[Heber J. Grant Diary] I had quite a visit with Bro [E. R.] Young riding to Ogden. Among other things he told me that he had heard my name mentioned with others in connection with the next delegate to congress. In and of myself I could not possibly fill the place as my education and daily life have not been of such a character as to qualify me for this position, but I have full confidence that I could fill the place with honor to myself and our people with the assistance of our Heavenly Father. If it is His will that I go there is nothing that I know of that would give me more pleasure. But I hope and pray that I will not be selected unless I have the assistance of our Heavenly Father as I know that I would make a complete failure and in a great degree destroy what little reputation I now have. I am not big headed enough to think the brethren will select a boy for delegate to congress.
