1 The manner which the disciples, who were called the elders of the church, ordained priests and teachers --
Here's how the disciples (who were called elders) 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:
They prayed and laid their hands on them.
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.
They they said,
In the name of Jesus, I ordain you to be a priest (or a teacher).
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.
That's how they did it. [1]
Notes
It's pretty easy. Pray to the Father in the name of Christ, put your hands on the candidates, and say, "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." That's how the disciples (who were called the elders of the church) did it.
After the Lamanites kill Moroni and read these simple instructions, they'll be able to make priests and teachers too.
