Mormon Doctrine, p. 183; “Deacons are “appointed to watch over the church, to be standing ministers unto the church.” (D. & C. 84:111.) They are to assist the teachers in all their duties… although they can neither “baptize, administer the sacrament, or lay on hands.” (D. & C. 20:57-60.)

(Doctrines of Salvation, vol. 3, pp. 111-114.)” – Bruce R. McConkie
