rout, complete and terrible.
The fighting was steadily approaching us now, until the
crack of rifles sounded in the very street upon which we
were looking. And then came a handful of brave men--a
little rear guard backing slowly toward the west, working
their smoking rifles in feverish haste as they fired volley
after volley at the foe we could not see.
But these were pressed back and back until the first line of
the enemy came opposite our shelter. They were men of

The second excerpt represents the present or the deciding factor of the moment, and is drawn from The Tanach: 2_Chronicles 22: 9 And he sought Ahaziah, and they caught him--now he was hiding in Samaria--and they brought him to Jehu, and slew him; and they buried him, for they said: 'He is the son of Jehoshaphat, who sought the LORD with all his heart.' And there was none of the house of Ahaziah that had power to hold the kingdom.
2_Chronicles 22: 10 Now when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the seed royal of the house of Judah.
2_Chronicles 22: 11 But Jehoshabeath, the daughter of the king, took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stole him away from among the king's sons that were slain, and put him and his nurse in the bed-chamber. So Jehoshabeath, the daughter of king Jehoram, the wife of Jehoiada the priest--for she was the sister of Ahaziah--hid him from Athaliah, so that she slew him not.
2_Chronicles 22: 12 And he was with them hid in the house of God six years; and Athaliah reigned over the land.
2_Chronicles 23: 1 And in the seventh year Jehoiada strengthened himself, and took the captains of hundreds, Azariah the son of Jeroham, and Ishmael the son of Jehohanan, and Azariah the son of Obed, and Maaseiah the son of Adaiah, and Elishaphat the son of Zichri, into covenant with him.
2_Chronicles 23: 2 And they went about in Judah, and gathered the Levites out of all the cities of Judah, and the heads of fathers' houses of Israel, and they came to Jerusalem.
2_Chronicles 23: 3 And all the congregation made a covenant with the king in the house of God. And he said unto them: 'Behold, the king's son shall reign, as the LORD hath spoken concerning the sons of David.

The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from The Crisis in Russia by Arthur Ransome: subside definitely to a lower level of civilization can do
otherwise than to concentrate upon the improvement of
transport. Labor in Russia must be used first of all for that,
in order to increase its own productivity. And, if purchase
of help from abroad is to be allowed, Russia must "control"
the outflow of her limited assets, so that, by healing
transport first of all, she may increase her power of making
new assets. She must spend in such a way as eventually
to increase her power of spending. She must prevent the
frittering away of her small purse on things which, profitable
to the vendor and doubtless desirable by the purchaser,
