Heavyweight pass: this concluding blessing/prayer by President Joseph Fielding Smith had no file of its own — it was embedded mid-file inside 1970-10-lee-before-we-announce-president-smith-as-the.md, sandwiched between Lee's introduction ('...give you an opportunity to leave us your blessing') and Lee's subsequent thank-you/announcements section. Extracted verbatim, no wording changed.
