54. And see that there is no iniquity in the Church--neither hardness with each other--neither lying, back biting, nor evil speaking; 55. And see that the Church meet together often, and also see that all the members do their duty; 56. And he is to take the lead of meetings in the absence of the Elder or Priest-- 57. And is to be assisted always, in all his duties in the Church, by the Deacons, if occasion requires. 58. But neither Teachers nor Deacons have authority to baptize, administer the sacrament, or lay on hands; 59. They are, however, to warn, expound, exhort, and teach and invite all to come unto Christ. 60. Every Elder, Priest, Teacher, or Deacon is to be ordained according to the gifts and callings of God unto him; and he is to be ordained by the power of the Holy Ghost, which is in the one who ordains him. 61. The several Elders composing this Church of Christ are to meet in conference once in three months, or from time to time as said conferences shall direct or appoint; 62. And said conferences are to do whatever Church business is necessary to be done at the time. 63. The Elders are to receive their licenses from other Elders, by vote of the church to which they belong, or from the conferences. 64. Each Priest, Teacher, or Deacon, who is ordained by a Priest, may take a certificate from him at the time, which certificate, when presented to an Elder, shall entitle him to a license, which shall authorize him to perform the duties of his calling, or he may receive it from a conference. 65. No person is to be ordained to any office in this Church, where there is a regularly organized branch of the same, without the vote of that Church; 66. But the presiding Elders, traveling Bishops, High Councilors, High Priests, and Elders, may have the privilege of ordaining, where there is no branch of the Church that a vote may be called. 67. Every president of the High Priesthood (or presiding Elder), Bishop, High Councilor and High Priest, is to be ordained by the direction of a High Council or general conference. [4] 68. _The duty of the members after they are received by baptism._--The Elders or Priests are to have a sufficient time to expound all things {69} concerning the Church of Christ to their understanding, previous to their partaking of the Sacrament and being confirmed by the laying on of the hands of the Elders, so that all things may be done in order. 69. And the members shall manifest before the Church, and also before the Elders, by a godly walk and conversation, that they are worthy of it, that there may be works and faith agreeable to the Holy Scriptures--walking in holiness before the Lord.
