Be a Giant Killer.

Again. notice that these spies re-

the sons Of Anak. This showed their
wisdom. The other giants might not
he so formidable in appearance as the
Anakim, but they might be just aS
nowerful an enemy through being bet
fer equipped and armed. Some OF these
savage giants might fight with sword
and spear. some with a hand net, some
with snares and stratagem, some WIN
poisoned arrows, some by starvation
and cold. So In our fight. Though a
man Is able to resist one gigantic temp
tation of life, that does not prove that
he can resist all temptations. You are
not n drunkard, but that does not prove
YOU may not be overthrown by the
ciant of sensuality, or by the giant OF
avarice. or by the giant Of Jealousy, or
by the giant of the evil tongue. In an
old legendary story we once read ABOUT
the boy called Jack the Giant hliler.
Now. every man, woman and chlld' II
