that thas nen men bearing the priesthood should be ready at a y time lime to perform any labor that god required of hem the priesthood was not conferred upon men tor for their honor bonor or as aa a mere reward for past services but to enable them to labor more efficiently for the benefit of the people men should not be called to be b elders simply to enable them to go to the temple to get married but because ol of the gita gifts and callings 0 of f god ato them manifesting their worthiness nen and fitness for the position it if that be not the primary motive in calling men to such places placed it was waa wrong wring and tile the responsibility would rest refit upon the bishops who recommended the unworthy lay hands bands suddenly on no man either in a pugilistic listIc way or iu in ordination to the priesthood it he be not net worthy of it the bishops should be careful caratu I 1 not to act prematurely IN issuing recommends the speaker referred to various evil practices
