And again he was the youngest man in Mormon annals to hold such a high position. While an Apostle, President Grant accomplished many things in church circles. He established the Japanese mission and was the first man to carry the word of Mormon-isto Mexico, establishing a large colony in that country. He also established a Mormon stake in Honolulu and Washington, D. C., and built temples in Canada, Arizona, Idaho and at Laie, Oahu, in the Hawaiian islands - the only LDS temple outside the North American continent. Senior Member It was Nov. 23, 1916, that he became senior member and president of the Council of Twelve Apostles. The holder of that position automatically is next in line to become president of the church and its "trugtee-in-trus- t, which means he is responsible, in church affnirs, to God alone. Two years to the day after becoming president of the Council of Twelve, President Grant succeeded Joseph F. Smith, upon the latters death, as president of the church. The appointment was made by the council and confirmed by the church membership at a general conference in June, 1919. True to his principles, President Grant was a valiant almost' intolerant foe of liquor, tobacco, tea, coffee and any other typo of. stimulant. In this regard, he adhered strictly to the church "word of counsels that which wisdom man should not partake of anything that creates an appetite for itself. When repeal,. swept' the nation with his own Utah ultimately casting the deciding vote President . iant pleaded with Mormons to remain dry by law even though all other states go wet. Later he deplored the sale of liquor in state stores and in sermons commented on the increase of drunkenness in Utah. , Hard Worker Presidlnt Grant had a varied business life that started as a messenger for an insurance com- pany. Then he went to work for the Zions Cooperative bank. Speaking of this position, he once said: "I was not only the receiving teller, but also the paying teller, tlie president and the janitor. The only way I could attend to my insurance business was to close up eailv and go out on the street." As a youth. President Grant liked th theater but his father had died when he was only nine years old and he was forced to help his mother support a large family. The only way he could see stage shows was to carry water to the third balcony of the old Salt Lake theater. Sometime later he became principal sto kholder in the Salt Lake Theater company und had a box of his own. Because of his work, President Grant's education was limited to grammar and private schools and a few weeks at university. He was active in sports, belonging to the Red Stocking basebull team that won the Utah state championship more than a half century ago. His present business connections include the presidency of his own Heber J. Grant Insurance Co., the Zions Cooperative Mercantile Ino stitution and the Sugar company. He was also a director of the Hotel Utah Corp., Union Pacific railroad, The Deseret News und the Latter-da- y Saints hospitals President Grant admitted before a conference in 1939 that he often had political ambitions but the only public office he ever held was that of representative for one term in the territorial legislature before Utah became a state. Drive For Statehood While still an Apostle in the church. President Grant took an active part in the campaign to obtain statehood for Utah. When this became a rea'.ity -. 1896, President Grant was offered his choice of the majority party nomination for either governor or U. S. senator. I was thrilled to the bottom of my feet, President Grant recalled and in a conference talk once, immediately hied off to the church president and asked him what I should do. He told me to decline both offers that my place was with the church. I was so disappointed that I felt like pouting in the corner but I didn't have any choice and declined. However, when he became president, Grant maintained a strict neutrality as far as partisanship was concerned and several times promised he would never permit his church to inject itself into politics. Speaking at Boise during the height of the 1936 presidential cam- paign, President Grant said: "The administration's business is not Utah-Idah- i- business ot the Mormon church. Our ihiirch does not believe in commenting on political subjects. Let the administi ation go its way; we shall not interfere" It was on this same occasion that President Grant branded the Townsend pension proposal as "nonsensical and unworkable. Security Plan One of President Grants biggest innovations in the church was the 1937 establishment of the Mormon church security plun, though which Mormons contributed employed funds, produce and clothing to less 'ortunn'e members to, as Grant put it, "get them off relief." He was modern in many respects and adopted, for the church, many inventions of the present day. During his term in office, the church backed formation of the Radio Service Corporation of Utah, own ers of station KSL in Salt Lake City, one ot the pioneers in the commercial broadcasting field. He also inaugurated the worl-- ' famous daily organ concerts at the huge Salt Lake LDS tabernacle and in 1929 was instrumental in starting a series of programs over KSL and nation,.! radio networks, featuring the tabernacle choir and organ. He traveled extensively and visit ed mo. of the principal countries of the world, both, as an early-da- y missionary and as church president. Some of his latest trips included a 1936 visit to Alaska and a 1937 tour of Europe. Almost every Sunday,. President Grant was kept busy at -ities, dedicating new meeting houses so many dedications had he supervised that even his own secretary lost count.
