Those men had simply been waiting

special juryman is late they step into

his place. When the real Simon Pure

SHALL WE TELL THE TRUTH?

Let children have their enjoyment
about Santa Claus. Don't deprive
them of their pleasure in that line, on
the plea that we must speak only the
plain truth to children. Children are
entitled to their share of enjoyment
through indulging their imaginations
on Christmas, or on other days" This
is a common way of talking about the
children and Santa Claus. And there
is a measure of truth in it. There is
also a measure of falsity in it. A child's
imagination is far more active than an
older persons. And a child, even a
very young child, knows the difference
between fact and fancy, between dead
liberalism and the use of Imagination.
1t is therefore true that a child ought
to be INDUCED in the proper exercise of
his imagination of fancy in connection
with Christmas and its enjoyments.
But it is also true that n child. even a
very young child, knows the difference
between fancy and falsity, between
making believe" or pretending. and
telling what is wholly untrue; and
therefore it is not proper 10 overstep
the line between fancy and falsity in
dealing with child. so that the child
shall have his confidence shaken in the
one whom he ought to trust absolutely.
Christmas is the day observed in
commemoration of the human birth of
our Lord and Savior. 1t is fittingly OBJ
served by the giving of gifts, as Jesus
was the Gift of gifts. The watching
for gifts. at this season, and the won
dering what they may be, meets the
pleasant imaginings of the children,
says the Sunday School Times. But 81

From military standpoint the ca .
