OUR LETTER TO SANTA CLAUS.

Dear Santa Claus: Many of the
little children have taken us into
their confidence this year, sending
through The News their small re-
quests to you. We have enjoyed be-
ing your messenger almost as much
as We enjoyed the visits you paid us
in days gone by. We grown-ups can
not expect you to come to us as you
used to do for other children have
taken our places on your visiting
list, yet we at least cannot drive
away a certain longing to be one of
them just this once, as we have read
their dear, sweet letters, seeing in
our minds eye, the eager, eXpectant
faces of our little friends who are
waiting quite impatiently for your
coming
This is Just a word to YOU i'm be-
half OF those whose letters you will
find in this issue. We want you to
remember them all, old friend. Fill
their little stockings full of good
things, bringing the girls the pret-
tiest dolls in your big collection and
leaving for the small boys the noisiest
horns and whistles and the jolliest
games your great toyshop atfaords.
They are all good little tots, as good
as you will find in your long world
travel and they will be very grateful
for your gifts. We want you to visit
them all and others who have not
written. perhaps, but are looking for
you just the same.
We are not asking anything for
ourselves except the continued CON
fidence Of the little children of Ian
caster county, whose willing postman
we have been. If you make their
Christm"s happy, you will have full
filed oud dearest wish. BE good to
them, dear Santa, and take care of
your jolly old self. With lots of love
to you and hearty good wishes for
a merry, merry Christmas.
Trustfully yours,
THE EDITOR.

THE EDITOR.
CHRISTMAS CHEER TO THE
SORROWING.

In our own joyous anticipation of
the season we are now approaching,
in our almost childish enthusiasm
over Christmas, we would not forget
those to whom the great day of all
the year brings only sorrow When
others are glad and happy, bent only
on giving and getting good cheer,
some are lonely, for their thoughts
revert to other Christmases when
loved ones gathered near, whose
presence made happiness and whose
light laughter once echoed through
the now silent rooms. Loved ones
are missing without whom there can
be no merriment. And it is at this
happy time, when others are making
merry, that the pain of separation
seems hardest of all to Dear.
To those of our readers burdened
with the weight of a great affliction,
we wish to speak some word of com
fort. We bid them recall the old, old
story of how the Christ-Child blessed
the lives Of Mary and Joseph, who be-
fore had been anxious and distressed
how to them and to the humble shep-
herds came the vision denied the
carefree and the well-favored. And
even as Christ appeared first to these
needy ones in Bethlehem, so will
He come again to sorrow1ng men and
women, changing their grief into joy.
The Christmas wreaths and bright
flowers which are but emblems OF
our happiness will soon fade and the
Christmas candles will burn out. SO

MERRY CHRISTMAS.

The old wish is still the best No
other sentiment has been proposed
which we like so we'll as the glad
good words, Merry Christmas.
A merry Christmas, then, to all
our readers. The Christmas season
should bring joy to every heart and
1t does when we rightly observe it,.
Christmas must be merry if we will
it so. Let's all be lavish i'm our use
of the outward symbols of Christ
mas, wreathing our homes in holly,
pine and mistletoe, giving gifts to
our friends and to the needy, speak
ing words of good cheer to those we
meet. But above all let's have
Christmas in our hearts. The Christ
mas thought is that which makes us
kind and tender, the Christmas
spirit that high, ennobling thing that
lifts us out of ourselves, the Christ
mas vision that broad view enabling
men to see far out beyond the narrow
confines of their petty lives. We
want the people of Lancaster to get
every gift worth having, gifts tenn
poral. as we'll as the gifts Of the
spirit. And let us all be glad and
happy. Merry Christmas to you all

each life is but an incident in Gods
great plan of things. The Christmas
blessing is that good thing which
abides. God so loved us that He sent
His Son that day to bless this world
forever. Who can doubt then
that He loves His people. Though
He may have tried some of His chill
dren sorely, they must believe that
His ways are best And may His
Christmas benediction rest upon sor-
rowing ones.
