From the life of George Q. Cannon:   “I have been desirous to . . . restore to the Church all I had ever drawn from it for services, so my labors might be gratuitous. I have paid tolerable heavy tithing and I felt if I could square up these credits I should be grateful,” Cannon said. For twenty years of Church service and the funds he had drawn to build his “Big House,” Cannon’s “debt” totaled $39,914. He offered the $75,000 house to cancel the amount, but his fellow apostles declined the offer. Finally he deeded the house to the Church, his account was cancelled, and he received a credit of $20,000.
