| The first excerpt represents the past or something you must release, and is drawn from The Tanach: Jeremiah 32: 38 and they shall be My people, and I will be their God;
Jeremiah 32: 39 and I will give them one heart and one way, that they may fear Me for ever; for the good of them, and of their children after them;
Jeremiah 32: 40 and I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from them, to do them good; and I will put My fear in their hearts, that they shall not depart from Me.
Jeremiah 32: 41 Yea, I will rejoice over them to do them good, and I will plant them in this land in truth with My whole heart and with My whole soul.
Jeremiah 32: 42 For thus saith the LORD: Like as I have brought all this great evil upon this people, so will I bring upon them all the good that I have promised them.
Jeremiah 32: 43 And fields shall be bought in this land, whereof ye say: It is desolate, without man or beast; it is given into the hand of the Chaldeans.
Jeremiah 32: 44 Men shall buy fields for money, and subscribe the deeds, and seal them, and call witnesses, in the land of Benjamin, and in the places about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, and in the cities of the hill-country, and in the cities of the Lowland, and in the cities of the South; for I will cause their captivity to return, saith the LORD.'
Jeremiah 33: 1 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah the second time, while he was yet shut up in the court of the guard, saying:
Jeremiah 33: 2 Thus saith the LORD the Maker thereof, the LORD that formed it to establish it, the LORD is His name:
Jeremiah 33: 3 Call unto Me, and I will answer thee, and will tell thee great things, and hidden, which thou knowest not.

a muddle of doubts about the early fathers and the dates of the
earlier authentic copies of the gospels, things of no conceivable
significance.
The bishop glanced through this bale of papers--it had of

special knowledge quite beyond my own in this field."
But he knew from the young man's eye even as he said this that

The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from Marie by H. Rider Haggard: last three, whom he killed with a spear. Well, I tell you that never in
all my experience have I known a better arranged or a more finely
carried out defence against huge odds. Perhaps the best part of it,
too, was the way in which this young lion acted on the information he
received and the splendid ride he made from the Mission Station. Again
I say that his father should be proud of him."
"Well, if it comes to that, I am, mynheer," said my father, who just
then joined us after his morning walk, "although I beg you to say no
more lest the lad should grow vain."
"Bah!" replied Retief, "fellows of his stamp are not vain; it is your
big talkers who are vain," and he glanced out of the corner of his
