Clays, Well, It !s a Rood thlDR to
stand up for truth, if we really know
the truth. Rut we know that a great
many very learned people have been A Jf
wrangling about what truth is for sev- *k\ Pm
eral thousand years, and yet it does
not seem to be definitely settled. But
for the most of us truth is what we
truly helle\>. It Is the faith that Is In Krh
us, and Santa Clans is a faith, if not
a fact, and so we say again that we do IPN

Tnke Santa Claus away from the ; S.31
children and you rob Christmas of half
its Joy. Orownup though we may he,
we would rather hang up our stocking
"the night before Christmas" and find
It bulging full of gifts in the dim light
Christmas morning, thun to have a earload
come duly tied up and labeled,
and delivered by the mailman. Who
wouldn't? There Is a lure in the mystery
of Santa Claus that has endeared
him to every childish heart, and so do
not take him away until you have Mu
something better to offer. & ?.
Only Once a Year. ^ IK
But how seldom Christmas coiues {, ' 80S
only once n year; and how soon It Is %;
over?a day and a night! If that is
the whole of it, it seems not much t- .
more durable than the little toys one lN; mf|
buys of a faker on the street corner.
But surely that need not and ought wf v''
not to be tbo whole of Christmas; only
a single day of generosity, ransomed
from the dull servitude of a selfish I* & '<%;
year. If every gift Is a token of peraonnl
thought, a friendly feeling, and
unselfish Interest In the Joy of others,
then the thought, the feeling, the Interest,
may remain after the gift Is *
