Brother Ernest, in the name of Jesus of Nazareth I place my hands upon thy head to pronounce and seal a blessing upon thee and I say unto thee be of good faith and seek to obtain wisdom, knowledge and understanding. Also, inform thy mind in regard to the principles of life and salvation, for thou art numbered among the sons of Zion of whom much is expected. Therefore, prepare thyself for the events of the future, for the time is not far distant when thou shalt be called to labor in the ministry, and without doubt thou shall travel much for the Gospel sake and go again to thy native land and gather out from bondage many of the honest in heart who are now in Babylon, and if thou art faithful thou shalt have great joy therein, and thou shalt find friends among strangers, and thine enemies shall not hedge thee round about, but thou shall accomplish a good work and fulfill thy mission upon the Earth. Thou art of the blood of Joseph and shall receive thy Blessings in the Tribe of Ephriam. Thou art also entitled to the blessings of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and of the new and everlasting covenant in as much as thou will be humble and listen to the still small voice of the comforter. Therefore I say unto thee put thy trust in the Lord and the Angel of thy presence shall watch over thee and guard thy footsteps, and thou shall become a mighty man in Israel, and thy name shall be perpetuated and handed down in honorable remembrance and written in the Lamb's Book of Life. These Blessings I seal upon thy head and I seal thou up unto eternal life to come forth in the morning of the first Resurrection forever. Amen.

Brother John, in the name of Jesus Christ I lay my hands upon thy head and seal the blessings of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob upon thee, and say unto thee be faithful and honor thy calling. Live up to thy privileges and the blessings of the Lord shall attend thee, strengthen thy memory, open the eyes of thine understanding, and cause thy faith to increase, for thou hast a work to do which thou hast not yet conceived of.

It is thy privilege and duty to do a work for thy kindred and assist in gathering scattered Israel. It is thy duty to labor in the ministry and make thy voice heard among the nations of the earth, and become a wise counselor among thy brethren, exalt the saints to faithfulness, and take an active part among the fathers in Israel, that thy name may be known far and near, and thy name be handed down from generation to generation. It is thy privilege until thou art eighty and five years old.

Therefore be prudent and upon thy guard. Seek diligently to know the will of the Lord concerning thee, and listen to the whisperings of the still small voice of the comforter that the stumbling block may be removed from thy pathway, and also that you may have power over evil and unclean spirits and be enabled to hold the adversary at bay, for thou art of the lineage of Ephraim and entitled to the gifts of the priesthood. Thou shalt be enabled through prayer and faith to heal the sick by the laying on of hands, and if necessary thou shalt perform miracles in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.

This with 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.
