Brother George B, in the Name of Jesus of Nazareth I lay my hands upon thy head, and by the authority vested in me to bless the fatherless I place upon thy head the Blessings of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and also the priesthood that Jacob placed upon the heads of his sons, which has been handed down through the fathers, which shall be transferred unto thy posterity throughout all the generations through out all time and all eternity, that thou shalt enjoy the fruits of the earth. Thy posterity shall be numerous even as the tribes of Ephraim, of which thou art a descendant, and thou shalt receive a crown of glory when thy Brethren are crowned because thou has been faithful through many trials and persecutions and have not faltered. Thy latter days shall be better than thy former. Possess thy { } in the Patience and thou shalt have power to overcome all things, and I seal upon thy head the Blessings that have been conferred upon the heads of former Patriarchs. These Blessings I seal upon thee in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen and Amen.
