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.

Dear Brother Gibson, as you have come here desiring in your heart a patriarchal blessing, I feel to say that you will not be disappointed, that there is a blessing for you, that the life you have led, faith and good works that you have shown, entitled you to a blessing, even a patriarchal blessing. I say Dear Brother continue in the future as you have in the past, working by word and deed for the building of the Kingdom of God, and the establishment of Zion on the earth, that God will give his angel, or your guardian angel charge concerning you, that will be on your right hand and on your left, and always on hand in the hours of trial or temptation to say 'this is the way walk ye in it,' that you will not go astray, but will be able to discern that straight and narrow path that leads thee unto everlasting life. There are many days before you, and you will have an opportunity of doing a work, yet, one that will be pleasing to you and satisfactory to those to whom you hold yourself amenable for your acts. God will bless you in body, so that your life will be prolonged that you will not be cut short before you finish your days, and what you will see in your future life the manifestations of the power of God, that you will behold the great judgments as spoken of by the prophets, the sun being darkened and the moon turned to blood, the sea heaving beyond its bounds, the great calamities that will come upon the wicked. You will see! And you will be able to realize that God is at work, that it is his hand. It's his work that is bringing these things about. Your children will not stray away from the ordinances of the house of God. Your name will be perpetuated by your children in honor to the latest generation, and your wife, your companion will stay with you and will not forsake you, become estranged or alien to you, but will cling to you like the cords of death. Dear Brother, I seal upon you the Holy Spirit of promise of eternal life, and I seal you up unto eternal life to come forth in the morning of the first resurrection. This I do by the authority of the Holy Melchizedek Priesthood which has been conferred upon me in the name of Jesus, even so, Amen.
