Excerpt from A Treatise on the Melchisedek Priesthood, and the Callings of God: Respectfully Dedicated to a Gospel Ministry In treating of this subject, I shall not govern myself by the Opin'ions kor doctrines of any party or people called orthodox by the professing Christian world; but endeavor to collect such facts from the inspi1 ed records as will tend to instruct the reader on the subject of the priesthood or of a gospel ministry. In the United States, where there 18 free tole1at10n for all religions, we find more sects or parties than 111 any other nation. Each party claims that their doctrines are in accordance with the inspired writings, and that a ministry is one part of their doctrine. Nearly all preachers claim that they are called directly to preach the gospel others that they are called by the church in accordance with a God given order. It is a well known fact that the doctrines of the different sects or parties differ very materially one from the other, enough so to keep up a continued division, and also call themselves, col lectlvely, the body of Christ or his church. The apostle asks, 1 Coin, 1-13, Is Christ divided? We ask every candid, reflecting mind to ask themselves the question Whether it is reasonable to believe that God calls men to preach doctrines diverse one from the other, and thus become the author of all the confusion that is in the world If God does not call them, then are there not mul titudes making false pretentions to their fellow men. The word says, see that thou make all things according to the pattern showed thee in theholy mount, and we shall endeavor in this treatise to show the order of God from the word of inspiration and not from the Opinions and mistakes of men.
