Sister Martha Maria I place my hands upon thy head and will bless thee according to the directions of the Spirit, that the same may be handed down to be remembered among thy friends so that they can praise and contemplate this blessing in their minds. Thou hast had many serious thoughts. It has all been for thy good, for thou art one of the favored of heaven, belonging to the royal blood of the House of Israel, but hath been unfortunate in some things, but all things shall work for thy good, so that all things shall be made up to thy satisfaction and the Lord will shower down upon thee. He knows thy heart and has given his angels charge concerning thee. Because of the good desire of thy heart the Lord will quicken thy understanding. Thy mind shall penetrate to the very depths of the truths of heaven. Thou shalt be a bright and shining light to all around thee inasmuch as thou wilt receive these things and treasure them up in thy mind. Thou shalt have great manifestations, and the awakening powers from on high shall bring many things to thy remembrance that thou wilt seem to have known them before. And thou shalt live to be a mother in Israel and be able to give good counsel to all around thee. Thou shalt have a companion that will love thee and take great pleasure in administering the comforts of life, and thou shalt have a posterity that will speak well of thee and will become bright and shining witnesses before all people that shall become acquainted with them.
Lift up thy heart and rejoice, for the Lord is well pleased with the integrity of thy heart. He will not leave thee or forsake thee, neither will he let much sickness bear thee down because thou art striving to serve thy God. And thou shalt have the comforts of life and be able to spread a table with the rich bounties of the earth, so that thou wilt be able to minister to thy friends according to thy heart's desire, for it shall be given to you when there is no Elder around so that the sick shall recover, and many blessings that cannot be here spoken of are for thee in the future. For thou hast sprung from the House of Joseph and the precious blood of Ephraim that has to be tried, that always overcomes. And thou wilt not be apt to be deceived by the evil influences that are from beneath. Thou wilt have the gift of comparing the spirits, so that thou shalt judge what which is right and will receive it. And thou shalt overcome and have right to the tree of life and will partake of it to thy satisfaction. All that is needed when dark clouds arise is to hold to the rod of iron and thou shalt come out from the cloud like the full moon in its splendor and spread thy light to all around thee. Something strikes me that thou mayest live till the Son of God shall make his appearance. All is well with thee, and thy name is written in the Lamb's Book of Life. Even so. Amen.
