Another Story of Achievement

Another Story of Achievement On May 19, 1929, President Heber J. Grant dedicated the Dimond ward chapel in Oakland, California. This is one of the wards of the San Francisco stake and deserves notice because of what its members have accomplished. Barely five years before this dedication took place, the Sunday School was organized. One year later, May 17, 1925, it became a branch of the Cali- fornia mission. When the San Francisco stake was organized, July 10, 1927, the Dimond ward became one of its units. The ward chapel was commenced January 9, 1929, and on May 18, four months and nine days later, was com- pleted, paid for and ready for dedication. All labor was donated, and dinner was served every night to the workers during the construction. The cost of the building, completed and furnished, was $35,000. No wonder there are so many smiling faces in this group. Bishop Thomas H. Robinson, his counselors and co-workers are to be congratulated on their achievement.
