  1. This entry is taken out of context. Here is the clearer context:

    " ... thou shalt see the Riches of the Earth uncovered for thy good and the good of the faithfull Saints and the good of Zion to thy heart’s content. ..."

    This is also at least the 2nd Patriarchal Blessing given to JHS. A PB was given to JHS by John Oakley at Snowflake, Arizona on Dec.27, 1887 and was subsequently recorded in JHS Diary 2-B on Mon.Apr.23, 1888.
