The opening

DAILY PRAYERS.

“O GOD GIVE EAR UNTO ME, HELP ME, AND GIVE ME UNDERSTANDING, THAT I MAY LEARN.”

In the name of the Father, the Son, and tlie Holy Ghost, Amen.

Glory be to Thee, O our God, glory be to Thee.

O Heavenly King, the Comforter, the Spirit of truth. Who art every where and fillest all things, the treasure of blessings and giver of life, come to us and make Thine abode in us, cleanse us from all impurity, and save our souls of Thy goodness.

The whole book is in the Sphinx app.
