Brother George, with my hands upon your head I give myself into the hands of the living God, that He may prompt me to speak such things concerning thee as He in His kindness shall show. Thou hast been a man of greater patience than many men who have stood high in authority over their fellow men. Yet something whispers to me that thou dost feel in thy own estimation to deserve these words spoken concerning thee. But thou has under the most trying circumstances stood forth and proclaimed the everlasting Gospel where other men would falter and fail to give a faithful witness. Thou has been tried to the very center and sounded to the very core. Yet thou never hast denied the Lord God of Joseph, and through the loins of Joseph hast thou sprung, and thy fathers before thee hath waded through affliction and sorrows and have been pursued by evil designing men because of their holding authority, and not understanding the principles of peace, pursued all that was opposed to them in order to conquer them by power. The living flame of light that was with thy fathers caused thy heart to burn at the joyful sound of truth, when thou didst hear it and received it with a joyful heart. Thou hast truly been a Savior on Mount Zion. When you were tried the spirit that was in thee and lift up thy mind with the spirit of reason, thou didst step forth and labor for the good of the Saints, trusting in the God that thou didst serve for thy pay in after days.

Heaven is full of blessings for thee dear brother, for thou hast endured, and in patience hast thou kept thyself from the evil of the world, All thy trials will be made up to thee, and innumerable blessings shall be added to them. Thy posterity shall be numerous, and in the end shalt thou have power over them all and those who have sought to do thee harm will someday become thy warm friends. Because of the honesty of thy hear thou wilt say to some, "You meant it for evil but God meant it for good." I seal these blessings upon thee and all the blessings that hast been promised upon thy head by other men appointed of the Lord shall be fulfilled concerning thee, and thy days hereafter shall be multiplied upon thee according to the desire of your heart. Thou shalt have part in the morning of the first resurrection as others have promised upon thee. Even so. Amen.
