[Blessing given to Vilate Kimball (wife of Heber C. Kimball), by Hyrum Smith, Patriarch to the Church, March 9, 1842]
Beloved Sister: I lay my hands upon your head in the name of Jesus, and seal
you unto eternal life—sealed here on earth and sealed in heaven, and
your name written in the Lamb’s Book of Life never to be blotted out.
The same is mentioned and manifested to comfort your heart, and to be a comfort
unto you henceforth all your days. It is even a promise according to the mind
of the Spirit, and the Spirit shall bear record of the truth; the same is called
the Second Comforter, not his presence, but his promise. The same is as immutable
as an oath by Himself, because there is none greater blessing that can be given,
and no greater riches, it being the riches of eternity, which are the greatest
riches of all riches.
