An Ancient prayer.  O Lord I implore
thee to bless all mankind take us to
dwell with thee.  This prayer was
sent to me & is to be sent all over the
world. Copy it & see what will happen.
It was said in Jesus time that all
who wrote it would be delived from
all calamity & all who passed it by
would met with some misfortune
those who copy it in 9 days & send
it to nine friends will on the 9th receive
some great joy. Do not break the chain.
Sign no name.  Date Right May 2, 1912.
