Brother Hiram, in the name of Jesus Christ I lay my hands upon thy head to seal a father's blessing upon thee, because thy father is absent, nevertheless thou art entitled to a blessing under my hands. Thou art of the seed and lineage of Joseph, who was sold into Egypt, and an heir to the blessing and priesthood which was sealed upon his head under the hands of his father, which will enable thee to be a Savior on Mount Zion to save thy dead and living friends, and to bring them up in the resurrection of the just, and to reign over them to all eternity, also to push the scattered remnants of Jacob from the ends of the earth, and no power on earth shall stay thy hand, for the Lord has given his angels charge over thee. They will guard thee by night and day, defend thee from all dangers, and no enemy shall prevail against thee, and no bonds nor chains shall stay thy progress. Thou shalt converse with angels from time to time. This shall be thy comfort when thou art far away from thy friends.

Thou shalt accomplish a great mission and bring thy thousands to Zion with their gold and silver and precious things to thine inheritance among thy brethren, and rest in peace with thy companion and a numerous posterity. The number of thy years shall be according to thy faith, even to see the winding up scene of this generation, to see Zion extended and peace established over the whole continent of America. Finally thou shalt have every desire of thy heart, and shall inherit glory, honor, immortality, and eternal life, and I also seal this blessing upon thy posterity forever. If thy faith fail not not one word of this blessing shall fail, for I seal it upon thee by the authority of the Holy Priesthood. Amen.

Sister Mary, beloved of the Lord, in the name of Jesus of Nazareth I place my hands upon thy head and seal upon you the blessing of a father, even all the blessings of the new and everlasting covenant. Thou art of the blood and lineage of Ephraim and art a legal heir to the priesthood which shall be sealed upon you in fullness in due time, teaching you mysteries that have been kept hid from before the foundation of the world. You shall also have power to heal the sick in thine house and among thy sex. Thou shalt even have power to raise the dead if it be necessary for the salvation of Israel. Thou shalt see thy friends and fathers house embrace the gospel and confess unto thee that thou art in the way of truth and righteousness. Thou shalt be blest in thy basket and thy store in thy house, and about thy habitation you shall have all things which your heart desirest, servants and handmaidens that will delight to do thy will. Thou shall be satisfied with the riches of the earth. The riches of eternity shall be given unto thee. You shall live if you desire it to see the winding up scene of this generation, see a temple built in Jackson County Missouri, and the glory of the Lord rest upon it, and shall receive the greatest blessing in that you ever received before in all your life. This is thy blessing which I seal upon you and it shall not fail. Your children shall multiply as the sand upon the sea shore and be mighty in the priesthood. Even so, Amen.
