Brother William Henry by the authority of the Holy Priesthood vested and in the name of Jesus Christ I place my hands upon the crown of your head and confer upon you a patriarchal blessing. I bless thee with a renewal of bodily health and strength that will enable thee to go forth upon the earth and accomplish the mission that God sent you forth upon the earth to fill. I also bless thee with the gift of faith, wisdom, revelation and the spirit of discernment. Through exercise of those gifts you may have power to rebuke Satan, heal the sick and perform any miracle that would be necessary for the accomplishment of God's work upon the earth, and that you may have power through the exercise of the gift of wisdom to thwart the enemy of all righteousness and bring to naught the plans of the wicked. I bless you that you may have power to travel by day and by night for the spread of the Gospel without fainting or falling by the wayside. I say unto thee fear not but put thy trust in the Lord and be valiant in this cause and the enemy shall not have power to confound thee or bring thy labors to naught for the angels of Heaven will watch over thee and bear thee up all thy days and the Lord will bless thee with the outpourings of His holy spirit to cheer thee up and to reveal His mind and will unto thee under the most trying circumstances that thou wilt be called to meet.

I bless thee with the blessings of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Thou shalt become a fruitful bough in Israel. Thy posterity shall become numerous and thou shalt never want a representative in Israel for thy name shall always be recorded and held in remembrance in the archives of the Church of God; and thy posterity shall rise up in a day to come and call thee blessed; and thou shalt become a savior unto thy progenitors. In the due time of the Lord thou shalt be blessed with a companion who will be suited to thy needs and thou shalt have joy and satisfaction in associating with her and that this may be brought about as speedily as possible I say unto thee make it a matter of prayer and call earnestly upon the name of the Lord and submit to the dictates of His Holy Spirit and you will not be disappointed. I bless thee that thou mayest have the privilege of laboring for the redemption of the dead. I also bless thee that thou mayest become fruitful in the good things of this world that thy labors may be crowned with success, that houses and lands herds and flocks, gold and silver and all precious things shall be multiplied unto thee according to the wisdom of the Lord. I say unto thee seek knowledge and wisdom from good books and from every source that the Lord shall open up before thee and the Lord will cause that thy mind will become retentive and fruitful and thou shalt become mighty and powerful in the testimony of Jesus and the wicked and the ungodly shall quail and tremble at thy presence and at the sound of thy voice for thy voice shall become a terror unto the wicked and the evil doer.

Thou shalt become mighty and wise in council in the midst of thy brethren for thy mind shall be enlightened by the spirit of revelation and thou shalt know how to do and what to do under all the circumstances in which thou art placed. Thou wilt be called by the priesthood of God to fill high and responsible callings in the midst of the people and I say unto thee be faithful and guard every trust that is imposed upon thee with the same care that you would guard and protect thy eyesight. If you will do this God will make you mighty and you will make no failures for the Lord will help you to make a full success of all things required at your hands or committed unto your care. I say unto you dear brother, lift up thy heart and rejoice for thou art of Ephraim and the Heavens are full of blessings for thee and for thy posterity. I bless thee with every blessing that thy heart can desire in righteousness, with power to come forth in the morning of the resurrection and be crowned and numbered with the faithful and the pure in heart. Be faithful and true and these blessings shall be thine. I seal them upon thee in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
