"We will never realize the brotherhood of man until the world accepts Christ as the Lord of the earth and accept his teachings. teach-ings. No people have a clearer concept of the peace of the gospel in the world than have our own peoole."

He interpreted in-terpreted this as meaning that many are ordained to the priesthood priest-hood but only a relatively few secure se-cure the full power and force of it. "To get a legal delegation of God's power we must not only be ordained, but we must be worthy to be chosen.
