In the name of the Lord Jesus, I lay my hands upon thy head to seal upon you a Patriarchal blessing which shall continue with you through your life and all time to come. You are of the seed of Israel through the loins of Joseph who was sold into Egypt and a descendant of Ephraim. You shall inherit a great portion of the blessings that were pronounced upon the head of Ephraim which have come through the loins of your father and they will continue with your posterity after you, for you have been a lover of truth from your childhood and you shall merit these blessings by your faithfulness and diligence in time to come. You shall inherit the earth in this life and eternal riches in the life to come for it has been your desire from your childhood to know the mind and will of the Lord and the blessings and privileges that you can attain to that you might inherit the earth with the resurrection of the Just. These blessings I seal upon your head for you are a literal descendant through this lineage that has been pronounced upon your head in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Brother George Franklin Richards, according to the desire of thy heart, I lay my hands upon thy head and by virtue and authority of the Holy Priesthood vested in me, I pronounce and seal upon thee a Patriarchal blessing. I say unto thee that thou hast been preserved according to the mind and will of God in the eternal heavens and didst covenant to come forth to labor and perform a mission upon this earth in aiding and publishing the Everlasting Gospel and bringing together the remnants of Israel and aiding in establishing Zion on this continent in the latter-days until Zion shall flourish in magnitude, power and glory and thou shalt receive the glories of Zion. The Spirit of thy office and calling in the Holy Priesthood shall abundantly rest upon you. Thou shalt be blessed in all thy labors. The Holy Ghost shall rest upon thee and enlighten thy mind and reveal and manifest unto thee pertaining to the great things that are going to transpire during thy mission through all the days of thy sojourn in this life. Thou shalt comprehend many things that have been revealed down to the present day and also many things that yet remain to be revealed. Thou art of Israel of the seen of Joseph through the loins of the seed of Ephraim. Thou shalt be blessed with health and strength and in all things thou puttest thy hand to do in righteousness.
