    (1) When going to bed at night, the old people say,
    "I pray to God my soul to save, I go to my bed as I go to my grave".
    (2) When lighting the lamp at night -
    "God bless the light and save us from darkness in the next world."
    (3) When hearing of an accident, they would say.
    "God between us and harm."
    (4) When they would hear of sick-ness
    "God break all hard crosses before us."
