[Patriarchal Blessings] William Leany. (Given by John Smith.)

.... Thou art called to go forth to the nations of the earth to hunt up the remnants of Jacob, not only from among the gentiles but to gather thousands of the Lamanites and their seed. ... gather thousands of the remnants of Jacob and build a city for their safety, and establish it as a Stake of Zion and preside over it forever ...
