    (continued from previous page)
    made many prayers and some of these prayers still exist.
    A prayer which is said going to bed is
    "As I lay down my head to sleep
    I give my soul for God to keep
    There are four corners on my bed
    There are four angels round my head
    Mathew, Mark, Luke and John.
    God bless the bed that I lie on."
    Another prayer which is said at any time of the day is
    "Gentle Jesus meek and mild
    Pity me a little child
    Make me humble as thou art
    Bless my soul with heavenly grace
    Till I behold Thy Glorious Face"
    Amen
