Beloved Brother Gibson Condie, I place my hands upon thy head to give thee a patriarchal blessing, which order has been ordained in these last days, even to his servant Joseph Smith, for the benefit of the people of God, and also for the benefit of those who desire their blessings for their good and for their comfort. And, Beloved Brother, inasmuch as thou hast desired a blessing at the hands of God, through his servant who has his hands laid upon your head, you shall receive it by the gift and power of God, and the gift of the Holy Ghost and the spirit of revelation. And I say unto thee, Brother, take fresh courage from today, and the Lord, thy God, who knows the secrets of thy heart and the intentions of thy mind, shall give thee thy heart's desire in everything which thou wilt ask him for with an eye single to the glory of God. Beloved brother, thy life shall be spared long upon the land, to do much good for thyself and thy companion, and for thy children; for the Lord, thy God, has heard thy prayers, and has answered them upon thy head, for the good of thyself and for the good of thy children; and the eye of the Lord has been over thee from a child, to preserve thy life by day and by night, be sea and by land, and in sickness. Therefore, lift up thy heart and rejoice, for thou shalt be blessed with the blessings of long life and health and strength; and the Lord; inasmuch as thou will seek unto him for wisdom and knowledge to order thee in thy duties, shall give them unto thee, for the benefit of thyself and thy children and posterity that shall come after thee.

Thou art of a noble seed, even that of Joseph through the loins of Ephraim; and thou art privileged and entitled to all the blessings of all the Holy Priesthood, which shall be made known from time to time by the authorities of the Church, and it shall be given unto thee in the due time of the Lord, all that thou desirest for thy good, and for thy children's children; and the Lord God Almighty has answered thy prayers for the sake of thy children. And thy sons and thy daughters have been pure in heart to receive their blessings. I know it by the spirit of revelation and the gift of prophecy; and I tell you these things, brother, because thou desirest them in thy heart, and has sought after them, and hast taught thy children the ways of the Lord. They will never forget. I pray my Father that thou mayest be preserved, that no evil power, no seducing spirit of any kind, name or nature, may draw thee aside from the love of truth. And they will not, brother, because of the integrity of thy heart, and for the prevailing spirit, which is of the noble of heaven. I ask my Father to take charge of thee from today, and to heal up thy body from the crown of thy head to the soles of thy feet. And when thou art sick and afflicted, beloved brother, call upon the Lord, who will answer thy prayers. And thou wilt have power to rebuke sickness from thine own body.

And I pray my Father to preserve thy life; and I seal thee up from danger, seen and unseen, and from the powers of darkness, and from wicked and designing men, so that they shall not have power to hurt thee, nor have power to claim anything of thee, only the discharge of thy duty. I ask my Father to lengthen out thy days, that thou shalt live and go to the Temple, yet, for thy posterity, and for thine own house, and for thy father's house, and for thine ancestors, and many faithful Latter-day Saints, whom thou hast associated with in this world, that thou mayest yet do a work for the dead also. I ask my Father to let his guardian angel go before thee, and protect thee by day and by night; and everything that you put your hands to do. Brother, the Lord shall protect, and you shall be increased in the blessings of the Lord, both temporal and spiritual. And I ask the Lord to let his guardian angel go before, on the right and on the left, that thou turn not away from the ways of God; and thou wilt not, Brother Condie, for thou art one of the choicest spirits, which has come down upon the earth to do a work for thy family; and the Lord will lengthen out thy days to do it.

And these are the blessings which have been made unto you by the still small voice, and by the spirit of revelation and the gift of prophecy since my hands have been upon thy head. Lift up thy head and rejoice, brother; and when thou goest home, thou shalt find thy house repaired, as it were. The sickness shall be better, and the power of the Lord shall rest upon thee abundantly, yet, in thine house, when sickness comes upon any of thy children. But, I pray thee my Heavenly Father that no sickness that shall come within thy house, or any disease that comes along, shall have power to injure thy children; but they shall grow up in the fear of the Lord and in the knowledge of God, and be a blessing to you; and thy son Thomas shall be a blessing unto thee, and in the due time of the Lord. God shall unloosen his mouth, and loosen his tongue and he shall be a teacher and a faithful witness to the things of God unto the people, in the due time of the Lord.

I seal these things upon you by virtue of the priesthood, and I seal thee up, that thou shouldest come forth in the morning of the first resurrection, with thy posterity, with thy father's posterity, and thine ancestors of the faithful saints, and thou shalt live till thou art ripe like a shock of corn. And I rebuke all kinds of sickness, and command it to leave thy house; and in the name of Jesus Christ, and by virtue of the Holy Priesthood, even so, beloved brother, Amen and Amen.

Brother Gibson, in the name of Jesus Christ I lay my hands upon thy head to impart unto thee a father's blessing and patriarchal blessing. Thou art a son of Abraham of the family of Joseph through the loins of Ephraim, a legal heir to the holy priesthood, which thou shalt receive in the due time of the Lord, according to thy diligence in its fullness. Thou hast received the gospel with good and honest heart. It is and shall be more than thy meat and thy drink to do thy father's will in heaven. Thou hast been diligent and faithful in the labour of thy hands and thou hast to perform thy duty in the interest of Zion in which labours the Lord thy God hast blessed thee in thy house and in thy family and with kindred. Thou shalt be a savior on Mount Zion, a savior to thy father's house to redeem thy kindred back to thy fathers who died in the Holy Priesthood back to Adam. Thy head shalt be strengthened by the Spirit of God, thy brains shall be blessed and become a healthy condition; thy mind shall become clear and comprehensive and thou shalt possess a discernment of spirits. Thy body shalt be strengthened and invigorated and the Holy Ghost shall rest upon thee to strengthen and enlighten and inform thee, and thy feet shall be shod with the preparation of peace. The holy ghost shall be a lamp to thy feet and a light to thy path that thou shalt not stumble nor fall. Thou shalt be blessed in thy fields and in thy flocks and herds and thy basket and store and thou shalt be greatly blessed with wisdom as a counsellor in Zion.

Thy sons and daughters shall rise up and call thee blessed for thou shalt come down to thy grave as a shock of corn fully ripe. Thou shalt be endowed with the attributes of faith and patience and perseverance, and wisdom and understanding shalt be given thee. And thou shalt become one of the great and good. It is thy privilege to see Zion redeemed and the kingdom of God to be given to the Saints of the Most High, to labour up for the kingdom of God upon the earth, and thy way and duty shall be plain before thee; able to perform thy duty from day to day, and thy reward shall be sure. Thou shalt be exalted on high. Thou shalt receive a glorious resurrection and inherit celestial glory with your companions and these blessings together with all you can earn and all that your heart desire in righteousness, I seal upon your head in the name of Jesus, even so, Amen.
