*****: By virtue of the Patriarchal Order, I place my hands upon your head and give unto you a blessing that it may be a guide to you throughout life.

Thou art of Ephraim and entitled to all the blessings that have been promised to the seed of Abraham and to the children of Israel since his day. You have been permitted to come forth in the dispensation of the fullness of time and to participate in the closing scenes of this world's history before the ushering in of the millennium. The Lord has a work for you and you will be shown this work as you grow in years and in knowledge and understanding here in the earth.

I say unto you, continue to pray as you have been taught, because you are privileged to have goodly parents, to be born under the new and everlasting Covenant, and if you will continue to pray and to draw near unto the Lord in your youth, Satan will not have power to lead you astray, and as you grow you will undertake responsibilities in the Church, and the Lord will multiply your blessings and give you great joy in His work. You are to become a leader in Israel and many will look to you for guidance and for comfort and help, and you will be strong in the preaching of the Gospel to those with whom you come in contact, and many will rejoice because of your testimony.

In due time you will be given a helpmeet who will help not only in the teaching and bringing up in righteousness of your children, but also in your labors and duties in the Church, and together you will have great joy in the good that you will do in the Church and Kingdom of our Heavenly Father and also in your Priesthood, and you shall have power to lay hold upon eternal life and to work out your own exaltation in the Kingdom of our Heavenly Father, and to help others along the way to see the light and to be faithful in the keeping of the commandments of our Heavenly Father.

I say unto you, be of good cheer and hearken unto the words of your father and mother because they seek to guide you aright, and if you will honor them they will help you along life's way to lay hold of all the blessings to which you are entitled.

I seal you up to come forth in the First Resurrection with power and glory with which you will be crowned, and also as a saviour upon Mount Zion that you will not only do work for the living, but for the dead and rejoice with them in their salvation.

These blessings, dear little brother, I seal upon you by virtue of the Priesthood in me vested and in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
