O Jesus our prayer implores thee to bless all
mankind & help us to dwell with thee. This
prayer was sent to me Mar 7, 1914 it is to be
sent all over the world. Copy & see what will
happen. It is said in the time of Jesus all
those copy it will be delivered from all
misfortune & those who pass it up will meet
with some great calamity. Those who copy
it in 9 days & send it to 9 persons will on
the 9 day receive some great joy.
Don't break chain. Sign no name,
