GREATNESS TEsTEB ny LITTLE
THINGS.

That is not greatness, calmness, strength of
soul,
When, once for all, thou dost experience
Some sudden, terrible calamity,
Some last, decisive, heavy blow Of fate,
The loss of reputation, of estate,
Ofthose thou lovst, of health, of happiness,
And still remainest patient and composed
That is necessity laid on thy soul;
The suffering of violence humbles thee.
But if thou Dearest all the lesser cares,
Burdens, and torments of each passing day,
Nor feel'st them bitter-if serene and
strong,
Thou dearest little trials, blessing God
That, only that, dear soul, is greatness,
strength,
Collectedness of spirit, godly walk,
For little griefs thou highest not endure,
But scorn them, proving thyself inferior,
Even to thy destiny. Then use, O heart,
Courage and strength, mtldness and cheer
fulness,
Where only thou canst do tin little
things. tie LdynlaR's Breeiary.
