'No, mamma,' said the child; 'let me look at these pictures first;
and then I'll come, and tell you all about them.'
'We are going to have a small party on Monday, the fifth of
November,' said my mother; 'and I hope you will not refuse to make
one, Mrs. Graham. You can bring your little boy with you, you know
- I daresay we shall be able to amuse him; - and then you can make

The second excerpt represents the present or the deciding factor of the moment, and is drawn from Collection of Antiquities by Honore de Balzac: almost exclusive attention. The good man was passionately fond of
gardening. He was in correspondence with some of the most celebrated
amateurs; it was his ambition to create new species; he took an

The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from The Tanach: 2_Chronicles 13: 19 And Abijah pursued after Jeroboam, and took cities from him, Bethel with the towns thereof, and Jeshanah with the towns thereof, and Ephrain with the towns thereof.

2_Chronicles 14: 2 (14:1) And Asa did that which was good and right in the eyes of the LORD his God;
2_Chronicles 14: 3 (14:2) for he took away the strange altars, and the high places, and broke down the pillars, and hewed down the Asherim;
2_Chronicles 14: 4 (14:3) and commanded Judah to seek the LORD, the God of their fathers, and to do the law and the commandment.
2_Chronicles 14: 5 (14:4) Also he took away out of all the cities of Judah the high places and the sun-images; and the kingdom was quiet before him.
2_Chronicles 14: 6 (14:5) And he built fortified cities in Judah; for the land was quiet, and he had no war in those years; because the LORD had given him rest.
2_Chronicles 14: 7 (14:6) For he said unto Judah: 'Let us build these cities, and make about them walls, and towers, gates, and bars; the land is yet before us, because we have sought the LORD our G
