         An Ancient Prayer
         Received April 2, 1912

Oh Lord Jesus I implore thee
thee to bless all Mandind.
Keep us to dwell with Thee
eternally. This prayer was
sent to me and is to be
sent all over the world.

Copy it and see what will
happen. It is said in
Jesus time that all who
wrote this prayer would
be delivered from all calamity
and all who pass it by
would meet with misfortune.
Those who copied within
nine days and sent to
nine friends would on
The ninth day receive
some great joy. Do not
break the chain. Write
no name. Just date
received this.
