manners drift into chaos until they get

WHY MATERIALTsTs LACK FAYTu.
Real fairy stories are far truer thar
any truth that appeals 70 the minds
OF the naterialists; they are true to the
ideals by which right minded men and
women live and truer than any fact
discovered by those who grovsl close
to the ground.
II Santa Claus could give money
that they hadn't earned--if what he
gave them were clear profit--if some
good fairy should touch the lips of their
women folk so that diamonds ana
pearls should be scattered broadcast
when they talked---then, and AMY then
there would be a most hearty belief in
the ideal truths of youth ana wesshould
have the greatest campaign In behalf
OF the ideal that the world Mas ever
seen. But, then, you see. the ideal
would become the PRACTICAL and Satan
would have some difficulty in number
Ing his converts and serVants.---JoeI
