Brother George, by virtue of the Priesthood resting on me, I lay my hands upon thy head and seal upon thee thy father's blessings with all thy former blessings that have been ratified upon thee. Thou art blessed of the Lord and numbered with the seed of Abraham. And thou shalt rejoice with the seed of Joseph, for thou hast the blood of Ephraim. The blessings of the priesthood shall rest upon thee and thy posterity after thee. The gifts of the Gospel shall rest upon thy mind, and thy tongue will yet be unloosed to proclaim glad tidings and to proclaim the everlasting gospel upon the distant islands. Thou shalt be blessed in winning souls to Christ. The power of the Priesthood will rest upon thee. Thou shalt have power from on high to convince thousands that now sit in darkness. Thy labors shall be crowned with blessings and thy name invoked with the great men of the earth because thy heart is filled with love of the Lord thy God, and to His cause. Prepare thy heart and mind for the work of the Lord, let it become stored with the principles of truth and intelligence, and no opposition shall put thee to silence. And if thou art tried, it will be for thy good. For thou shalt have power and influence over every wicked spirit.
Victory shall be placed upon thy crown, and if thou art placed in prison thou shalt have power that shall cause bolts and doors to burst at thy voice. Thy faith shall reach the Heavens and thou shalt be blessed and crowned with sheaves, for thy rejoicing, in the day of the Lord Jesus. And thou shalt return to Zion with songs of everlasting joy. There thou shalt receive thine everlasting inheritance and rejoice with the society of thy posterity and be crowned with celestial glory, in the name of the Father. Even so, Amen and Amen.
