An Ancient Prayer

O Lord, I pray Thee to bless and deliver me from evil and bring me to dwell with Thee. This prayer was sent to me and is being sent around the world. Copy it and see what happens to you. It was read in Jesus' time, and those who wrote it were delivered, and those who passed it by met with misfortune. Copy it and send it to nine people, and in ten days you will meet with some great joy. Do not break the chain; send it on the day you receive it.

Published: The Lincoln Star (Lincoln, Nebraska), April 30, 1914, p. 10.
MINERVA'S MAIL  - If you are in doubt, ask Minerva.
"... Two weeks ago I received the same chain prayer, and this week received one. Do you think I should write and send this prayer around? Will anything evil befall me if I do not? I am sending the prayer to you that you may see what you think of it."   [text]  Entered by DWV, Sept.. 20, 2014.
