CHRISTMAS 'CLASSIC
This• response, made nearly thirty years ago "by Mr. Frank P.
Church to.a little girl who wrote. a letter to, the editor of the New
York Sun, saying: "My father says, if you see it in the Sun it's so;
tell me truly, is there a Santa Claus? Some of my friends say`
there is no. Santa Ciaus," is as well worth ' repeating, an-
nually, as "The Night Before Christmas": '
"Virginia, your little friends are wrong. They have been Af-
fected by the skepticism of a skeptical age.. They do not believe ex-
cept theyse'e. They think that nothing can be which is not compre-
hensible 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 crit, in his intellect, as compared with the boundless
world, about him, as measured by the intelligence capable of grasp-
ing the whole 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 a-
bouhd"and give .to' our life its highest 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 child-
like faith then, no -poetry, no romance, to snake tolerable this exis-
tence. We should have no enjoyment„except in ,sense and sight. The
eternal light with which childhood fills the world would be extin-
guished.
"Not believe in Santa Clans! ' 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? No-
body sees Santa Claus, but that is no sign there is no Santa Claus.
The most real things in the world are those that neither „children nor
men can see. Did you ever see fairies dancing onthe lawn? Of
course not; butthat's no proof that they are not there. Nobody can
conceive or imagine all. the wonders there are unseen and unseeable
in the world.
"You niay tear apart the baby's rattle and see what makes the
noise inside, but there is a veil covering the unseen world which not
even the strongest man, nor even the united strength of all the
strongest, men that ever lived, could tear apart. Only faith, fancy,
poetry, love, romance, can push aside that curtain and view and pie -
p
ture the supernal beauty and glory beyond. Is it all real?. Ah, Vir=
girls, in all this world there is nothing else real and abiding.
. RE "No Santa Claus! Thank God! he lives, and he lives forever.
A thousand years from now, Virginia; nay, ten thousand years from
now, he will continue to make glad the hearts of childhood.”

The News -Record wishes all its

"Twos the night before Christmas

Not even a. mouse.
Monday, Dec. 21st, was the short-
• est day. But all days so near Christ-
mas are short. They'll begin to
lengthen after the New'Year.
Again we have come to that sea-
son of seasons, that night of nights,
the one holiday which is celebrated
• throughout all Christendom, no+mat-
'ater what the race or color, the day
we celebrate in honour of the coming
to earth of the Saviour of the world.
• It is a good holiday, one which we
all may rejoice in, as each one has
absolutely the same reason for rd-
. joicing. No one was favored by that
• Gift of Gifts, it was bestowed alike
upon all mankind, those who still "sit
sible to those minds which, even
at that late date, still belong to •
this primitive era. That some-
thing will be an entire absence of
both poverty and riches. In a
really civilized community the
overwhelming majority of the
people will be intelligent. (That's
what will make it civilized.)
And where the overwhelming ma-
jority of the people are intelli-
gent they will not permit poverty
in their midst; neither wills they
permit themselves to be exploit-
ed."
According to this reasoning the pre-
sent state of, society, with its very
rich and its very poor, is caused by
lack of intelligence. Yet the leaders
of commerce; of education, of relig-
ion, even, would tell you, no doubt,
that the peoples of the world had
never been as intelligent as they are
today.
But, perhaps, a change will come in
the estimate of intelligence. Nowa-
days there seems to be a pretty well
defined impression .that the _success-
ful man is the one who piles up
wealth, the unsuccessful one the one
who has little of this world's goods.
We may be all wrong. Perhaps when
in darkness", to the shame ,of the we become really civilized, intelligent,
church after nearly two thousand we shall realize that mere material
years, not yet aware of the "Good wealth is not so important. We may
News," are as truly heirs of the bene-
fits as the most enlightened of the
' nations.
As a minister remarked on Sunday
last Christmas is the only holiday we
keep which is described as "Merry",
in itself. Perhaps this name was not
attached to Christmas because of the
peculiar joy coming to the world by
the birth of Christ, but be that as it
We say "Merry Christmas" to you
