of the most moments in his long career as a religious leader came on April 6, 1930, when he called to order the 100th annual conference of the church in, the historic tabernacle on Temple square. Another high, light of his administration was the dedication of the Hill Cumorah near Palmyra, N. Y., July 21, ! utilizing polite deceit for diplomatic purposes. He &aid wh&t he thought, and people who had dealings with him admired him for that characteristic, even though hi bluntncss might be somewhat painfuL He was an arresting and effective public speaker for member of the church and nonmember alike. His oratory was not the studied, polished variety. But it carried the force of conviction, His naturalness. sincerity and patriarchal appearance and power- ful voice added to the impressiveness of his public utterances. He was charitable, but through, out his life stuck determinedly to the philosophy that man should not get something for nothing; that work was a practical and a moral , duty and that it was a necessity for physical and spiritg. And he practiced ual what he preached from early childhood until death interrupted his own labors. He appeared at his desk in the church offices when a less determined man would have given up in helpless invalidacy. He was frequently carried to his office in recent months and when his physician insisted upon his at home, he worked remaining there. He presided over conference sessions when, by a relaxation of his tenacious will, he would have been confined to bed. He missed the 110th annual conference of the church in 1940, having been stricken with a stroke to while in southern California dedicate a monument to the memory of the Mormon battlion in San Diego. He never entirely recovered from this illness, although he presided over and spoke at several conference sessions since. He addressed the first wartime conference in April, 1942, and had been preent at some or al of the sessions of subsequent annual and semiannual conferences until last April. On that occasion his message was read to the restricted congregation and he followed the proceedings over a direct wire from the tabernacle to his home. His entire life was an exemplification of courage and determined well-bein- will. As a youth he knew extreme poverty, but it broadened rather than embittered him. When his ambitions ran counter to his talents he buckled down and developed the necessary talent. Instead of lamenting the fact that he had no talent for this or that, he determinedly set out to over, come his deficiency with hard and persistent work. He displayed this characteristic on numerous occasions during his early and late life. He was bom in Salt Lake City in a home on the property now occupied by Z C M I just nine years after the valley had been settled by the original company of Mormon pioneers under the leadership of Brigham Young.
