"THE manner which the disciples, who were called the elders of
the church, ordained priests and teachers—
"After they had
prayed unto the Father in the name of Christ, they laid their hands
upon them, and said:
"In the name
of Jesus Christ I ordain you to be a priest, (or, if he be a teacher)
I ordain you to be a teacher, to preach repentance and remission of
sins through Jesus Christ, by the endurance of faith on his name to
the end. Amen.
"And after this
manner did they ordain priests and teachers, according to the gifts
and callings of God unto men; and they ordained them by the power of
the Holy Ghost, which was in them."
