There came a giant 10 my door,
4 giant fierce and strong;
His step was heavy on the floor,
His arms were ten yards long.
He scowled and frowned, he shook the
ground:
I trembled through and through.
Al length looked him in the face
And cried. Who cares for you?
The mighty giant as 7 spoke
Grew pale and thin and small,
And through his body. as 'twere smoke,
I saw the sunshine fall,
His blOod-red eyes turned blue as skies.
Is t7ss.' 7 cried. with growing pride.
Is this the mighty Fee?
He sank before my earnest face,
He vanished quite away,
And left no shadow in his place
Between me and the day
Such giants come 20 strike rs dumb.
But weak IN every part.
They melt before the strong mans eyes.
And hy the true Of heart"

The greater part Of the courage that
the world needs most is not necessarily Of
the heroic kind. Il needs the courage 10

the truth, the courage 10 be what we

We are not, the courage 20 live within our
Hleans-the courage that dares TO displav
Itself n silent Efforts and eudeavor, that
dares 10 endure all and suffer all for truth
and for duty.
