| The first excerpt represents the past or something you must release, and is drawn from Poems by Bronte Sisters: An hour, yet is not weary;
And, though it be a winter night
He feels nor cold nor dreary.
The prime of life is in his veins,
And sends his blood fast flowing,
And Fancy's fervour warms the thoughts
Now in his bosom glowing.
Those thoughts recur to early love,
Or what he love would name,
Though haply Gilbert's secret deeds
Might other title claim.

The second excerpt represents the present or the deciding factor of the moment, and is drawn from In Darkest England and The Way Out by General William Booth: on comes for a permanency. So long as he is willing to work for his

The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from The Ancient Regime by Charles Kingsley: ominously named Harris; took to the trowel in earnest, and revived
the Order;--on the Masons who built Magdeburg Cathedral in 876; on
the English Masons assembled in Pagan times by "St. Albone, that
worthy knight;" on the revival of English Masonry by Edwin, son of
Athelstan; on Magnus Grecus, who had been at the building of
Solomon's Temple, and taught Masonry to Charles Martel; on the
pillars Jachin and Boaz; on the masonry of Hiram of Tyre, and indeed
of Adam himself, of whose first fig-leaf the masonic apron may be a
type--on all these matters I dare no more decide than on the making
of the Trojan Horse, the birth of Romulus and Remus, or the
incarnation of Vishnoo.
