Brother James Stapleton Lewis, in the name of the Lord I place my hand upon your head and with pleasure I bless you with a Patriarchal and a Father's blessing. You have proven you are worthy to inherit all the blessings promised to Abraham and his seed. You are a legal heir unto them and like Abraham of old you have passed through many troubles and always proven yourself faithful to your covenants before the Lord, and because of your integrity, the Lord will bless you and you will be crowned among the foremost in his kingdom. Your blessings are great and you shall live and enjoy greater blessings in your life than you have ever done in former days. Like Abraham you shall be blessed in your posterity and you shall realize the fulfillment of every promise placed upon your head. Seek after comfort and happiness the remainder of your days and do not do hard labor - you have done sufficient, and if you will take care of yourself and devote the remainder of your life more diligently in your duties in the kingdom of God, your heart will be filled with glory, with joy, and as a fountain of light the power and spirit of the Lord shall dwell within you. The Heavens shall be opened unto you, and you shall experience, in part, the glory and influence that shall surround you when you are crowned with the glory and blessing and honor and power and eternal lives in the celestial Kingdom of God your Eternal Father. Seek after these things and you shall enjoy a greater degree of health and vitality, and you shall live until you are satisfied with life. If you will adhere to the whisperings of the spirit, you will take care of your body and devote yourself to the comfort of yourself and family the remainder of your days. You shall pass away in joy and great pleasure, by dreams and visions you shall be comforted for there is not a blessing that you can enjoy on earth but what you shall receive, for your hope shall grow bright and brighter from day to day, and your faith shall increase and the testimony that your Redeemer lives shall be greater and brighter every day of your life. You will be a Redeemer in the midst of the servants of God. You shall come forth in the first Resurrection and shall perform a great work in bringing forth your dead. Your kingdom will be a great one, and the glory and the power of it will never end.

I seal upon you the blessings that are promised to the faithful saints, even the blessing of immortality and eternal life. You shall wear a bright and glorious crown and shall inherit all the keys and powers of the Resurrection and of the Holy Priesthood of the living God. You shall come with the Redeemer, with all the angels flying through the midst of Heaven when He shall take vengeance on the wicked. The Lord loves thee and will bless thee, and thy latter days will be the best. In contemplating the blessings that are placed upon your head for there is not a blessing you can ask for or think of but what I seal upon your head by the virtue of the Holy Priesthood in the name of Jesus Christ Amen
