Brother Albert Dickson: In the name of Jesus Christ I lay my hands upon your head and bless you with the blessings of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob; and you are of the lineage of Abraham through the loins of Joseph, and your Blessing shall be like theirs. I bless you with the blessing of wisdom and understanding which shall enable you to perform all your duties and labors which the Lord shall require of you. You shall be filled with counsel to give to all those that requires it of you, and if they heed it, it will direct them in the path of wisdom, and you shall never lack for wisdom in as much as you are humble before the Lord in under all circumstances, and you shall be a guide to your own father's house and shall be a father to them; and you shall be enabled to counsel them in all things as father. Your days shall be full of usefulness in midst of thy Brethren. It shall please your heart to do good to those that need assistance, and you shall be lifted above those that may seek to destroy you. You shall have power over the adversary and you shall have judgment to enable you to judge between good and evil and to counsel your house in righteousness. It is the desire of your heart to judge between right and wrong, and you shall live many days yet upon the earth for your mission is not yet finished. It is the desire of your heart to love the Lord and He loveth you because of your integrity. You shall stand upon the earth to see many changes in the Kingdom, and to see his people united in the gospel, and you shall stand upon Mount Zion. This blessing I seal upon you in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
