,O, 5JN, 4NM,
IS THERE A SANTA ., CLAUS?
Virginia. your little friends are wrong.
They have been affected by the scepticism of a sceptical age.
They do not believe except they see.
They think that nothing can be which is not comprehensible by
their little minds.
All minds, Virginia, whether they be men's or children's, are little.
In this great universe of ours, man is a mere insect an ant, in his
intelect. as compared with the boundless worlds about him, as
measured by the intelligence capable of grasping the whole of
truth and knowledge.
Yes. Virginia. there is a Santa Claus.
He exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist,
and you know that they abound and give to your life its high-
est beauty and joy.
Alas! how dreary would be the world if there were no Santa Claus!
It would be as dreary as if there were no Virginias.
There would be no childlike faith then, no poetry, no romance to
make tolerable this existence.
We should have no enjoyment, except in sense and sight.
The eternal light with which childhood fills the world would be
extinguished.
Not believe in Santa Claus!
You might as well not believe in fairies!
You might get your papa to hire men to watch in all the chimneys
on Christmas Eve to catch Santa Claus. but even if they did
not see Santa Claus coming down, what would that prove?
Nobody sees Santa Claus, but that is no sign that there is no Santa
clans.
The roost real things in the world are those that neither children
nor men can see.
Did you ever see fairies dancing on the lawn?
Of course not, but that's no proof that they are not there.
Nobody can conceive or imagine all the wonders that are unseen
and unseeable in the world.
You tear apart the baby's rattle and see what makes the noise
inside, but there is a veil covering the unseen world which not
the strongest man, nor even the united strength of all the strong-
est men that ever lived, could tear apart.
Only faith. fancy, poetry, love, romance, can push aside that cur-
tain, and vie wand picture the supernal beauty and glory be-
yond.
Is it all real?
Ah. Virginia. in all this world there is nothing else real and abiding.
No Santa Claus!
Thank God! he lives, and he lives forever.
A thousand years from now, Virginia, nay ten times ten thousand
years from now, he will continue to make glad the heart of
childhood.
This editorial, which has justly become timeless, was written
in the New York Sun in 1897 by Francis Pharceilus Church in
answer to a letter from a little eight-year-old girl named Virginia
O'Hanlon. who had been told by some of her friends that there was
no Santa Claus.
THE FIRST NOWELL
The first Nowell the angel did say,
Was to certain poor shepherds in
fields as they lay;
In fields where they lay keeping
their sheep,
On a cold Winter's night that was
so deep.
Nowell. Nowell, Nowell, Nowell!
Born is the King of Israel.
They looked up and saw a star
Shining in the east, beyond them
afar,
And to the earth it gave great
light,
And so it continued both day and
night.
Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell!
Born is the King of Israel.
This star drew nigh to the north-
west,

GOD REST YOU, MERRY
GENTLEMEN
God rest you, merry gentlemen,
Let nothing you dismay,
Remember Christ our Saviour
Was born on Christmas day, '
To save us all from Satan's pow'r
When we were gone astray!
O tidings of comfort and joy.
In Bethlehem, in Jewry,
This blessed Babe was bprn,
And laid within a manager,
Upon this blessed morn;
To which His Mother Mary
Did nothing take in scorn.
O tidings of comfort and joy.
O'er Bethlehem it took its rest,
And there it did both stop and stay
Right over the place where Jesus
lay.
Nowell. Nowell, Nowell, Nowell!
Born is the King of Israel.

JOY TO THE WORLD!
Joy to the world! the Lord 'is come;
Let earth receive her King;
Let every heart prepare Him
room—
And heav'n and nature sing.
Joy to the world! the Saviour
reigns;
Let men their songs employ;
While fields and floods, rock, hills
and plains—
Repeat the sounding joy.
