No Santa Claus

Bellefontaine, Ohio, is probably
the only town or city in the
United States where there was
no Santa Claus and no Christ
mas \tree. The ministers of
that burg decided that there was
too much deception in the idea
of Santa Claus and hence it must
be "cut out. : Poor deluded min
lsters! Wonder if they ever
heard Of the Good Saint Nicho.
las" Of Holland, who during the
time of famine filled the wooden
shoes of the people, which had
been placed just outside the
doors of cabins the evening be-
fere, with food and thus appeas-
ed the hunger and saved the
lives of his subjects? Or did they
ever hear of the German Christ
kingle" the Christchild, who in
that country takes the place of
Santa Clause in America, and
bringe the toys and gifts to the
children? What if the parents
and friends are used as the 60
betweens or agents Of the Christ
child9 Is there anything decept-
i've in ascribing to Him the CIV
ing the pretty toys, articles OF
wearing apyeral and other gifts?
If SO, then better cut out" the
idea of Santa Claus, bat if the
story Of Christ giving to be born
in the maager, to live and do
rood on eaath and to be crucified
fer the sins Of his fellowmen, if
this story amounts to nothing,
then do away with Santa Claus
and Christmas. But as long as
the Sstory of Bethlehem is true,
Just SO long will the Birth of
Christ be celebrated and the
Christchild will be accredited the
honor and glory due Him. Poor
