- Long ago prayers of every kind were heard throughout the country when a visitor would enter a house he would say "God save all here" to which the people from within would answer "God save all those who are entering."
When going on a journey they would say "May God and save all those who are entering."
When going on a journey they would say "May God guide and direct me in this journey."
Young people had respect for their elders, and would always have a very nice salutation to greet them with starting work they said "I will now start work in the name of God."
When rising in the morning they said "I will now rise from this bed of sleep, to labour for the Lord this day."- Collector
