Brother James S. Lewis, I lay my hands upon thy head in the name of Jesus Christ and seal upon thee a father's blessing. Thou art of the house of Joseph through the loins of Ephraim and one of the fishers and hunters who are to go forth and search out and gather together the remnants of Jacob from the ends of the earth, and God shall give thee power through the Holy Priesthood which is sealed upon thee to do a mighty work in the day. Thousands shall obey the gospel through thy teaching among the gentiles, and thou shalt lead them to Zion with much riches.

Thou shalt also go among the Lamanites and shall have great power over them. Thou shalt bring thousands of them to a knowledge of their Redeemer and establish them in the cities of the saints.

No power on earth shall stay thine hand for thou shalt be able to speak the language of any people and do any miracle which was ever done by man in the name of Jesus when it is necessary for the salvation of men; thou shalt have an inheritance in Zion among thy brethren and be very rich and thy posterity shall be very numerous and shall be honorable among the Saints forever, and if you desire it with a perfect heart, thou shalt live to see the winding up scene of this generation and enjoy every blessing you desire - stand on the earth and reign with the Savior a thousand years, being clothed with the authority of a Priest and a king unto God and in the House of Israel forever. Endure in faith dear brother, and no word shall fail which I have spoken for I seal it upon thee and thy posterity forever - Amen.
