Santa Claus,

Hamilton Wright Mabie: Was
there ever a wider or more loving
conspiracy than that which keeps the
venerable figure of Santa Claus from
slipping away, with all the other old
time myths, into the forsaken won
derland Of the past? OF all the per-
sonages whose marvellous doings
once filled the minds of men he alone
survives.
He has outlived all the great gods,
and all the impressive and poetic
conceptions which once fitted be-
tween heaven and earth-these have
gone, but Santa Claus remains by
virtue of common understanding
that childhood shall not be despoiled
OF one of its most cherished beliefs,
either by the mythologist. with his
sun myth theory, or the scientist,
with his heartless diatribe against
There is a good deal more to be
said on this subject if this were the
place to say it. Even superstition
has its uses and sometimes its sound
heart of truth. He who does not see
in the legend Of Santa Claus beau
tiful faith on one side and the naive
of divine fact on the
other is not fit to have place at the
Christmas board. For him there
should be neither carol nor holly nor
mistletoe. They only shall keep the
feast to whom all these things are
but the outward and visible signs Of
an inward and spiritual grace.
