For thou shalt be wise in council among they sex; and many of riper years shall honor thy judgement. Thou shalt be [wise in-deleted] a peace maker among they associates and in due time thou shalt secure unto thy-self a companion whom thou shalt delight to honor. PATRIARCHAL_BLESSING: Thy sons and daughters shall grow up around thee, be a comfort unto thee and bear thy name in honorable remembrance. PATRIARCHAL_BLESSING: Thou shalt have joy in thy daily avocations, thy table shall be spread with the bounties of the earth.

PATRIARCHAL_BLESSING: Therefore, be upon your guard; listen to the whisperings of the still small voice of the comforter, and all shall be well with thee, both here and hereafter.

Thou shalt also be enabled thru prayer and faith to heal the sick of thy family and hold the adversary at bay that health and peace may reign in thy dwelling. Thou art of Ephraim and thine inheritance is among the Saints. This blessing I seal upon upon thee in the name of Jesus Christ and I seal thee up unto eternal life to come forth in the morning of the first resurrection, with many of thy kindred and friends. Even so, Amen. PATRIARCHAL_BLESSING: Blessing given by Patriarch John Smith PATRIARCHAL_BLESSING: Volume 52, page 50. !Record of Verna W. Smith in possession of H. Parley Smith, Jr. Lila Y.
