Yesterday’s answer:
B He was called into his
bishopric
At West High School in Salt Lake
City, Alvin R. Dyer was a member of a very popular vocal quartet. Because of
their outstanding talent, they received a contract to go on a vaudeville
circuit to sing for forty-two weeks, a very appealing journey to the
eighteen-year-old musician. But the Lord had other plans—the young man’s bishop
called him on a mission. Alvin showed his willingness to serve the Lord by
accepting the call and abandoning the fun and glamour of a singing career.
In high school, Alvin, who came from
a family of thirteen children, distinguished himself as an outstanding baseball
pitcher. One of the young classmates who cheered his team on to victory, May
Elizabeth Jackson, later became his wife; they became parents of a son and a
daughter. Upon his return from the Eastern States Mission, where he labored
from 1922 to 1924, he was offered a start in professional baseball and even
signed a contract to play with one team. At about the same time, however, he
was called to serve as a member of a bishopric. One again he could see that
this exciting athletic career, with its obligation to play on Sundays, would
interfere with his Church responsibilities. Although he had a great desire to
play baseball, he withdrew from the contract and accepted the calling in the
Church.
