A blessing by E.M. Green, Patriarch, on the head of George Hind, son of Thomas and Ann Beeton Hind, born 23 May 1843 at Calverton, Nottinghamshire, England.

Brother George in the name of Jesus Christ I lay my hands upon your head to give you a fathers blessing, even a Patriarchal blessing and these blessings shall be unto thee a seal and a token of the promises that was made unto the Fathers which should be verified upon the heads of the children in the last days.

You are of the house of Israel of the tribe of Benjamin and Ephraim and shall be made partakers of those promises which were made to the sons of Joseph and the sons of Benjamin and your posterity which shall be great, and shall be known among the sons and daughters of those tribes when Israel is gathered and Zion is redeemed.

You shall rejoice because of the labors which you shall perform and because of the labors which your sons-shall perform. [From] your posterity shall arise wise and noble men who shall do much in helping to establish Zion and to build the cities. There you shall have much power and influence with your posterity and with the children of your people with whom you are associated in leading them in the ways of righteousness.

You shall live to see your posterity to the third generation and in your old age [they] shall rise up and call you blessed and like Jacob of old you shall rise and bless your posterity and your sons shall rejoice.

I seal upon your head all the blessings of the new and everlasting covenant with all blessings that your soul shall desire in righteousness through your faith and faithfulness. I seal you up unto eternal lives in the kingdom of our God to come forth in the resurrection of the just crowned with immortality and eternal lives. Even so, Amen.
