made recently to the Chicago Methodist
Ministerial Association by the Rev.
David G. Downey, corresponding secre-

hearers by saying:
I'VE have ceased to expect accessions

CHliDREN'S SAINT.

No proof is needed that the patron
saint of Christmas is very real en-
bodiment in the mind of the average
child ST. Nick lives forever in the
juvenile mind, along with Peter Pan and
the hobgoblins that infest the dark.
And that adult who, overzealous in the
cause of truth, would shatter this faith
in the realities of the make-believe,
should be frowned into silence by the
greater number who, at the cost Of some
slight Juggling of white lies, perpetuate
the spirit of romance in the race. There
is a Santa Claus-let it be heralded
throughout the Land of Childhood.
How many households in the post
Christmas season know little and great
privations, lovingly endured, which
would not have been had the good old
man with the snowy beard not visited
that house? But who among those de-
voted parents would purchase the for
sworn luXuries-perhaps the gone-with-
out necessities-by taking from the
toddlers those hobby-horses and dolls,
those lead soldiers and cradles, which
were found on Christmas morning just
where childhood's answering faith had
known they would be found?
And how much Of the imagination of
the race, upon which is founded its liter
allure, its art, and the higher phases Of
its life, would have been lost if there
had never been a Santa Claus, Peter
Pan, or fairy princess in beleagued
castle, to give direction to fancy in the
most impressionable age ofSthe mind?
All fiction. all true art, is born of the
same faculty to which the belief in Santa
Claus owes its perennial persistence.
Remove the child's interestin the patron
of it's happiest day if you will-but at
the same time discard the reading of
Shakespeare immortal fancies and all
imaginative literature. One is as
worthy of the child as the other is of
the grown-up. Both are but varying
phases of the racial craving for the
make-believe. And life in childhood
would be as gray without the the color
ing of the make-believe as life in man
hood without literature.

Historic Bridge Removed.

The old bridge over the Cheat river
at Rowelesburg, on the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad, % miles west of Oakland,
was rolled from its piers at 1920 o clock
Friday morning and the new bridge,
waiting to sink into position. was rolled
onto the vacant place. The work was
done by hydraulic machinery and occu-
pied less than 20 minutes. Traffic on
the main line of the road was not inter-
rupted.
Cheat river has been spanned by twin
bridges, each carrying one track. The
new bridge replaces the twin bridges
and carries two tracks. 1t consists of
two spans, one end of each span rest
ing on central pier, and is said to be
the heaviest structure of the kind in the
state.

teal Fruit Growing. 1.-THE Control of In
sect Pests and Plant diseases, and
