Excerpt from Discourses on Several Subjects, Vol. 1 of 2 The commission given by our Saviour to his apostles, just before his ascension, as it is recorded by St. Matthew, is in these words All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore and teach all nations, bap tizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and lo, I am with you alway even unto the end of the world. Which may be expressed in the following manner In virtue of that supreme power which is committed unto the in heaven and in earth, I commission and send you to preach my gospel to all the nations of the world, and to make disciples of all who shall embrace it, by baptising them in the name of the Father, and 'of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost instructing them in all the doctrines, and teaching them to observe all the laws, of that holy religion, the propagation of which I now commit to you and be hold, in the execution of this commission I will, by my spirit and power, be present with you and your succes sors, even unto the consummation of all things.'
