daughter of   HENRY EVANS GILES AND CATHERINE EVANS GILES

Born    Sept. 10, 1895 ,              at                              PROVO, UTAH

	Sister Ida G. Sharp, by virtue of my office and calling in the Holy Priesthood I lay my hands upon thy head, and as the Spirit of the Lord shall direct me give unto thee a patriarchal blessing to be a comfort and a benefit unto thee throughout this life, according to thy faithfulness.
	Thou art of the lineage of Ephraim, numbered among the chosen daughters of Zion in these the last days, and as long as thou wilt hold sacred thy blessings, and continue to put thy trust in the Lord, thou shalt be given courage and strength to go forth in the discharge of thy duties, and shall also be given means and opportunity to develop and exercise thy gifts for the good and blessing of kindred, friends and strangers, both old and young. Thou shalt also be granted health for thy labors, through thy obedience to the laws of nature and the word of wisdom. Therefore guard well thy health and exercise thy gifts. Learn also to follow the whisperings of that still small voice, through which many of thy duties will be made plain, and through which thou shall be guided in the path of safety. Thou shalt also be provided for concerning every righteous need. Friends shall be raised up in times of need, and thou need never lack for the comforts and necessities of this life, and thy good name and thy good deeds will live after thee in honorable remembrance, and in due time thou shalt be crowned with thy blessings among the honored mothers in the house of Israel, and many will rejoice over the fruits of thy labors and over thy words of comfort and good cheer. Therefore continue to put thy trust in the Lord and be not discouraged, but be humble and faithful, and thou shalt be comforted in answer to thy prayers.
	These blessings, with all thy Heart desires in righteousness, I seal upon thy head through thy faithfulness, and I seal thee up unto eternal life, to come forth in the resurrection of the just with thy kindred and loved ones among the redeemed and glorified of Israel, by virtue of the Holy Priesthood and in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
