These giants are Discourager and Despair, said to be twin brothers, sons
of a bad mighty couple, Unbelief and Doubt, who live in the same wilderness
and are, they say, the grandfather and grandmother of one of the worst
families of giants in all Canaan. It is in this Wilderness that pilgrims
encounter Giant Accuser, a cousin of Giants Discourager and Despair.
It is said that Pilgrim Victory had a long and hard battle with these
two giants, Discourager and Despair. We shall have time this evening,
so why not visit Victory? Probably he will tell us of this battle. We
should like to know how he overcame them. We hear these two giants are
really afraid of him since he has become so proficient in the use of the
sword.
Very well, let us visit Pilgrim Victory.
Where does he live? He lives on Mount Moriah, and we shall find him at
home, no doubt.
Oh see, here is a monument by the roadside! Let us stop and read the
inscription. Oh! Listen!
"It was on this spot that a desperate battle was fought between Pilgrim
Victory and two of the worst giants in Canaan, Giants Discourager and
Despair. Victory won after a long fight. The castle of Giant Despair is
situated in one of the dark ravines to the right.
