A
Musical Tribute to President James E. Faust
Today,
we remember James E. Faust, member of the First Presidency of The
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, who passed away at
the age of 87 early last Friday morning. President Faust retired
from his law practice when he was called as a General Authority
of the Church thirty-five years ago and immediately introduced himself
to the membership with his characteristic down-to-earth sense of
humor.
He was born on a farm in Delta, UT, served a mission to Brazil,
served in the military, earned a law degree and was elected to the
Utah state legislature, but he is best known and best loved for
his spirit of service to all, and his powerful witness of the Savior.
We pay tribute to his memory now in his own words, and with The
Mormon Tabernacle Choir singing the hymn text he wrote; "This
Is the Christ."
We will miss you, President Faust.
That's this week on The Cricket and Seagull...
