deacons. Chapter three reads:
"1 The manner which the disciples, who were called the elders of the church, ordained priests and teachers-
2 After they had prayed unto the Father in the name of Christ, they laid their hands upon them, and said:
3 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.
4 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."

laying on of hands for the Gift of the Holy Ghost. After baptism in today's church, a person is confirmed a member and given the Gift of the Holy Ghost. When Christ was in Jerusalem, the Saints did not have the Holy Ghost. They received it after his death.
When Christ visited the Americas, he instructed his disciples: "Ye shall call on the Father in my name, in mighty prayer; and after ye have done this ye shall have power that to him upon whom ye shall lay your hands, ye shall give the Holy Ghost; and in my name shall ye give it, for thus do mine apostles." (Moroni 2:2)
the Lamanites. At this point, the Nephites have been completely destroyed, leaving Moroni alone among enemies determined to hunt him down and kill him. He writes these last things and includes a few epistles of his father, Mormon.
The end of Moroni 1:4 reads, "...but I write a few more things, that perhaps they may be of worth unto my brethren, the Lamanites, in some future day, according to the will of the Lord."
