Brother George Bentley Teeples, as thou hast desired it I place my hands upon thy head to pronounce and seal a blessing upon thee, that thy heart may be comforted. For years past thy mind has been troubled. Thou has prayed unto the Lord for strength and grace sufficient for thy day, and I say unto thee be comforted, for the Lord hath heard thy petitions. He knoweth the secrets of thy heart and will reward thee as thou shalt merit. Over many things thou hast been faithful for which thou shalt also receive thy reward. Therefore I say unto thee, from this time forward, be obedient to the laws of god, and seek wisdom and thou shalt desire a change, therefore let thy faith fail not. Thou hast suffered privations and witnessed trying events for the Gospel's sake. Therefore I say unto thee be at rest in thy mind. Seek to know the will of the Lord and strive to do thy duty and it shall be well with thee, for thy memory shall be strengthened as you reflect upon the past. Thy mind shall be enlightened as you look forward to the future. Therefore as thy duty is made known unto thee by the spirit seek to perform the same for thou art numbered among the fathers in Israel, therefore prepare thy self to go down to thy grave like a shock of corn fully ripe for the garner of our Lord. Counsel in righteousness among thy posterity that they may receive benefit from the experience which thou hast had in the past. Thou art of the blood of Joseph and thy name shall be written in the chronicles of thy fathers with thy brethren. Thou shalt also realize that the hand of the Lord has been over thee for good. Therefore give praise unto him. This blessing I seal up on thy head with the forgiveness of thy sins in the name of Jesus Christ and I seal thee up unto eternal life to come forth in the morning of the first resurrection as a king among thy kindred. Even so amen.

Brother Amos, in the name of Jesus Christ I place my hands upon thy head and pronounce and seal a blessing upon thee which shall be a guide and a comfort unto thee in time to come, for thou art of the lineage of Ephraim and an heir to the blessing of the New and Everlasting Covenant with the gifts promised to the sons of Zion among whom thou art numbered. Be prudent and seek to know the will of the Lord, for it is thy privilege to become a mighty man in Israel. Therefore, seek to inform thy mind and be diligent in doing good, and the vision of thine understanding shall be opened and thy faith shall increase, and thou shalt comprehend things past, present, and to come, and thy voice shall be heard in defense of the truth among the nations of the Earth. Many shall seek thee for counsel and rejoice in thy teachings. Notwithstanding the finger of scorn may be pointed at thee and the wicked lay snares for thy feet, no power shall prevail against thee as long as thou art in the discharge of thy duty. Thou shalt be prospered in thy journeyings at home or abroad and in thy labors spiritually and temporally. Thy day and years shall be according to thy faith and the desires of thy heart. Thou shalt fill up the measure of thy creation and thy name shall be honorable in the land. Thou shalt not lack for the comforts of life, but shall give unto the needy, cheer up the bowed down, and cause the fatherless to rejoice, and of thy faith fail not. Thou shalt preside over a stake in Zion and thou shalt be numbered hereafter with the fathers in Israel who shall receive their inheritance among the saints. 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 a saviour in thy father's house. Even so, Amen.
