Accept Brother Heiner, my assurance of deep appreciation for the splendid service which you have rendered to the gotxi people of Morgan during the time you have presided over [the] Morgan Stake of Zion. Sincerely your friend and brother, Heber J. Grant At the quarterly stake conference where he was released on 9 December 1923, it was said of him: We love him as a man of God, devoted to high callings. He has dedicated his life to God's service- He has lived a clean honorable life and has a grear ability to share with others his cheerfulness and council when great problems beset their paths. Many people have followed his example. . . . Let me say that this whole community owes a wonderful debt of gratitude to the kind and fait hfulpresidenr of ours, who served for 23 years, No man ever came here thai was better than he. He has been my inspiration in every way and when I wanted to know what was best to do when great problems beset my path, the inspiration of my Heavenly Farher told me to go to President Heiner, In a letter to his children President Heiner wrote: I have lived a clean life I was true to your mothers. I was true to my family. I leave you a good name. I have been true to the covenants I have made in the temple. I have tried to learn what the gospel is and what life means. I will teach you God is a personal being. The Gospel will teach you the truth of the Book of Mormon as a divine record, and that Joseph Smith is a prophet. I have fought the battle of life and when things looked darkest, some power has come to my rescue. When I think of my blessings I almost feel ashamed to think I ever allow myselftobeblue.
