Is There a Santa Claus?

The story told of a little girl who
wrote to a local editor inquiring if
there is a Santa Claus, and the
editor replied expressing full faith
in that unseen character who
though not seen, spreads his
splendid work everywhere. Yes,
little girl, and all little girls and
boys, and big ones, too, there is a
Santa Claus, whom we all know by
his work rather than by a view OF
his personality. He exists as Ger.
tainly as love and generosity and
devotion exist, and you know that
they abound and give your life its
highest beauty and joy. Alas,
how dreary would be the world if
there were no Santa Claus! 1t
would be as dreary as if there
we're no children. There wouldbe
no child-li k faith then, no poetry,
no romance to make tolerable this
existence. W. should have no en-
joyment except in sense and sight,

When Fear BEGAN.
Rv George L Knapp.


VY=0r we want to trace the beginning of that conquest of fear on
4@H n j which man was forced to enter, let US look for tn spot
XXI IL + where that conquest is most complete. We shall find 1t, lot IN
camps Tor armies, no in any masculine thing; but in the sx
1C@MIO1 which we usually associate with tmidty, rather than with
pluck The most devoted, unfaiing, unreckOnmg courage on
I'D earth today is the courage of the mother in defense of her child.
It may defy reason;t but ut least it is proof against either force or surprise;
and this hs been rue since a time so remote that it must be measured by
race; but even he is not old enough to remember the birth Of mother love
and devotion. For the baby, look. you, when thoroughly frightened, does not
to escape OF his own hook. Not al all. He knows a trick worth hundreds
OF that. He screams and cings; screams for the help that in all the age5
has never failed him; cungs that he may be carried away from danger
This. then, vas the starting point of human valor; this is where terror
was first beaten back-and the victory vas doubtless before w nan
was mar The next gain a made by the mob The second most common
form Of bravery is the mass courage Oft the soldier the readiness to encounter
dangers in company. This is possessed. at least in the germ, by practically
yer healthy mn Much less frequent is h courage that cn go ahead
without either witnesses Or assurances Of support. Rarery yet is the pluck
that snaps into action automatically, and that surprise cannot dhconcert;
the "two O'Clock in the morning courage" which Napoleon priced SO highly
AS a measure of its comparative frequency, just recall the fact that the Aus
tran army at Arcoa. which had fought like banded panthers for two days.
dissolved int a swiring mob at the unlocked for charge Of fifty horseme on
their flank. Rarest OF all! is moral courage. which cal face danger and scorn
at once. The man who owns this quality in any high degree has won to the
very forefront of the army CT progress.
In this distribution of the varying breeds of bravery, I think we find the
clue to its origin. Human courage is not ar individual but a communal
timing OURS is not the simple, unconscious vahr Of the bulldog; no the ferO-
caous daring of the leopard; yet the half stupid disregard of danger and
pain which the O tribe displays in such measure Our courage is derived,
seconeary: complex; the child Of fellow feeling, and the grandchnd of fear
ear compacted primitive man int groups: and group life bred the SYM
patty m intelligence which are slowly mastering the primal terror First
te mother courage, since families came before hordes, and the primitive
FAMILY Is the mother and her offspring. Then the mob courage of massed
numbers: then other and finer forms; and finally the moral vbr which en-
aONeS the individual to cut Dose from deDendence on the oDiuionsO Of his. fl
nd face the world Observation-Disclosures. |
