  1. Old Prayers

    Share Share Post
    Although this district is not all over pious they have some prayers which were never in print. As a rule they never start work or business without some prayer or aspiration.

    I give my soul to God to keep
    And If I die before I wake,
    I pray to God my soul to take,"
