the power and right to give laws and
comm Andments to individuals, church.
eS, rulers, nations and the world; to
appoint, ordain and establish c0nstitu-
tions and kingdoms; to appoint kings,
presidents, governors. or judges. key.

and hold the government Of the king

The priesthood lis the legitimate
rule OF God, whether in the heavens or
on the earth, and it Is the only legitl.
mate power that has Ii right to
rule on the earth; and when the
will Of God is done on earth as II is In
heaven no ether power will be or rule. !"
