| The first excerpt represents the past or something you must release, and is drawn from The Warlord of Mars by Edgar Rice Burroughs: Your description of his fiendish prowess tallied with that
of the arch-enemy of truth upon Barsoom.
"But that there might be no mistake I despatched a priest of
your own holy cult to make the test that should pierce his disguise
and reveal the truth. Behold the result!" and Thurid pointed a
rigid finger at my forehead.
All eyes followed the direction of that accusing digit--I alone
seemed at a loss to guess what fatal sign rested upon my brow.

The second excerpt represents the present or the deciding factor of the moment, and is drawn from Madam How and Lady Why by Charles Kingsley: them in Devon: but in some places they call them "marrocks," from
what they say.
And each has a little baby bird swimming behind it. Oh! there:
the mother has cocked up her tail and dived, and the little one is
swimming about looking for her! How it cries! It is afraid of
the yacht.
And there she comes up again, and cries "marrock" to call it.
Look at it swimming up to her, and cuddling to her, quite happy.
Quite happy. And do you not think that any one who took a gun and
shot either that mother or that child would be both cowardly and
cruel?

The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from War and the Future by H. G. Wells: British official organisations are comparatively ineffective; but
what is lacking officially is very largely made up for by the
good will and generous efforts of the English and American press.
An interesting monograph might be written upon these various
attempts of the belligerents to get themselves and their
proceedings explained.
Because there is perceptible in these developments, quite over
and above the desire to influence opinion, a very real effort to
get things explained. It is the most interesting and curious--
one might almost write touching--feature of these organisations
that they do not constitute a positive and defined propaganda
