Brother Stewart — in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ — and by virtue of the priesthood I hold, I lay my hands on your head to give you a patriarchal blessing. I bless you with life and health and vigor of mind and body and pray that the power of God will rest upon you in the arduous duties you may have to perform. Your Father in Heaven will bless you for your faithful labors. You have been faithful in the discharge of your duties; your labors have been many; you have devoted much of your life to your Heavenly Father's cause. You belong to that noble tribe of patriarchs, the Tribe of Ephraim, and the blessings of your progenitors will rest down before you. Your Father in Heaven will pour out His Holy Spirit upon you and you will have power over the enemies of truth and you will continue to awaken and teach the truth to the inhabitants of God's footstool. God will bless your family and you will continue to bring them up in the paths of truth and righteousness. You will be blessed in your new undertaking. The Holy Ghost will aid you that you will accomplish your heart's desires in righteousness. You will honor your parents by taking up their work for the living and the dead in the House of the Lord. God will bless you in all your efforts to do good, and your faithfulness will be a crown of glory to you. Your labors and efforts and his choice blessings will rest upon you and your family. I seal these blessings upon you by the power of the holy priesthood I hold and ask the Eternal Father to seal and ratify these blessings in the heavens. I seal these blessings upon you in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ — Amen.
