Brother William I lay my hands upon your head and I bless you with a father's blessings. You are of the lineage of Israel and you are entitled to all the blessings of the New and Everlasting Covenant. You are as a fruitful vine that is laden with much precious fruit. And if you will desire it with all your heart and will have faith in God, doubting not, you shall assist in building temples and shall administer therein for the living and the dead. And I say unto you, Brother William, go and have your wife sealed to you, that your children may be natural heirs to the Priesthood of the Son of God. For in this there is safety, and out of this there is no safety. Let your desires be unto God and hearken to the council of the Servants of God. And you shall be blessed in the fruits of your loins, and your children shall possess the gates of their enemies.
You shall be blessed with fields and flocks, with houses and land, and your children shall never want for bread. You shall have an inheritance in the Zion of Enoch, and be of that happy number that shall be all of one heart and of one mind. And I say unto you Brother William, do right and have faith doubting not, and the visions of Eternity shall be open before you. You shall come forth in the morning of the First Resurrection and shall eat of the bread of life and live forever. I seal you up unto Eternal Life with forgiveness of your sins. In the name of Jesus - Amen.
