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 John, in the name of Jesus Christ I lay my hands upon thy head and seal the blessings of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob upon thee, and say unto thee be faithful and honor thy calling. Live up to thy privileges and the blessings of the Lord shall attend thee, strengthen thy memory, open the eyes of thine understanding, and cause thy faith to increase, for thou hast a work to do which thou hast not yet conceived of.

It is thy privilege and duty to do a work for thy kindred and assist in gathering scattered Israel. It is thy duty to labor in the ministry and make thy voice heard among the nations of the earth, and become a wise counselor among thy brethren, exalt the saints to faithfulness, and take an active part among the fathers in Israel, that thy name may be known far and near, and thy name be handed down from generation to generation. It is thy privilege until thou art eighty and five years old.

Therefore be prudent and upon thy guard. Seek diligently to know the will of the Lord concerning thee, and listen to the whisperings of the still small voice of the comforter that the stumbling block may be removed from thy pathway, and also that you may have power over evil and unclean spirits and be enabled to hold the adversary at bay, for thou art of the lineage of Ephraim and entitled to the gifts of the priesthood. Thou shalt be enabled through prayer and faith to heal the sick by the laying on of hands, and if necessary thou shalt perform miracles in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.

This with thy former blessings I seal upon thy head and I seal thee up unto eternal life to come forth in the morning of the first resurrection with many of thy kindred and friends. Even so, Amen.
