Excerpt from The Juvenile Instructor, Vol. 35: October 1, 1900 At about the age of fourteen years he was ordained a Deacon, and magnified his calling by the faithful performance of the duties of that office. Two years later he became a Teacher in the ward and worked faithfully in this capacity for a number of years. After receiving his blessings in the house of the Lord, and being ordained an Elder, he was chosen counselor, with Brother Matthias F. Cowley, to President Edward W. Davis of the Elders' quorum of the Salt Lake Stake of Zion. In this capacity he also collected dona tions for the building of the Salt Lake Tem ple at a time when contributions for that purpose were raised through the quorums of the Holy Priesthood. Brother Taylor was also an active worker in the Fourteenth ward Sunday School. He had charge of the primary class, consisting of about one hundred pupils. His ability to entertain and at the same time to impress the children with good, sound doctrine was very marked. He possesses a vein of humor and a happy faculty for making appropriate comparisons which enable him' to attract and retain the attention of children. The late general assistant superintendent of Sunday Schools, Elder George Goddard, pronounced Brother Taylor the best primary teacher he knew of in the Church.
