To everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted. . . A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance. . . A time to get and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away. ECCLESIASTES, III. 1 i n.
