Papa says: "If you fb .e it In the Sun, it's so." Please tell Y( e L.e truth. Is there a Santa Claus? ta Virginia O'Hanlon. C-T No. 115 West 95th street. M Virginia, your little friends are rong. They have been affected by tr .e scepticism of a sceptical age. They N N > not believe except they see. They ink that nothing can be which is >t comprehensible 1by their little inds. AJ, minds, Virginia, whether gc Ley be men's or children's, are little. al i this great universie of ours man Is tE mere insect, an ant, in his intellect, ; compared with the boundless world >out him, as measured by the intelli ance capable of grasping the whole truth and knowledge. Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa It aus. He exists as certainly as love in id generosity and devotion exist, and >u know that they abound and give y our life its highest beauty and joy. w las! how dreary would be the world L there were no Santa Claus. It would as dreary as if there were no Vir- ai nias. There would be no childlike si ith then, no poetry, no romance, to d ake tolerable this existence. We a, iould have no enjoyment, except in se and sight. The eternall light M ith which childhood fills the world vi ould be extinguished. Not believe in Santa Claus! You ight as well not believe in fairies! G4 ou might get your papa to hire men m iwatch in all thB chimneys on Chirst- ai as Eve to catch Santa Claus coming S )wn, what woud that prove? No >dy sees Santa Claus, but that is la > sign that there is no Santa Claus. h< he most real things in the world are ose that neither children nor men in bn see. Did you ever see fairies danc- al g on the lawn? Of course not, but at's no proof that they are not there. m body can conceive or imagine all e wonders there are unseen and .... seeable in the world. You may tear apart the baby's rat- IH y and see what makes the noise in -_ e, but there is a veil covering the seen world which~ not the strong t man, nor even the united strength 'a +he strongest men that ever livad uld tear apart Only faitih, fancy, etry, love, romance can push aside iat curtain and view and picture the pernal beauty and glory beyond. Is all real? Ah, Virginia, in all this orld there is nothing else reall and biding. No Santa Claus! Thank God! he es. and he lives forever. A thou d r'ews from now, Virginia, nay, n times ten tho.usand years fromj w ha will continue to make glad e heart of childhood. RACHMAN CHAPEL NEWS.
