Show Creed Haymond Speaks to SUP By HAROLD H JENSEN Dr. Creed Haymond, former president of the Northern States Mission, and an athlete who set a track running record that stands unequalled, spoke to the Sugar House Chapter Sons of Utah Pioneers at their monthly meeting at the Temple Square Hotel, Monday, Nov. 27. Ralph A. Barnes, president, conducted the meeting. Dr. Haymond reviewed the t. eks of history, starting from the days of Abraham and Moses down to the time of pioneers, comparing the similarity of travels, and proving by quotations quota-tions from the Bible and the Prophet Jeremiah who foretold of these "days to come." He also gave in detail the two trek of Joseph and Hyrum, Smith, after the Saints left Kirtland, which in this writer's opinion, would make good projects for future SUP modern day treks, and space here will not allow going into detail. Dr. Haymond told how his father was given up as a baby, and his parents were awaiting the death of the child, when Amasa Lyman told them "if they would join the pioneers, the boy would never be sick again and should not die." This prophecy proven true for his father, Amas"a Lyman Hammond, Ham-mond, lived to be 97 and never had another sick day. He told of his mother's family- Quakers, joining the Church in Nauvoo, and coming west in the fall of 1847. He commented on the good will created by the Centennial SUP Trek. Music was furnished by Addison Ad-dison RLchey, basso; Mildred Wilson, pianist, and William Cowdes, accordian player. Joseph Jo-seph M. Bean is arranging a Christmas program for Dec. 27. The Rex Layne, Jersey Wol-cott Wol-cott fight was viewed through courtesy of Horace A Sorensen. |
