Grant recognized that many congregations had never seen a General Authority and worse, the Church did not understand their unique problems. At that time a solution to the unfortunate situation was not evident. Th e missions in America and Europe were visited often by the General Authorities. But the members in the Pacifi c and the Armenians in Syria were not so fortunate. In October 1920 Elder David O. McKay was formally called by President Heber J. Grant to visit the missions of the Pacifi c and probably to go around the world. Hugh J. Cannon, a son of George Q. Cannon and the Liberty Stake President, was selected to accompany him. Th is was the fi rst time an Apostle would travel so extensively. Th ey made a year-long tour (December 4, 1920 to December 23, 1921) of LDS missions and other countries as they circumnavigated the world. Th eir major goal was to visit missionaries and Church members and to stabilize their spiritual values. Th ey also wanted to see what the various areas needed. Th e two special missionaries visited the Orient: Japan, Korea, and China. On January 9, 1921, Elder McKay dedicated and set apart the land of China for the preaching of the gospel when missionaries are allowed to proselyte in that huge land. Considerable time was spent in the missions of the Pacifi c Islands: Hawaii, Tahiti, Fiji, Tonga, Samoa, New Zealand, and Australia. Th e missionaries then traveled on to Java, Singapore, Burma, India, Egypt, Palestine, and Syria, where they met with about seventy xii P R E F A C E xiii Armenian Saints who were without other missionaries and contact with the Church. Th ey returned home by way of Italy, Switzerland, Germany, Belgium, France, and England. During this tour of areas with little direct contact with the Church, they met with the missionaries and members in fi fteen missions, two-thirds of the existing missions at that time. Th e only missions they did not visit were Canada, Mexico, Norway, Sweden, South Africa, and three in the United States. Th ey experienced numerous spiritual experiences during their travels. Elder McKay asked Brother Cannon to record their experiences, which he did. A serialized travelogue was published in the Deseret News as the letters arrived from various parts of the world. But the desire was to produce a more comprehensive narrative, including the spiritual episodes. Brother Cannon wrote an interesting twenty- fi ve chapter account of the McKay/Cannon missionary journey. His work was interrupted by a call to serve as mission president for three years and other important activities. He died as it was nearing completion. Speaking at Brother Cannon’s funeral, Elder McKay said: “Th e narrative part of that wonderful mission has been printed in part in the Deseret News. Part of it has been printed in one of the European Church papers, but the spiritual side of it now may never be told because Brother Cannon was the one who could best tell it. Th at is one of many reasons why I say I wish that death had postponed this for many many years, for he and I have sat together since coming home and have planned ways and means of getting some of these memorable experiences in which God’s power was manifest beyond the question of a doubt, to the young people of the Church, that their faith too might be increased.” Brother Cannon had discussed the details of the manuscript and his proposed additions with his wife, Sarah Richards Cannon, daughter of George F. Richards. She had been associate editor of an LDS University magazine and then a librarian at the university for several years, so she was uniquely qualifi ed to assist him in writing, editing, and attempting to complete his document. After Hugh died, xiv DAVID O. MCKAY AROUND THE WORLD Sarah completed and corrected the manuscript. With the renewed encouragement of President McKay, she then gave the manuscript to a publisher to be printed. Unfortunately, the publisher misplaced it, and it was not found for many years. Now, eighty-four years after the important missionary world tour of Elder McKay, the lost manuscript has been published. It contains interesting and inspirational stories about the countries visited and the experiences of the two missionaries. We wish the readers a hearty bon voyage as they undertake an imaginary tour around the world as it was back in 1921 in company with two faithful disciples of the Lord.

    14. Angus M. Cannon: Pioneer, President, Patriarch By Donald Q. Cannon Donald Q. Cannon, “Angus M. Cannon: Pioneer, President, Patriarch,” in Supporting Saints: Life Stories of Nineteenth-Century Mormons, ed. Donald Q. Cannon and David J. Whittaker (Provo, UT: Brigham Young University, Religious Studies Center, 1985), 369–401. Angus M. Cannon: Pioneer, President, Patriarch Donald Q. Cannon Donald Q. Cannon was a professor of Church history and doctrine at Brigham Young University when this was published. He received his BA and MA from the University of Utah and his PhD from Clark University. He has published several books, articles, and book reviews, including the Far West Record. A great-grandson of Angus M. Cannon, he has spent considerable time studying Angus’s papers and journals. Angus Cannon often came to visit his son, Jesse F. Cannon. After dinner on one visit Angus went out in his fine Prince Albert coat and hat and tried to flag down the trolley. Unknown to Angus, the trolley company had recently changed that route to an express line, so the train failed to stop. Immediately, Angus went inside and called the president of the Utah Traction Company and told him to make sure all trains stopped for him. After all, he was President Angus M. Cannon! From then on the trolley did stop for Angus, wherever and whenever he flagged it down. [1] This incident, indicative of Angus Cannon’s aggressiveness and ability to command the respect of others, was related by his grandson, T. Quentin Cannon. Quayle Cannon, Jr., another grandson, recalls his impressions of Angus.
