Brother George Washington Bradley, thou art numbered with the Fathers in Israel and as such thy fame shall be known far and near and thy name shall be handed down with thy posterity in honorable remembrance from generation to generation, and in the name of Jesus Christ I seal all the blessings which have been conferred upon thee by any of the servants of God, holding authority and say unto thee continue firm in thine integrity for the eye of the Lord hath been upon thee from thy youth. He hath warded off the shafts of the adversary, which hath been hurled at thee and preserved thy life for a wise purpose, notwithstanding the trials, difficulties, and privations through which thou has been called to pass in consequence of the evil desires of the adversary. The Lord hath been mindful of thee, and these things shall be according [accounted] unto thee for righteousness and thou shalt verily receive thy reward and shall live to fill thy mission upon the earth, and secure unto thyself the blessings of Eternal Life. Thou art the only legal heir to do the work for thy fathers and thou shalt be a Saviour among thy kindred, that many may rejoice with thee hereafter in the Kingdom of God; therefore, I say unto thee, be at rest in thy mind and let thy heart be comforted, for thy name is written in the Lamb's Book of Life, and thou shalt receive thine inheritance on Mount Zion, the New Jerusalem. Health and peace shall be in thy circle, inasmuch as thou wilt follow the promptings of the Spirit and put thy trust in the Lord. Thy mind shall also be strengthened that thou shalt counsel in righteousness among the Saints and many shall yet rejoice in thy teachings for thy last days shall be thy best days; therefore, rejoice and give praise unto whom praise is due and if thou lack wisdom, ask in faith and thy guardian angel will whisper in thine ear and give thee council in time of need. This blessing I seal upon thy head in the name of Jesus of Nazareth, and I seal thee up unto eternal life with power to come forth in the morning of the first resurrection with many of thy kindred and friends, even so Amen. |
Sister Elizabeth, by virtue of the holy priesthood I lay my hands upon thy head and ask God the Eternal Father for his spirit to rest upon thee and fill thee with the influence thereof, and give thee strength of body and mind, and make the equal unto every task, and strength and grace sufficient for thy day. Thou art of the house of Israel and entitled through obedience to the gospel to many blessings which thou shalt receive in the tribe of Ephraim, which was the lineage of thy forefathers for whom thou hast to do. Be of good cheer, for the Lord knoweth the secrets of thy heart and will reward thee for the trials through which thou hast passed, and thou shalt be blessed in the labor of thy hands and shall not lack for food, raiment, and shelter. Seek to do good and thou shalt have the spirit of counsel and be blessed in thine outgoings and incomings and thy basket and store. Thy table shall be spread with the bounties of the Earth and thou shalt impart unto the needy. Thou art numbered with the mothers in Israel and thy name shall be had in remembrance among the saints and written in the Lamb's book of life. Thy children shall be a comfort unto thee in thine old age. Therefore be of good cheer, for thy last days shall be thy best days. This with all 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. |
