as much right

George Q. Cannon: The sisters have as much right to these gifts as the brethren. They have the right to go unto God and ask Him in the name of Jesus to bestow upon them such gifts as they need. How good a gift it would be for a mother to have the gift of governing her children, the gift of wisdom to train them and to point out to them the path that they should pursue. The mother who seeks for these gifts and exercises them before the Lord will have great joy in her children and will get amply rewarded for all the faith that she has exercised and the prayers she has offered in their behalf.
