On the cover: “Priesthood is the authority and the power which God has granted to men on earth to act for Him. When we exercise priesthood authority properly, we do what He would do if He were present,” writes President Boyd K. Packer in a primer on principles of priesthood government (see page 14).

Back cover: In “What Every Elder Should Know—and Every Sister As Well,” President Boyd K. Packer explains that the Melchizedek Priesthood “enables endowed and worthy men to preside over their posterity in time and eternity” (see page 14).
Inside back cover: Jeremiah Laments the Devastation of Jerusalem, by Rembrandt Harmenszoom van Rijn (1606–1669). For more than 40 years Jeremiah warned of Jerusalem’s destruction if its people would not repent of idolatry and immorality. His prophecies were fulfilled when the Chaldeans besieged the city and took the people captive. Sadly, Jeremiah wrote of Jerusalem: “Her enemies prosper; for the Lord hath afflicted her for the multitude of her transgressions: her children are gone into captivity before the enemy” (Lam. 1:5).
