GOOD LUCK PRAYER

Trust in the Lord with all thine heart. In all thy ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct thy paths.
This prayer has been sent around the world four times and the one who breaks it has bad luck. The prayer has been sent to you for good luck. The original comes from the Netherlands. The luck of it has been sent to you. You are to have good luck four days after you receive it. Don't send money and this copy only if you want bad luck. It must leave your hands twenty-four hours after receiving it. Send this copy and four others to someone you wish good luck. Please send this copy and see what happens four days after you receive it.

[This was followed by thirty-three names]

Published: Colorado Springs Gazette, Aug. 5, 1963, p. 6. Letter to Editor. "This is not the first time such letters have been mailed to some of our family; none have gone any farther."  Transcription error at some point: "... and this copy only if you want bad luck" is as in newspaper. But it may have originally read something like:  "... and please do not keep this copy or you will have bad luck."  Entered by DWV, Jan. 9, 2014.
