Sister Ellen in the name of Jesus Christ I lay my hands upon thy head in order to pronounce and seal a blessing upon thee which shall be as the spirit may invite. Therefore I say unto thee, prepare thy mind to receive the blessings which the Lord shall see fit to bestow upon thee.

Thou art of the House of Israel and of the lineage of Ephraim and entitled to many blessings. Thou hast also as it were seen trials and afflictions, but nothing to compare with many of the saints. Thou hast also left thy nature land, kindred, and friends for the gospel's sake for which thou shalt receive thy reward if thou art faithful and do not forfeit these blessings through disobedience and carelessness. Therefore I say unto thee be upon thy guard and forget not to be humble and prayerful and thou shalt have the spirit of the Lord to be with thee day by day and guide thy footsteps and open the way before thee and thou shalt see better and happier days.

The Lord knoweth the integrity of thy heart and will deal out blessings unto thee according as thou shalt merit. I say unto thee e of good cheer and let thy heart be comforted. Be not cast down in spirit but be buoyant with thee and thine, and thy children shall be a comfort to thee in thine old age and rise up and bless thee for the good counsel which thou hast given them.

This blessing I seal upon thy head and I seal thee up unto eternal life to come forth in the morning of the first resurrection. Even so Amen.

Brother Ernest, in the name of Jesus of Nazareth I place my hands upon thy head to pronounce and seal a blessing upon thee and I say unto thee be of good faith and seek to obtain wisdom, knowledge and understanding. Also, inform thy mind in regard to the principles of life and salvation, for thou art numbered among the sons of Zion of whom much is expected. Therefore, prepare thyself for the events of the future, for the time is not far distant when thou shalt be called to labor in the ministry, and without doubt thou shall travel much for the Gospel sake and go again to thy native land and gather out from bondage many of the honest in heart who are now in Babylon, and if thou art faithful thou shalt have great joy therein, and thou shalt find friends among strangers, and thine enemies shall not hedge thee round about, but thou shall accomplish a good work and fulfill thy mission upon the Earth. Thou art of the blood of Joseph and shall receive thy Blessings in the Tribe of Ephriam. Thou art also entitled to the blessings of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and of the new and everlasting covenant in as much as thou will be humble and listen to the still small voice of the comforter. Therefore I say unto thee put thy trust in the Lord and the Angel of thy presence shall watch over thee and guard thy footsteps, and thou shall become a mighty man in Israel, and thy name shall be perpetuated and handed down in honorable remembrance and written in the Lamb's Book of Life. These Blessings I seal upon thy head and I seal thou up unto eternal life to come forth in the morning of the first Resurrection forever. Amen.
