[MUSIC PLAYING] When Howard W. Hunter
was a young man of 15, while living in Boise, he joined
a gathering of Church members to discuss building a tabernacle
to meet the Church's growing needs. When donation pledges
were requested, Howard committed to pay $25. It was a substantial pledge to
be offered by one in his teens and at a time of
financial concern which preceded the
Depression of 1929. Howard recorded,
"I worked and saved until I was able to pay
my commitment in full." He was present two years later
when the completed tabernacle was dedicated by
President Heber J. Grant.
